The bugs we carry and how our immune system fights them
The most familiar are
herpes
viruses, like those that cause cold sores (H. simplex) and shingles (H. zoster). Both viruses hide out in the nervous system and are normally under immune control.

herpes
....i don’t know which type yet. Before last week I hadn’t had sex for nearly two years, this is not the best welcome back to the world of intimacy. I have been given Acyclovir for 5 days and i’m Due back at the clinic next week.

Could this be herpes?
Do you think these muscle aches could be due to nerve related
herpes
symptoms? 2. Does my sore look
herpes
related? Sorry if this sounds ridiculous. I've always suffered from very bad healthy anxiety and OCD, so any sort of reassurance or information would be greatly appreciated.

Given my boyfriend herpes
20 and my boyfriend is 25 I’ve had
herpes
for about 2 years - I’ve only had the first outbreak and then a small one about 6 months later- so for about a year and a half I’ve not experienced anything and hardly thought of it.

RLS Help, no drugs
Turns out, dairy is very high in lysine, which limits the HSV-1 (or HSV-2), oral
herpes
, virus. I had changed to eating a lot of nuts, which are very high in arginine, which the virus loves.

How common are 'ulcers that are not exactly ulcers'?
My dermathologist is perhaps the person in Denmark, that has the greatest experience in the matter of

Shingrix shingles vaccine approved by FDA
I had chicken pox at 18 months, and
Herpes
Zoster at age 22 in my middle ear. So I know it is lurking.....I had the older vaccine when it came out, but I suspect I'm susceptible.

What are these sores?
I have had 6 swab tests for
herpes
at the time of an outbreak - ALL ARE NEGATIVE. after a year of having symptoms I had an IGG test for HSV 1 and HSV 2 and both were negative (HSV1 0.1 and HSV2 0.5). Is there any chance it could still be
herpes
?

Becoming an introvert after VM?
But after the culture came back in the morning they said VM and encephalitis from
herpes
1, the cold sore virus. Apparently only 1 in 500,000 have that happen. Later they determined only VM as I didn’t present with more symptoms. I was on IV for ten days in the hosptal with Acyclovir.

Newbie... diagnosed with CFS in 2015, seen lots of ‘ologists... but think it’s thyroid related. Help!
Being stressed did lower my immune system and brought on
herpes
virus/ fatigue. Even though I’m not working, I’m still tired all the time. I have trouble sleeping and have been prescribed Mirtazapine (after a long line of other antidepressants!)

Question regarding OCD and STIs
I observed them around 7 hours after the hookup, and most online resources say
herpes
cannot develop that quickly.

Redness/Irritation around rectum
As such I had convinced myself that I had contracted an STD so I went to a walk-in clinic and the doctor took a quick look and told me that this was normal irritation from wiping and that it didn't look like anything STD related (I asked specifically about
herpes
).

Herpes simplex type 1
I'm a 23 yr old female and I've had
herpes
simplex type 1 (genital) for just over a year. I just wanted to get some advice and hear some experiences from others who have this- what triggers your outbreaks? how often do you get outbreaks? have the number of outbreaks decreased over time?

herpes
