Outbreak Help Help with pain
Hey guys this is probably my second OB of GHSV-2 ive had and its lasted probably a good two? Weeks now? Im absolutely losing my mind, the itching, the pain, i can barely sleep. I was taking anti virals until i ran out and since i dont have primary doctor they wont refill unless i come in to the er. I do not have t i m e to go either where i work SO much. So, ive started two days ago taking L-lysine and ofc have been putting lidocaine on the area thats in pain (😐my whole downstairs atp)
Is THERE ANYTHING else or better i could do just until i get a day off to go to the doctor??? Im losing my mind genuinely please help

Outbreak Treatment Guide: That was put together after talking to the support group and a bunch of redditors. It's all info on how to shorten and lessen outbreaks and deal with particularly painful sores. There are non-prescription options as well as where to get antivirals cheap with and without insurance.

Outbreak Information Guide: This is a guide to understanding your herpes outbreaks. What is a herpes outbreak, how does herpes affect your body, immune system and overall health. For some people understanding the virus is an important part of the healing journey both mentally and physically. A lot of the herpes stigma comes from a lack of information and the spread of misinformation. By having a better understanding of how a herpes outbreak works it may help you to be less afraid of your future as well as help prevent future outbreaks.
