Valaciclovir is magic. I use the 1G tablet whenever I feel the tingles.
Between that, routine vitamins, and habitual chapstick use I haven’t had a bad outbreak for almost a decade. Before that I’d get one like every other month it seemed.
- i_have_an_idea 4y agoI used to get more outbreaks when I was in a worse physical shape (overweight, little exercise). Then it was maybe one every 2 months. Now I'm in the normal BMI range and I exercise regularly (albeit not to a high level) and my outbreaks are 2 times a year. Valaciclovir definitely helps, but one's own immune system plays a huge role. After all, most people in the world have that virus, few actually get outbreaks.
