About laser skin treatment and HSV-1 and HSV-2 risk. I've never had an outbreak in my life and am not sure if I have it. I've heard that the majority of the population has HSV-1. How can I make sure I don't have it before the laser? The tests are not accurate, as per my knowledge. Is it true that the blood test is not accurate and there are a lot of false negatives and positives? Is there a medicine I can take to prevent it just in case I do have it? Also, if I got the laser and have an outbreak, is the outbreak treatable without scars?

I have been experiencing twitching, cramps, and muscle pain, along with intermittent throat and stomach issues for the past year. The symptoms have been alleviated somewhat by taking B12 vitamins, but the issues persist. Could these symptoms be related, and what further steps should I take to address them?

I am considering using LiveO2 sessions to address PAWS (Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) due to their lower cost compared to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). I am experiencing sleep issues, anxiety, and difficulty feeling tired even at unusual hours. I am unsure if this is due to PAWS or life stress. How should I approach this situation, and what is your opinion on the effectiveness of LiveO2 versus HBOT for PAWS?

I might have high blood pressure, but I have no symptoms like dizziness. My last reading was 160/90, and I was prescribed amLODIPine, but I haven't started it yet. Are there any non-medication approaches I can try before starting medication?
