Avatar n tn There is no pain in my neck or any where else. Therapy has not helped. Am taking 800-1200 mg of Advil and 800 mg of Acyclovir daily, plus Alcum for pain at night. All the doctors so far have said it happens with shingles but not genital or simplex herpes. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/227495'>Herpes Simplex type 1 (genital herpes) ? Postherpetic Neuralgia</a>.
Avatar n tn I have genital HSV1. I use condoms and take daily acyclovir. Recently girlfriend started having more painful menstrual cramps to the point that she has to lay down or double over. Usually for a night and better with advil. I am afraid she may have gotten my HSV1. How likely would that be as safe as we have been.
Avatar f tn Could this be a possibility of white spots on my throat like tonsillitis, red spots on my throat, and swollen lymph nodes?? I stopped taking both tetracycline and the Advil when I seen my throats for the first time.
Avatar f tn It started with prickly pins and needles for about two days in my left leg and rear...which just seemed itchy and uncomfortable. Now the pins & needles have pretty much subsided (have taken Allegra the last two days) and I have a firey pain in my left thigh (backside) and my left hip is very sore and as well as one of the joints in my right hand. The leg/hip issues have been occurring for two days. The pain is enough to wake me up at night.
Avatar m tn My daughter was diagnosed with Behcet's in 2008. Then in 2009 she contracted herpes (hsv2). She is now having an outbreak of herpes (starting to get under control after 2 rounds of valtrex, back on acyclovir for 2 days) and a flare of Behcet's. Prednisone will make the painful vaginal Behcet's lesions go away but will cause another outbreak of herpes. Does anyone have any suggestions? She's about to leave for a required college trip. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I just found out today that I likely have an hsv-1 outbreak most likely from my fiance. He has cold sores and we've managed to avoid any sort of issues until now, but last time we had sex he developed a sore on the membrane in his nose and then a few days later I developed vaginal ulcers. I've had these ulcers/sores for 2 days now and I just started taking acyclovir today, but I'm in a ton of pain and discomfort from swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues. My questions are: 1.
Avatar f tn My doctor was referring to a study wehre Acyclovir slowed disease progression in HIV by reducing viral load. And so he thought Acyclovir might have a direct effect (even if it is low) on HIV. Maybe he thought that by decreasing viral load antybodies would show up later than in the absence of Acyclovir?
Avatar f tn My throat blisters were confirmed HSV2. It's been exactly one week and my throat and lymph nodes are still very sore. Now I'm trying to control the spread between my legs. I'm taking L-lysine and Acyclovir. Is anything more effective in containing the initial outbreak? I'm in so much pain and discomfort. My BF hasn't been tested yet. He still doesn't think he gave it to me.
Avatar n tn Once and awhile I will get a migraine often accompanied with with a scalp breakout and I stop taking the Acyclovir and lysine until the pain goes away. Then I resume my acyclovir and lysine. I now rarely have any problems. But I always have to go a week once and a while without my Acyclovir and Lysine. Is the herpes virus simply one of my triggers or is the herpes virus the root cause off all my migraines, I don't know. The pain and breakouts are always hemispheric in nature.
Avatar f tn advil is a minor anti inflammatory I have never heard of it prescribed for this before but it could help a little I suppose more widely prescribed for GM are some of the big anti inflammatories - particularly prednisone or methotrexate I did take Naproxen for some time, (months at a pretty high dose - it really attacks your stomach lining though so I went off), which I guess is a step up from advil, and is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID), can't say if it helped with the inflamma
Avatar f tn As some of you know I suffer from severe health anxiety...I started going through a particularly bad time last fall...I am constantly afraid of headaches,fevers,muscle aches etc..as a result of this I started taking advil constantly and I am up to about 10 to 12 liquigels a day..If I don't take them my anxiety goes through the roof and I start to imagine headaches,pain etc...this can't be good for me..and I don't know how to stop...
Avatar f tn No you can't take advil.
Avatar n tn We just found out yesterday I am expecting and figure im about 5 weeks. I have terrible headaches but I am allergic to tylenol, I have always just puked it up. Is there anything else I can take at this point?
Avatar n tn Earlier I Was In Extreme Pain Due To A Tooth Ache I Took Advil Because I Tried Tylenol Earlier In The Day && It Did Nothing Could Me Taking Advil Hurt My Baby I'm 28 Weeks Already!
Avatar f tn What, if anything can I take for a headache? I've read far too many mixed reviews. I have advil and ibuprofen here, just don't Wana take anything besides my pre natals, too nerve wracking!
Avatar m tn Can you take meloxicam and later a couple of Advil? I was prescribed meloxicam for my arthritis and it does not always help me..
1051752 tn?1253833456 Imitrex on the other hand is migraine medication and will stop a migraine. Advil is not migraine medication and can cause problems by making headaches worse. Imitrex is migraine medication that is specifically for migraine and it will stop a migraine. Most migraines do not come with aura. Take that into consideration when you get a headache that feels exactly like your regular migraine just without an aura. That means you are having a migraine. You don't need an aura to have a migraine.
Avatar f tn I ALWAYS have to take medicine and take it easy for a few days during my period. I usually take Advil the day before my expected period because they say that it works better if you take it before the pain starts. It does for me. Here is my problem: My husband and I are always dreaming and hoping for a baby. Is it a good idea to take Advil the day before my expected period when there is a chance I could be pregnant?
Avatar n tn Few Lesions (pimple like with red base) come and go everywhere in my body (cheeks, forehead, ear pinna, eyelids, chest, arm, forearm...). I have took acyclovir only for 10 days in October and am suffering a couple of lesions coming up and clearing in few days every now and then. This is companied by random itching occurring in different parts of the body without visible lesions, I also felt some shooting pain for a few seconds (rarely) into my penis.
Avatar n tn Try taking Advil and then 2 hours later take Tylenol and keep the cycle going. This is how my husband deals with shingles when he gets it. He says it helps, not a cure but definitely better.
