Question:
Ever since my doc told me I have H, due to my IGM coming back "Detected", I've been having some leg ache symptoms.

Even though I question the test because I've read that IGM tests are not reliable, the test was done about 14 weeks post exposure, and the IGG's were negative...I'm still freaking out.

I did have some leg ache sensation in early Jan, but they stopped when I got my first test results (IGM and IGG negative). Regardless, I continued the supplement regime.

Since Jan 6 (right before my first test which came back IGM and IGG Negative), I've been taking 2000 mg's of Lysine, garlic, echinechea with golden seal, multivitamin, and vitamin C daily. For the past several days, I've upped the Lysine to 3000mg's/day. I've also been injesting lots of water like Pilot recommended.

Plus, I'm on my third day of Valtrex and I still have this mild ache in my calf muscles. It doesn't hurt or tingle, but they feel mildly tired for some reason.

Can someone please help? Nothing seems to be working, I'm frustrated, confused, and depressed.

Thats exactly what your problem is... Theres a good chance you dont even have HSV-2, but because these tests, which I dont agree with came back positive, it got your brain all fucked up and worried again... Get that stuff outta your head, go work out, relieve yourself of this excessive stress and your leg pain will melt way... If you have any real symtoms let your doctor know, have you even had an outbreak???

Answer:
My question exactly, ever had an outbreak? Definate exposure? Even if you were exposed, it doesn't mean you got it - if the only symptom you have is aches - I agree, go to the gym.... get some fresh air... have a huge glass of wine....relax.

You will kill yourself with worry.

If you have had outbreaks on the other hand....
go to the gym.... get some fresh air... have a huge glass of wine....relax. Nothin you can do but live with it - so start now.

Good luck finding that peace of mind....

Answer:
Ok, I'm lining up in the RELAX camp here.

You've never had an outbreak, but you are taking Valtrex? WHY?

Why pump chemicals into your body you may not need?

Ever since my doc told me I have H, due to my IGM coming back "Detected", I've been having some leg ache symptoms. Read what you wrote... "Ever since your doc told you"

Think about it? Isn't it just a huge coincidence that you didn't notice any leg ache symptoms until your doctor told you that you had H?

Echoing Faith and Rich... Relax... Get some regular exercise... drink a beer.... smile....

Answer:

Answer:
