Treatment Advice - Any expert posters? - Herpes Message Board

I've been living with H for a year now, and still feel hopeless that my life will ever feel normal again. Even when I'm not having an OB, I still have itching and sometimes a slight burning where the sores were. Sex is painful at first and is always followed by swelling and an OB. Unfortunately, Valtrex seems to do very little for me. I tried daily Acyclovir treatments combined with lysine supplements and that did help, but I started suffering hair loss which was apparently from the Acyclovir.

(a rare side affect)

I've read about people trying the H202 treatments and I've tried to understand the process from reading on-line, but am still a little apprehensive about giving it a try. Anyone have a site that outlines the process in a very detailed manner? Or - any other ideas that I may have overlooked?

Any advice/tips will be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I might be able to be of assistance to you regarding H2O2 oral treatments. I am currently finishing my 5th week of this treatment. Instead of my writing out everything I do and how to do it ALL over again, you should put my name (Oceanus) in the search engine above and read the recent posts I've written on the subject. One such title is "Herpes, who can help." It's a very involved, and time-consuming treatment that you must fully devote yourself to for at least 6 weeks. I drink a heavily diluted amount of food grade H2O2 twice a day on an EMPTY stomach. I will continue to do this for at least another week, possibly more depending on when I feel ALL my symptoms have subsided. Like you, I suffer with daily irritation and itchiness so when these symptoms completely resolve then I'll know that the treatment has really worked. Currently I am having more symptoms than normal because the virus is on the run out of hiding so is making me have horrible outbreaks, but this is normal and a good sign. It's called a healing crisis. It means the virus is being killed off and hopefully I will be able to permanently exterminate it.

If you do a search online for specifics on this treatment you can find a lot of information, much of it says the same thing. Just do a search for hydrogen peroxide therapy, and you should easily find what you're looking for.

I'm currently have OBs in areas I don't normally have them (buttocks, leg, and upper back), plus in areas I do (genitals). I do have confidence that the more pain I'm in now will save me from pain down the road. Feel free to ask me more specifics once you've read up on it.

Once you've completed your 6th week, will you be posting your results (I presume so)? Since you've had the same daily irritation, I might wait to see how affective this therapy is for you.
