Hi,

I just wanted to share my herpes story.

I contracted the virus when i was 17 now i am 30. It has been a very long road. But I know when my body is out of balance because i get an outbreak.

Homeopathics have helped with the emotional trauma for sure! But i still get regular outbreaks.

I have found through trial and error that honesty with partners is the best policy. You owe it to yourself.

I have met lovers who still wanted to make love with me and some when i tell them they don’t want to get involved. ANd also i haeven’t told and that can be really bad you just feel guilty.

But now i tell on the second or third date if i think i want to get intimate. And i don’t have casual sex anymore. But this is actually really good for my self esteem. It used to be a problem for me and i would feel terrible and i couldn’t get close to anyone.

I was on the run with a voracious appetite! Bad idea and many tears shed.

I am embarking on a candida free diet in hope that this will help to hold of the outbreaks.

Love and truth go hand in hand. When your in love and your partner loves u your outbreaks usually die off.

Herpes is a great indicator for your wholistic health. self love is a great healer xo

Im 19 years old, yesterdai was the worst valentines day of my life (thats when i found out). My fiancee and i have been having unprotected sex since we’ve been together and even during outbreak because we didnt know what has occured. Anywhoo i litterly cried for hours on his sholder he didnt seem to upset, were not sure if he has it yet but its pritty probable.I keep thinking of this as nasty and dont want to look at myself , i dont want to go to the washroom because i dont want to see the outbreak. Its not very painful except if i thouch it the worst part i think is the feeling of not being clean and having toncilitis…. i have no idea what to think at the moment im so discusted and upset with myself my fiancee is the only one who knows but hes not very good at talking about it its as if he doesnt care.

whether the presence of a woman herpes can not be pregnant? If a woman is pregnant, is there a serious risk to the child? Nathalie says Herpes, unlike other STDs cannot stop a woman from having babies or make a woman sterile. Please read this article about herpes and pregnancy. It should help you understand things better.

i contracted herpes about a year ago, my fiance and I found out at the same time , i got it from an ex and gave it to my fiance. I never even had symptoms until one day my fiance had a sore. We have been through alot since then. I am writing today because i am confused and scared that my fiance only asked me to marry him because we have herpes and he’s scared of being alone. He said that since we found out we have the disease it has taken the “choice factor” out of his life. he tells me he loves me and wants to spend his life with me . I love him very much and feel very guilty about giving him the disease everyday. i guess all i want to know is how i can tell if he really wants to be with me or if its the herpes talking?? any advise please??

Nathalie Foy says: As much as I would like to I cannot tell you how your fiance feels. I think you should ask him and tell him how you feel guilty.

It seems men tend not to make a big deal out of herpes, at least not as much as women do. I think he probably asked to marry you because he wants to. From my standpoint, it seems you need to learn to communicate better with him and speak your heart.

I can only tell you this. I would feel great if the man I loved asked me to marry him. If I was not ready, I would say not yet but I know I would love the feeling. Don’t let herpes make you do or feel anything. If he is not the one, he is not. If you feel you need such and such before you can feel ready to get married, let him know.

All I’m saying is behave normally. Herpes cannot and will never define yourself or your relationship only if you let it.

I have genital herpes and want to die. Can't live with this. Can't tell anyone about this. Can't spread it. Can't bear to date anymore. Can't look at myself in the mirror. Nathalie Says: Do not stay alone. Please visit a local herpes support group. You will get better

Itreat my herpes with Hydrogen Peroxide,and it works.Ifirst had herpes thirty eight years ago when I was 18 years.I do not know how I contracted it.Ihave used acciclovir,zovirax,lysine valtrex etc,but all failed to satisfy me.It is only when I used H2O2 i.e. Hydrogen Peroxide that I got the first real relief from the disease.Use H2O2, 3% taken with milk or distilled water without chlorine.It is the best treatment against herpes.

Well it’s been over a year…..

Unfortunately my relationship with this wonderful man ended because i had to move to another continent….it was painful and i felt very lonely…needless to say that he did get herpes from me…which made it even more painful. He wasn’t mad because he knew about it, but i was more angry at me because i took my medications, use the essentials oils, staying away from certains foods and it still didnt quite work. Anyway now back on the dating scene i meet this wonderful man, we’ve been dating for quite sometimes and he says he loves me. I’ve decided to tell him the truth today and risk being rejected…I am scared out of my mind, about his reaction and also about being rejected by him because i got very attached….
Since i contracted this disease, my life is very difficult, i stressed a lot and i get depressed very often. I try to move forward but so very often i cant get my mind of this painful experience, i think about suicide often i am not the person i was before my diagnosis….
part of me thinks i am better of alone, that i deserve to be alone…
I am so exhausted of having herpes on my mind days and nights…..

I seriously want out of this life at times…

Nathalie Foy says: Hopeless, you cannot stay alone like that. You need to visit a support group and maybe get therapy. I think you deserve to think about something else than herpes all day. I write about it all day and I never think about it as a threat. I know it so well, I feel I can even control it mentally. In your situation , I would consider suppressive therapy at least at the beginning. You can use acyclovir if you cannot afford Valtrex. I use all natural suppressive therapy but I can understand that at some point you may want to start taking medical suppressive treatment not for yourself but your date. Then you can tell your date that you are taking suppressive therapy and that greatly cuts the chances of transmission. If you transmitted herpes despite taking suppressive therapy then you should definitely use my natural protocol on top of that.
I believe focusing on herpes all day is probably one of the main reasons you probably transmitted it in the first place. I suggest you find a therapy, hypnotherapy, EFT… that helps you focus on how good you feel about yourself and helps you bring back some peace of mind in your life.

i jsut got dignosed with genital herpes on my birthday, Ive only had this disease for a few months . I am so sad. Im so young only 16. I really dont know what to believe for cures. I take valtrex when i have a out break. I dont have the virus serve, because i only get one sore. Even my first out break was one sore. It lasted a week too. now when i get an outbreak it last two to four days. I dont get any of the symptoms , just a sore will appear. but i always get an outbreak around the 17 – 19 every month. im very confused . I even wonder if i have the virus. I would love to hear what anyone thinks. My doctor doesnt really have mucb to say either.. thanks

I don’t know when I contracted herpes, but I always thought it was candida at first, until my gyn had a pap smear done and told me it was herpes. he gave me zovirax orally, but after i read the secondary effects ot it I stoped it.
Reading alot about it on the net, i found that lysine was somthing to consider, so I took it, and it did help but came back at every menstral period.. I also took probiotics and that was the thing that didn’t make it come back. When i stopped probiotics it would reappear.
So I’m writing this as an info for anyone it would help.
