Let’s see..

I came up with my site because I thought it would be nice to track down other people that have herpes too. I also thought it would be a good thing to try and help others to not feel so bad about their herpes diagnosis. I suppose if your attitude is in the toilet all the time that your outlook on life wouldn’t be the greatest.

I want to know who told her that I have only ever had one outbreak in the entire 12 years that I have had genital herpes. When I first read that, I couldn’t help myself, I just had to giggle over THAT one. With an attitude like that I can understand why she is so miserable all the time.

I never could understand why people that have such difficulties with outbreaks don’t give suppressive therapy a try. When I first contracted herpes I got outbreaks all the time too. Eventually I wound up on suppressive therapy for two years taking 500 mg of Valtrex daily. It was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

Well.. this is the first negative comment I have ever received about my site. I suppose I will have to link this post to the feedback page so that people will see that I don’t always get thank you’s and happy smiles from around the globe.
