Q: Outbreak after 10 years dormant. Why? What can I do? Will it go dormant again? Breastfeeding?

My herpes has been dormant for over 10 years recently I started to have flu like symptoms and then the lip tingle and throat sores, just like my first outbreak 16 years ago.

 

Why did it come back after all this time? Will it become dormant again if I take Valtrex and lysine daily?

 

How can I prevent infecting my two small children, do I have to stop nursing my baby.

 

I am totally overwhelmed, I thought it was gone for good.

Based on my experience, it has something to do with our general health. The healthier we keep ourselves, the stronger our immune systems, and the less likely we are to have a herpes episode. As for the treatment, I usually use HSV-Zero because it has all natural ingredients. To prevent our babies contacting the virus, I suggest you to go to http://hsv-std.blogspot.com/2012/02/about-5-percent-of-cases-of-newborn.html .
