Who wants to play chase the virus around the penis?
Posted on Friday, March 27th, 2009 at 7:21 PMI’ve had HSV for about 6 months or so. I caught it from a new partner who says she had no idea she was infected. I was so annoyed and hurt that I ended the relationship but we have recently become friends again. She is still adamant that she has no outbreaks and I now believe her. Just goes to show how easy it is to pick up this bloody virus!
My initial episode was pretty bad and my Dr gave me Valtrex for it. I was then o/b free for about 5 weeks but a sexual encounter kicked it off again. My Dr then gave me Acyclovir which also worked. This cycle continued for a few months and I noticed that the medication seemed to work on the initial o/b BUT that it also seemed to merely postpone a more severe o/b until the medication had finished. At this point the o/b came back worse than ever so I decided to stop with the medication and look for another solution.
I tried Herpeset which did nothing for me except lighten my wallet considerably. I then tried Dynamiclear and have found as follows:
The 1st time I used it it cleared up a very minor o/b overnight and I was initially very happy. The next o/b was a lot harsher and I used Dynamiclear again. It cleared the ulcers quickly but I noticed that another o/b developed immediately in a new location that I’ve never had an o/b on before (I usually get o/b in two places). I treated this o/b with Dynamiclear and another o/b broke out in a new area again! This one was treated and another o/b broke out in the original place BUT this o/b is so small that I almost didn’t notice it. It consists of 2 tiny scratches and no blisters or ulcers. I have just treated this latest o/b so will have to see how this one pans out. All this has taken just 5 days which is pretty quick to have 4 separate o/bs.
I have read other reviews stating that there can be an initial game of ‘chase the virus around the penis’ but that it settles down sooner or later. I hope it’s sooner in my case because I’m bored of the game now but it could all be worth it.
