I have been neglecting my journal...
Work is finally busy, and my personal life is filling up quick. It is hard to juggle my time... *evil smile
I have been doing well lately. The tingle comes and goes. I had the tingle yesterday, and today it went away. I know that LOVE, who tested NEGATIVE after using Resolve said that she had the tingles even after completing Resolve. She woke up on the 41st day and noticed that the tingles were gone... they never came back. I am praying that this is the case for me. I have several ladies lined up... but I do want to be clear that I have learned my lesson!!!
So, besides the occasional tingle, I am doing well. I do want to point something out, which may have nothing to do with Resolve. This week was my first period since Resolve. I had it the very last week of Resolve, but this is my first true period since. I had the worse cramps ever!!! I was so exhausted and moody 2 weeks before my period, and that lasted until the second day after I started. I have never experienced a period like that before. I hope this does not continue going forward.
If my tingle goes away for multiple days at a time, I will be testing on March 9th, which is 45 days post Resolve. I will then test again 90 days post Resolve, whether I test POSITIVE or NEGATIVE.
I hope everyone is doing well. I truly believe that Resolve will work if you have had HSV less than a year.

25 Days Post Resolve
Just stopping by to update my journal now that I am 25 days post Resolve. My tingly is gone!!! I can still feel where the tingle was, but it is not tingling anymore... if that makes any sense. I am hoping that in another week or so I will not be able to tell where the tingle once was. This is great news, because I had that continuous tingle for months. If you follow my journal you will know that I believe it was nerve damage where I was infected with HSV. I emailed Resolve about it and they believe the same thing.
The rash on my top lip must have been the Mango allergic reaction because it went away and I have not had any issues thus far. No more Mango's for me!!!
I feel great... No symptoms at all!!!
I want to mention that someone who tested 90 days post Resolve just took her blood test and she is now NEGATIVE... this is major news!!! I am so excited for her and now have hope. Here is her Pin in case your curious:

Pin Number: 442192-9245558
I will continue to update my progress as necessary, or if anything new occurs. I will be taking a 45 day post Resolve test on March 9th, and then again 90 days post Resolve.

17 Days Post Resolve
Sorry that I have not posted in a while, I have been a little emotional the past few days dealing with having HSV2. I guess it never hit me until I tested POSITIVE again the other day. I know that the test was right after Step 3, but I guess I had a little faith that since my numbers were originally low that maybe it was a false positive.
Last week I had another rash on my top lip. This was the second time that I had this same rash on my top lip, and each time was after eating a Mango the night before. Techie did some research and I followed up with what she provided me with and it turns out that the Mango's skin is in the same family as Poison. I was highly allergic to Poison when I was little. I remember I had it so bad one time that I couldn't walk. I had it between my thighs and all over my forearms. After reading this article, and there are many others out there, I was surprised to know that I am allergic to the one fruit that I love. I never ate fresh Mango's before. I usually get it in a drink format. These two instances were the first time that I ever ate fresh Mangos. In brief, anyone allergic to poison should avoid Mangos. Here are two interesting articles if your curious:

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Aug/26/il/FP508260316.html
So besides the rash, and let me say that I am so happy that I know what is causing it, I am doing OK. I still have the minor tingle. I will say that each day the tingle fades. I really hope that this means that the nerve damage from the site of infection is being repaired, so Resolve told me.
I have started back with martial arts, and have been jogging a lot. I am trying to get my body back into shape and pray that Resolve cures me. As I stated earlier, I have been an emotional wreck lately, which is so not like me. It is so hard to try to not let H define me and live a normal life, but in reality, how can you date and try to live a normal life when you know that you cannot have sex with the person. It seems like a waste of time to me. I had to breakup with a really nice girl last night, I just met her and really started to like her, but she wanted to have sex and what am I suppose to do? I had to play the role of I want to wait until the right time. Well, sorry to say, some people find that rather annoying. I ended it with her because I do not want to deal with finding new excuses everyday.
Anyway, that is pretty much it for my updates. Just hoping the tingle goes away and my life returns to normal. I have truly grown up since having H...

7 Days Post Resolve
Well, my tests came back this morning... good news is that Resolve did not spread. I did not have HSV1 before Resolve, and I do not have HSV1 now. I was so worried about Resolve spreading H, especially after that rash on my lips. Also, I have been doing a lot of kissing lately, so I am relieved that I do not have HSV1.
The bad news is that I still have HSV2, which was expected. My numbers did not go over 5, which is good, I guess. We are still unsure of how the antibodies test works, so I guess that is good. I originally tested in October at 1.70 for HSV2, and today a week after Resolve my number is 2.41.
I feel a little depressed, but I expected that I would test Positive since it has only been a week post Resolve. I guess I had a little hope deep inside that I was cured already. I still have the tingle, and I am not sure if it is a damaged nerve... I hope Resolve is not a scam.
I will test again 45 days post Resolve.

5 Days Post Resolve
Anyone miss me? LOL
Well, nothing new to report. My body is beginning to adjust to no more Resolve. I still have a slight runny nose, but that could be because it is winter time. I still get slight headaches here and there, but nothing major. No more nausea, yeahhh!!!
I still have that tingle on the spot where I was infected with H. It never goes away, since I was infected. I think it is nerve damage, but I am not 100% sure. I never get any bumps or blisters or anything. When I was infected with H I got a boil. The only OB I ever had was then. I can see a little spot where the boil was. That spot is where I get a constant tingle. Wish I could fix that. Maybe I still have H and Resolve did not work, or maybe it is just nerve damage.
Other than that... nothing new to report. I do want to share my ironic experience today...
I decided to test this afternoon to see where my numbers are after completing Resolve. As I said a million time, I was just infected with HSV2 around July 08' and tested at 1.70. I am expecting my number to be > 5, but am curious what Resolve did to me. We are all still not 100% sure how the antibody test works, but all agree it will most likely be > 5. With this said, I never been to this test center before, but I know around about where it is located.
So, I arrive at the test center and my heart starts pounding.. how MF ironic, it is at the same place where the girl who infected me works at. The building is huge, but she works in the same building. For one, how ironic that I am testing for H and it is where she works... the girl who infected me. For two, what memories there, picking her up for lunch and stuff.
Moving on, so it gets even more uncomfortable for me. When I scheduled the appointment with tstd you have to give a name, but it can be any name. So, Fighter decided... let me use that ^#%&%#*&@ name since she infected me. Oh yes, I get in the building and give her my ex g/f's name who works in the same building. My heart is pounding as I hope that the lady does not know my ex g/f. LOL So the lady says wow that is a really pretty name. I am thinking errrrr just test me dammit. I hate the girl who infected me, so shut up with telling me how pretty her name is. Then she goes on to tell me she is 4 months pregnant and is going to name her baby the same name. ROFLMAO
OK, so I test... yes Techie I tested dammit!!! As I finish testing I run out of the building making sure I do not run into my ex g/f. If I did, I dunno what I would do. Much anger!!!
So, I am driving to work, and I have so many projects due, so I do not have time for anything but to get to work. Someone above was trying to tell me something today... yes, some *&*&%$ runs a red light and hits me. Luckily I was paying attention and slammed my breaks on and only tapped her. If I wasn't paying attention, texting like I always do usually, I would have hit her going 40mph. Fighter in the hospital!!! I am OK, and my car only has minor scratches, but how ironic is all I can say.
I guess my results will be back Friday, Monday the latest. Let's see what Resolve has done to me... 1.70 to > 5. Let's get some gambling going here. HAHA

Step 3 Day 4 of 4-Day Extension
Yes, you read it right... I just took my FINAL dose of Resolve!!!
I have no more symptoms, but let me mention that I do still have a slight tingle/burn feeling down below. I think I have figured out what it is... thanks to my people in the Hub (techie for one). Well when you detox, your body can release the good bacteria as well as the bad. With this said, you have a chance on getting a yeast infection. When someone does an intense detox, like Resolve, they should consider a Probiotic. I went to Whole Foods after work yesterday and spoke to the guy who works there about it. I told him I am doing a detox and so on and he knew right away what I was talking about and referred a good Probiotic. The kind that I am using is called:
Probiotic Acidophilus by American Health (Blueberry Flavor)
This Probiotic is what someone would use who has Bacteria Vaginosis, which is caused by more bad bacterias than good. When diagnosed in July 08' with HSV2, I was also told that I had that. This Probiotic is like yogurt and has 20 billion organisms per dose (2 tablespoons).
I have taken this last night after dinner, this morning after breakfast, and after dinner tonight. So far I have noticed a big difference. I will continue on for another week just to get my body functioning normally again.
So to sum Step 3 up, here are the symptoms that I had:
1. Severe Diarrhea (up to 6 times per day)
2. Runny nose
3. Extreme nausea
4. Headaches (the first day was the worse headache of my life)
5. Stomach pain (often it would last the entire day)
6. Rash on my top lip (this could have been any toxin or virus leaving my body, or due to the large quantity of mango's that I ate the night before)
7. Bloated (my stomach is like a fat balloon the entire Resolve process)
That is a wrap for Step 3. I am going to test next Tuesday to see what my numbers look like. I will then test again 45 and 90 days from today. Tomorrow I am going to take the day to relax and then will go party at night, that is if I am feeling better. I cannot wait to have a beer again. Step 3 was so bad on my stomach that I have not had a beer at all, and that includes when I was at the bar watching my Eagles play.
I will continue to post updates post Resolve.
I AM DONE WITH RESOLVE... PER RESOLVE, AFTER STEP 3 YOU ARE HERPES FREE... I CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE SEX TOMORROW!!! OK, I AM JUST KIDDING, BUT I WISH. NO MORE HUGE BREAKFAST MEALS AND THAT SICK NAUSEOUS FEELING AFTER TAKING MY MORNING DOSE. WOOHOOOOO I AM HERPES FREE... WELL AT LEAST A WOMAN CAN DREAM!!!
Need one of these...

Step 3 Day 2 of 4-Day Extension
Yes you read the title correct... I am doing the 4 day extension. Let me say that I am doing really well. Yesterday I started the 4 day extension and felt a little nauseous, but not as bad as over the weekend. Today, which is day 2 of the 4 day extension, I feel great. My butt even got a break today. I think all of the toxins and virus is out of my body because I only went 2 times today, versus 4-6 prior to today.
My nauseous is gone, and I feel pretty good. I am still really tired though, but that should change once I finish Resolve.
I do want to add that I still have the burny/tingly down below. Someone posted in the Hub today that it could be the minerals killing all of the good bacteria and causing a yeast infection. I sat and thought about it, and I really think this could be what it is. Like I said before, I have no bumps or anything. Someone suggested that I take a green drink and Acidophiles pills. I am going to buy some tomorrow and try it out. Once I buy it, I will post the brand and so forth.
Yesterday I purchased my HSV test from tstd. I am going to get tested next Tuesday the 27th to see where my numbers are. Here is the link and the pin# for my results:
http://www.tstd.org
PIN: 734302-6808860
Lastly, let me paste what I posted in the Hub, which will be more technical with what I said yesterday about my area down south shrinking:
OK, let me get technical here. When I first got H, I got a boil on my Labia Minora. That is how I knew that she gave me something. I know right where I was infected, and still to this day I can see the little spot where I was infected. Look at the diagram in this photo:
http://www.vacadsci.org/jsr/Fexter.jpg
Sunday my Labia Minora is what shrunk.
That is pretty much it for today. Two more days...
