Re: Swollen lymph nodes part of dexto reaction/herxheimer reaction ?

Hello David :)

I got tested several times for HIV and I was not infected.
This is not an hepatitis or syphilis either so I very am glad.
However I know I contracted a STD.
I know it is herpes type 1 or gladiatorum herpes.

It could have happen because I started Mixed Martial Arts earlier this year, which involved a lot wrestling on dirty mats that are never cleaned. I also used equipments that the club lend to its members, such as gloves and shin guards.
Also my first outbreak happened on my chest and back and "preferably" keeps on coming out on these body parts.

I could also have acquired herpes type 1 or gladiatorum because I have been intimate with a MMA instructor (not mine though ^^).

In my first post, I mentioned a "tingling/prickling sensation" in my upper body. This is what one is supposed to feel before an outbreak of herpes. And as a matter of fact about 6 weeks after my sexual encounter I started to develop itchy ulcers on my back and breasts (well more like upper chest,I don't have ulcers on my breasts) and swollen lymph nodes. Those pea sized swollen lymph nodes haven't disappeared, I think they are here to stay :/ You can't see them, but I can feel them rolling under my fingers.

But I also started having small ulcers on my mouth, tiny, very discreet ones. Did my gladiatorum herpes migrated ? Or is this Herpes type 1 ? Only a blood test will tell. I won't go for a culture as they are less reliable.
At least, in my misfortune, I have mild symptoms even though the primary infection was scary.

I keep my herpes at bay thanks to:
-olive leaf extract (brand Solaray)
-cats claw (brand Nature's way)
-vitamin C, as you recommended
-selenium methylselenocysteine (brand: Jarrow) which is highly potent. There are two forms of selenium and this kind is the one one should use. It is very potent in stopping replication of viruses that hijack cells and replication of anomalous cells. That is why selenium is very beneficial for HIV+ people and people with cancer. Cancer patients had great results with selenium that helped decrease the size of tumors. But it is important to use Se-methylselenocysteine as the other form doesn't show any anti cancer activity properties and might cause skin cancer.
Since I started using selenium my nerve neuralgia almost disappeared :)
-Finally I use apple cider vinegar. I dab it on my ulcers and it promotes scabbing. Also, I dab it on my lips, it is burning a lot, but in 4 to 6 hours the ulcers are gone.

I will post my home remedies in the Herpes section but also wanted to share here.
Once again, thank you for your advice and support when I thought that the worst had happened.
