    My heart goes out to you...
    L-Lysine! 2000-3000mg/day! Don't stop! Mayo Clinic has proven it helps with herpes and with shingles. Herpes and shingles are different but the viruses that cause them are in the same viral subfamily-Alphaherpesvirinae. Don't wait until you have an outbreak...take the L-Lysine everyday.
    Find a way to cut the stress level down if at all possible. Find some peace of mind and take the L-Lysine! ...did I mention L-Lysine? I will keep you in my prayers.
    Don't cross the river if you can swim the tide...

    While I don't have herpes, I do have type one diabetes that has caused some skin integrity problems. I am prone to boils and sores that can make riding incredibly painful. I can ride one day and within a few hours find the start of a skin boil.

    I use Hoo Haa Ride Glide and that has helped immensely. Ride Glide has antimicrobial ingredients that seem to help. That and antibiotic cream all over my backside has stopped any problems. Buy the best riding shorts with the best chamois you can afford.
