Well I just got the bad news on the phone a few days ago. I have hsv 2. I can't help it but feel a little depressed about it. My symptoms are FINALLY gone after 4 weeks of pain and I really don't want to go through that again. I'm currently taking OOO, OLE, 1000mg lysine, vitamins, and probiotics. I also eat farely healthy.. always have. Does anyone here have hsv 2 and have success with herbal remedies ? I'm so paranoid about getting another outbreak that I'm afraid to have any kind of sex again. I'm also afraid of having oral because i might get it orally. Did anyone go through that?

Hi buttonnose,
Sorry about your diagnosis. I'm glad that you're symptoms finally went away, hopefully if reoccurs it won't be nearly as bad.
As far as remedies, someone did a thread on that very recently.... I think it has the work "cocktail" in the title..... it's about people's different combos of vitamins, herbs, etc. I'll look for it and bump it up. Somepeople here use prescription meds, some only herbals and some people find a combo works well.
I find that my cocktail of strictly vitamins and herbs works pretty well, I've started being able to avoid my period-related OBs, which used to be every single month, so I consider that a HUGE success. I outlined my suppliments on the thread that I mentioned as did some other people. Also, search all over this board and you'll find lots of suggestions as far as combos, dosages, etc. We're not doctors, but I find that the combined experience on this board is incredibly helpful in trying to find things that actually work in controlling this virus.
