Why can't this be treated?  Herpes / hair loss
Constant herpes lesions, not squelched by acylovir/zovirax.
Echocardiology: 11,000 pvcs in 24 hrs
endocrinology: all tests normal
gastroenterology: colonoscopy good with some lower diverticulosis
                         gastropophy  all okay  some erosion of esophagus (reflux?)
                         contrast dye ct scan of abdomen and chest - all fine.
 
Urgent care:     Blood tests showed "ragged red cells"  3 weeks doxycycline
 
4 months later - severe outbreaks of herpes
                       rushes of body heat / scalp goes on fire then itches and hair loss
                       is diffuse but extreme. Very extreme.
                       brain fog is scary.  Hypersensitve.  Emotional. Depressed. Irritable.
                       Losing sleep, wandering in circles, dizzy at times and developed
                       hissing in my ears. Body aches and pains.
 
Current meds:    verapamil / triamterene / clonazepam
                       All very small amounts 
 
 
Now trying alternative remedies.  Some sucess with lessening the heat, itching still persists along with all other issues.

Hello Rosy-Not

You sound in a very distressed state.
 
Without taking a patient history you sound as if you could be suffering from some sort of chemical poisoning. Could you have any mercury leaking into your system?
Have you had your house painted or new carpet? Have a big think about changes made in your environment over the last period of time. I would recommend you get as many chemicals out of your life as possible.

First of all lysine is excellent for herpes. If you are having a constant battle with these I would take Lysine until you are clear for a week. Then take again the moment you feel they are coming back. If they do not appear you only need to take for lysine for 24 hours at the time. Never be without them on you – lysine, that is. (Your good luck that Lysine is not expensive). Until you are clear, stay away from the arginine group of foods ie cheese and chocolate. (Keep a note for yourself if these foods precipitate a break out).

It sounds as if your liver needs support. lef.org has some very good liver supplements. Hepatopro is a heavy duty liver support, but the others are good as well.

Fish oils are good for mood, memory, hormones, joints and skin.

The lef customer service will give members very good advice. (not sure about non members thou.)

Best wishes in your endeavours.
FP

Thanks! No new anything that I can think of. Did buy lysine and am working with that. Very good about not having toxic cleaners or anything in the house. No silver in my mouth..........?  Will look at the liver product you named and get some.  Probably something for the depression that I feel setting in too!  Thanks again!

Think Liver, Liver, Liver. (Can help with sleep problems and well as hormones and detox).

Very high dose of fish oils for six weeks then lower dose. Fish oils will help with mood, skin (and all other systems as above).   I think you are on the right tract to get additional support for mood.
Being low/depressed can case inflammation of nerves/ nervous systems (ie skin on fire).

Do what ever it takes to get a good night sleep - MOST IMPORTANT. Have you tried melatonin? If female 300 mcg may make the difference. Start low then increase every night until desired results - get a blast of sunlight in your eyes first thing in morning to help shift any fog. If male follow directions on label.

Keep us posted on progress.

BHT has been well documented as an effective treatment for herpes [genital and non-genital]. But from the symptoms you elaborated on it seems to me there may be something else wrong with you also. ...Syntax

Latest.
Ever heard of drug induced hypersensitivity syndrome? (DRESS) AND HERPES?
Dermotologist says I have an immune system rampant. Lymphocytes are attacking my hair follicles.
Got a shot of steroid to calm this down. Now referred to Rheumotology for the myriad of problems that have cropped up since I posted back in September. This turned into a real nightmare. Can barely walk on my feet they hurt so bad. My whole spine, fronts of my thighs, chest wall....
Everything appears to have been affected?
Have appt. soon. Hoping to get a direction to go in.
Steroid, helped a lot but, probably short lived?
The immune system is extremely complex.
Want answers, something to work on. Need to get involved in Physical Therapy to reduce the spasticity in my legs, back, neck......
Need to be able to walk again without pain, tremors, twitches...
When I can I will be enlisting LEF. My goal is to build up what's here and get off whatever chemicals I can.
We'll see ( I hope), if I have an itis, a tosis, or whatever ....... THANKS!! I'll be back!
Praying for a decent outcome....
