Question:
I cannot believe that I have not had an outbreak. My initial outbreak happened in November 2006 and I had up until about a month and a half ago. However, for the past several weeks, I have been symptom free. I have not experienced any tingling, burning, or bumps/lesions. That is definitely some encouraging news. I was starting to think that I would have an outbreak for the rest of my life. I guess my body has gotten adjusted to it and not to mention that I am definitely not as stressed as I was. This is very uplifting!

Answer:
I, for one, am thrilled to hear some encouraging news for a change. I hope you continue to be free of symptoms. By the way, are you from Houston, Texas. All the best. ms.

Answer:
Stay strong support1 and positive!!!! This IS encouraging news and I hope it sheds some light for other newbies that while things are rough at first, they can and do get better. Having herpes ALWAYS sucks, but it does dissipitate over time.

Hope you are eating well, taking the vitamins and loving yourself. I firmly believe these three things are KEY in our personal fight against herpes.

Answer:
I had SEVEN outbreaks in Jan and Feb. Then NOTHING for a full month. I then got all the symptoms for about 3 days then a VERY MILD outbreak.

I am HOPING that things will reduce in frequency and severity (actually they've always been mild - touching wood as I'm typing!!!)

Answer:
Over the time the body produces more antibodies and the frequency and severity of ob decreases.
