cf and herpes

[anonymous]

Does anyone have herpes along with their cf? I was just recently diagnosed with it ( herpes) and was wondering if anyone could giv me info on how it has affected your cf or if it has any effct on your cf at all. Im new to all this and am hoping someone can give me advice. The doctor says it should have any effect on my cf and i am hoping someone who has both could let me know that its true. thanks in advance for any info.

I have had mouth sores, or cold sores since I was a kid, and then when I got older developed vaginal herpes, by the way, for some reason, have been outbreak free for a couple of years. But no, I havent noticed it affect my CF at all. I dont think you have anything to worry about<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I don't have herpes but I do have HPV, genital warts. Yeah, real nice. But it's no big deal with CF. I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one dealing with stuff like this. It's so personal and at times I feel totally alone.

Just thought I'd clarify something real quick. HPV does not alway equate to genital warts. It can go hand in hand, but not always. In fact, most times, it doesn't. HPV (human papilloma virus) usually causes absolutely no problems for males. And the only main cause it has for females (I say only because it's just one, but it's a big one) is cervical cancer.

I used to get cold sores/herpes on my mouth so bad at times, 2 and 3 on my lips at a time. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
I noticed I would get them after a high fever or lung infection. My doctors perscribed me Valtrex, which is known for gential herpes. I started taking that when I noticed a tingle on my mouth and the cold sore would hardly grow at all. I have not had a cold sore for more than a year now, that is the only thing that has worked for me personally. It didn't affect my CF at all that I am aware of...

The longer you have herpes the fewer outbreaks you'll get, that's been true for me anyway. The only thing that I notice is aches right before an outbreak which sometimes I confuse with my arthritis flaring up.
