My first outbreak was also diagnosed as herpes. Which caused quite a bit of turmoil in my marriage. I had been married for about 3 years when I had my first outbreak and my family doctor turned and looked at my husband and asked him what did you do to this girl. Oh my how awful this was for us both. We were both questioning the faithfulness of each other. Then I was told about my family health history. Several people on my grandmother's side had HHD. My next breakout was about a year later which was extremely severe. I went to the hospital and a OBGYN was sent in to evaluate the situation and again diagnosed my with herpes. I was so upset that they also had a wound care specialist come speak to me. When I tried to explain to all the doctors involved none had never heard of HHD. Fortunately the wound care doctor was willing to listen to me. Awhile later he came back did a biopsy and confirmed that it was indeed HHD. I was given a cream to try to give me some relief. Also was given prednisone. After years of battling this disease it seems nothing really works much. I have also done the botox injection. Hopefully one day we may all find relief.
Hi @skrammy, welcome. I'm glad that low-dose naltrexone is helping you manage Hailey-Hailey. Is the naltrexone causing the insomnia and vivid dreams?
