Common Questions and Answers about How fast does famvir work
famvir
Thanks Grace,
Just curious, do yeast infections cause more outbreaks? I've never had a yeast infection. Another question i had was my outbreaks now tend to occur above my butt crack. Is it still possible to transmit it if i have sex with a condom since the outbreak is not vaginal?
I was in a previous relationship for 4 years without Valtrex and didnt use condoms and my partner was never infected.
no famvir isn't stronger than valtrex. they both work about the same, you just have to take famvir more often to get the same results as you do with valtrex.
Your spouse having herpes isn't going to trigger ob's in you. You will still get ob's even while on suppressive therapy, you just get less of them.
Definitely the next step is getting your man tested for herpes. He'll need a type specific herpes igg blood test for hsv1 and hsv2. Once you know his status then you can better decide what precautions to take together ( if any ).
Just to err on the side of caution - I'd call the clinic and ask them if they can mail you a copy of your herpes lesion culture results. The other option is to ask for a clinic nurse there to go over it with you.
I have been to several doctors who blew it off as a yeast infection. Does anyone know of any alternatives that work?
In the following years (2007-2009) i have only had 3-4 outbreaks. when i get an outbreak i use famvir, 2 tablets at first then 1 every 12 hours for 3 doses. these always worked quickly and the outbreaks were never severe and didn't last longer than a week or so start to finish.
In the last 2 weeks (jan 2010) i had a small outbreak that i immediately took my usual dose of famvir for and it cleared up, almost totally within 5-7 days.
how long did you take the famvir for? are you sure that you haven't done anything else along with taking famivir that could have helped the symptoms? simply from being at rest for example.
there are some new strains of Influenza virus that can trigger immunological problems and weaken the muscles and spinal cord.
do you have any other symptoms?
just to Add 1 Point, i made the blood test after i stop the zovirax cream for 3 weeks
I am new to the forum as I have just been diagnosed with a 17mm herniation and a syrinx. My question is how fast does this progress because every day I feel worse. I no longer work because I shake so bad and get so dizzy. Do people still work with all the symptoms? I feel like head is going to blow!
Sorry my phone auto corrected. I meant 'I shouldn't trust any test I've taken thus far to include this WB?'
How long do I wait? Man I feel stupid.
Hi, I have had 3 cortisone injections for nasal swelling and pain due to allergies. I have also been on Acyclovir for a year, to manage Herpes II infection. Also have sudden hearing loss and tinnitus in R ear diagnosed as viral, possibly herpes. After the last cortisone injection in January '09, I am having a genital herpes flareup which does not seem to be responding to Famcyclovir treatment. Also sores in my mouth. Am I possibly having a Herpes flareup due to the cortisone injections?
He dismissed the fact I still have some symptoms and respond to famvir. My problem with this is at the same time my blood work came back and showed globulin levels low ( my test=2.0 , ref for 26y/o male 2.1-3.7) I asked if this could have screwed up the blood test and he said no , it was not really anything to worry about it was not very low. His opinion was I probably do not have herpes but can come back for testing in 6 mo to be sure.
Should I get a second opinion?
