Re: Herpes (again)
My ex had the same condition. His outbreaks were typically caused by stress, and sometimes due to being run down. Work pressure or relationship stress was most often the cause. However, he also traveled for work and would often work extremely long hours during the day and stay out with his co-workers until all hours. A few days or a week or more of this and he usually came home broken out.
Lysine is a common preventative, and I believe that he said that when he took it regularly he felt that he didn't break out as often. You can pick this up at the health food store. Also, I've heard DHT is good. [Please don't take my word for it. Everyone is different.]
My ex also had a prescription that would clear up his outbreaks much faster - especially if he started taking it right when he felt the outbreak coming on. There are also medications that can be taken on a daily basis as a preventative.
You can live with this; we did. My belief is that his overall health and how he takes care of himself (diet, exercise, stress management) are important considerations in regard to this issue.
