>>I thought Type 1 wasnt supposed to recur but 1 time every other year?

I have type 1 genital and trust me it was really bad when I was having some
big outbreaks earlier on. Right now I get about 4-5 outbreaks a year,
sometimes more if I am under stress and that usually how I am most of the
time!

>>Valtrex made my tummy ache and my hair start thinning
>

I had headache and dizzyness from Valtrex, no stomach problems, but everyone
is different.


>>Do things "down there" ever go back to normal?
>
Yes, but sometimes you might get just the tingles and no outbreak like I do
quite often.


>>Are there people who have type 1 and it never STOPS?

Well I can tell you that mine took a long time to wane, but it eventually
does. On average, about 1-2 years.

>>Do you guys just live with some degree of tingliness?
>>Or do I have herpatic neuropathy? I think that is what its called.
>>I have leg pain at time.

I get tingliness from time to time, not as many outbreaks. My tingliness
feels like little needle like pinches in the inner thighs.. I get the leg
pain also. This feels like a burning ache going down one leg and around the
knee. Sometimes I get leg pain that lasts 2-3 days.


>>Btw, I broke my tailbone 4 years ago, I know herpes lives in the base
>>of the spine, is it possible that the broken tailbone is preventing it
>>from fully retreating? Like always in limbo?

I don't think so. Herpes comes out during stress, illness, fatigue, maybe
certain foods. Its in the lower spinal nerves.
