I’ve always had it since I was a child, don’t know for sure when I contracted Hsv1. I remember geting one when I was 11 & didn’t get my next one till I was in my mid 30′s after 1st getting my depo shot. After I noticed that was the trigger to my outbreaks ( as I was getting them like every month there after ) I stopped with the shots. In my mind thinking after the meds from the depo is out of my system things will go back to “normal” ( meaning I would have to have done something drastic to my lip or health for it to reappear. I thought wrong because still I get them frequently. I know my triggers but still there are things I cannot control like getting a fever or a cold. I welcome all the suggestions above about different things to take but the fact is I am tired of putting money into valtrex, Lyisine, abreva & the other things to treat the problem. I want to put my money into a cure so that I can be done with this problem once & for all. I feel cheated, I just can’t believe that there isn’t a cure for this yet. It’s hard & embarressing to go into work with this big ugly thing on your face & people judging you. I know, you should think about or even care what others think about you but it’s just sad that all of you above & myself have to live with this for the rest of our lives. I just wish a cure will come. It has been 4 years since this article was posted. There has to be some news out there on the progress or study of curing this nasty curse. Since my current outbreak I am looking to the net to find out if there is any good news regarding this problem. PLEASE HELP, I AM SO STRESSED I DON”T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE FREQUENT REOCCURENCES OF MY OUTBREAKS!! I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO DIE!!!

Christ… the virus sucks, yes, but it isn’t debilitating by any means like many of you are stating. I would love mine to go away for good but odds are, like the article says, you’ll have it by the time you are 40.

Having it doesn’t mean you stop kissing, doesn’t mean you stop going down, doesn’t mean anything except you are just more careful with your bodies and other’s bodies than everyone else!

By being careful you are safer And there is nothing sexier than someone who knows their body and practices safe sex, safe kissing, safe whatever!

For all those that “Just got it”, sooner or later you’ll get your mojo back and get into the swing of things again. Just be careful!

I have tried EVERYTHING for outbreaks above mouth! Diagnosed hsv2 1 year ago. I have purchased every supplement that I read helps: Lysine, red marine algae, kelp, Pau D’arco, echinecea, zinc, probiotic, oregano oil and others the list goes on. So far echinecea, probiotic, oregano oil and mostly red marine algae seems to be the most useful. You can tell because if the tingle is there, taking those ones takes the tingle away a few minutes after consuming.

I went to Planned Parenthood they wrote me a prescription for Acyclovir 400mg 2x a day.

But I still have consistant outbreaks. If I don’t take the meds my skin tingles, it’s like having a misquito live on your skin. So I can’t be without meds. I have not been without an outbreak for an entire year now. The outbreaks are tiny and can be completely covered with makeup most of the time, I get one or two at a time. They go away after a week or so. But there’s always atleast one there.
They are triggered by the sun mostly, eating sugar creates a tingle fast above my lips. I love the sun, torture.

TOPICALLY I have tried everything I’ve read about: Rubbing alcohol, toothpast (burnt my skin), “Coldsore Begone” not much… Tea Tree oil works great to dry up fast.. then I tried zovirax cream that I ordered on Ebay, came from England where it doesn’t need prescription, that works but mildly. Clearisil acne cream works to bleach out/dry out but leaves really red marks.

I just recently read these posts and ordered Curasore tried it today and fingers crossed it works for me! Another supplement I found is LAURICIDIN “the original Monolarin” I’ve read that people taking this have stopped outbreaks and stopping meds. Fingers crossed!

Update:

Two simple things I am doing that works excellently:

1. I applied Curasore or Ether on my lips immediately I got that tingly feeling. I applied it several times a day with cotton swap. It stopped the sore dead on its tracks, it did not break out. You can Google Curasore or find Ether in auto parts stores, all under $5.00. Do not lick your lips for at least 30 minutes after application.

2. I swallow 500mg of Olive Leaf Extract supplements daily. Olive leaf extract is 400% more powerful than vitamin C as immune booster. Make sure it has at least 15% of Oleuropein, its active ingredient. I also swallow 1000mg of Lysine daily. Olive leaf extract is way cheaper online than in your local stores. I bought a giant bottle containing 300 pills to last a year, all for $28.00.

I used to average 1 – 2 breakouts per month, but since I started on Olive leaf extract and Lysine supplements I have been completely free for three months now. Most importantly, I can feel in my body that the ugly sores will never return.

Read the short book titled “Olive Leaf Extract” by Dr. Morton Walker to discover the power of this supplement as a natural remedy for numerous ailments, including HIV1.

Good luck folks.

Hello I have had this for 28 yrs my mother gave it to me as a baby from kissing me and I have suffered some aweful out breaks my lips and face are scars and there are times that my top bottom and chin under my nose and sides of my face are covered in painful ungly sores I have found nothing works for me. I just stay inside untill the finnly heal. I pray that they do find a cure for this nasty life consumming germ. I have tried every remedy there is out there and no help so the only thing I can do is try to dry them up as quickly as I can. This sounds nasty but its free and does help EAR WAX yes I said ear wax. As soon as I feel the tinggly little joker coming up I start and applyin it keeps them down to a min and clears them up 2xs quicker then any of that over the counter junk.for the scaring I apply a 16 to 24 hr wear lip gloss or color but I use a new q-tip each time I apply it. Thank you all fo sharing and like each and everyone here I also feel ur pain and pray they come out with a cure because this is depressing and shameful. Best wishes to you all.
