Question:
I used to have outbreaks everytime I got stressed out.
All I can really suggest is that you try some relaxation techniques.
You know, breathing exercises, etc.
Can someone help me reduce stress ?
Answer:
How about meditation, deep breathing exercises, taichi, yoga, just to
name a few?
Have you eliminated any other reason for having outbreaks? Like less than
ideal diet, lack of exercise, lack of enough sleep, etc? If so, then is it
impossible to get rid of some of the stress? Or maybe, learning how to more
effectively deal with stress would help--so possibly take a class or read some
books addressing that aspect.
Have you tried suppressive prescription antivirals? They can do wonders until
you're able to handle stress better, or better yet, get rid of it on a regular
basis. Check that out with your doc--the meds were invented to reduce the
frequency and/or severity of our outbreaks, so why not use them for this?
