Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

For those who have genital herpes, how do you deal with it? I've been diagnosed 4 years ago and i still can't accept it! At the time the guy who had it and i got checked before engaging in unprotected sex but they don't necessarily check for herpes.
How did you accept it and how to live with the shame of having to tell a new partner? (link)

These items can help you control outbreaks.
L-Lysine - taken every day on an empty stomach. Early in AM. 500 mg every day. don't eat or drink for 1/2 hour. Allowing it time to disolve. If you have an outbreak, increase L Lysine intact to 1500 mg. which you can take three or four times a day, always on a empty stomach. It will minimize the outbreak and how long it lasts.
Also buy some BHT. It also is a food supplement that is sold as a perservative. Somehow the preservative can penetrate the herpese virus and render it dormant. Take one every day. Drink lots of water. Dehydration can bring on outbreaks. So stay hydrated. Not just fluids, WATER. Stress can also bring on outbreaks. Just be aware of that.
To minimize pain, you can try hot, hot water, and/or apple cider vinegar, as hot as you can stand it, directly on to the sore. It will hurt, for those few minutes, but you'll be pain free for hours aftewards.
go to this site where you can find these same remedies. www.earthclinic.com
All of the advice that the other person gave is also true, especially the part about getting pregnant. You must tell your doctor that you have herpes when you are pregnant. You may not have an outbreak during pregnancy, but the doctor has to watch for it, and whether or not you have a normal delivery or C-section will be determined by whether or not you have an outbreak at the time of delivery.
Good luck to you dear.
Michele
