@Mij a year is a long time. I hope the blackseed oil helps. does vit c help? i take alot of that. how come so long to see the dr? I hope you can feel better soon.
@Daffodil i tried the Valtrex and it made me depressed- so i decided to go back to the acyclovair, i had good success with that in the beginning 2011.. i think..hard to remember. but i was more active then in any case so i am using that as a guide- or it could be i just wasn't as sick then.
I also have a chinese dr that is giving me some herbs he said he has worked with this alot and seen folks get better after about a year.
Hi @cb2 - I've been taking the OLE for about 12 weeks (haven't kept track). I tried another brand a few years ago which did nothing for me, but I think this one is a pretty good product. I haven't had any negative side effects. My EBV numbers are okay, but it's the HSV I was concerned about and I'm having fewer cold sores.
No crash or herx with the OLE, fortunately@Mary - did you experience any crash or herx w olive leaf extract? how long did it take for it to pass?
I got extremely depressed from valtrex!is depression a common side effect of valtrex?
