Avatar m tn zostex is used for herpes zoster and as far as I know not related with genital herpes, he said it was also an untiviral for hsv ? is that true? should I use it till the results come out?
1379583 tn?1294260171 sorry for the late answer, but no need for supplementary examinations. your pain is typical dermatomal happening in nerve inflammation in herpes zoster for example and should be treated for months and sometimes years.
Avatar m tn That SAME DAY I went in, I asked to get tested for HSV1/HSV2 just for a check up. I have never EVER had any symptoms of these STDs, NOTHING ever appear on my genitals exept for on my thumb, arm and stomach area. I got the test results 4 days later and came out negative for HSV1 but positve for HSV2. I am in shock!!!
Avatar f tn this can be low levels of vitamins....do go to ur PCP and have some blood panels done to see how ur B12, vit D and magnesium and potassium , and calcium... If u have low levels u can get twitching....so have this checked and look to ur diet to make sure it is a well balanced one.
Avatar m tn I'm a 36 year old male. About five days ago I noticed a single small red bump on my upper right thigh. It was somewhat itchy. Then about three days later the area developed into a rash with several red bumps. The bumps aren't really clustered together nor are they in a row, they are spread out within the area of the rash about 1/2 to 1/4 of an inch apart. The area was itchy and somewhat painful if rubbing up against my pants.
Avatar n tn If 3 docs say its zoster then its pretty definitely zoster. The valtrex dose given by Londres is correct for the time when the outbreak is present. In my country Valtrex is not licensed for suppression of zoster. You are taking the dose that suppresses the majority (but not all )of simplex outbreaks. The dose to treat zoster is higher than the dose to treat simplex, so I am guessing that the dose to suppress zoster may be higher than the dose to suppress simplex.
582769 tn?1218098448 I barley walk anymore, but I am so much better than 2004. I felt like all my muscles had turned to mush. I melted. I was struck with some face numbness in May 2003. In April 2003 I had teeth extracted and a denture for the upper gums. I had one bottom tooth extracted also. This numbness became like a facial mask that I was wearing. It feels as if something is laying on my face. I have some pressure, tugging and some electrical shocks. I had to seek for help for pain.
Avatar n tn while in zoster it is neuropathic. For it to have lasted several days or more is not suggestive of a HSV false prodrome. As I said, there are other possible casues as well; that is the reason I suggested discussion with your doctor.
Avatar n tn Hello. I had herpes zoster back in december and I would just like to know a couple of things. Can I have sex? Can I spread it?
Avatar m tn typical antibody levels for zoster (I had chickenpox as a kid) but negative IgM for zoster. Negative IgG results for both HSV1 and HSV2. But a positive IgM result (non-specific: could be either 1 or 2 or both I guess)!! The cultures came back negative but apparently there was very little fluid to culture. I had lesions, swelling and the most intense pain I have yet to experience. Shooting pains, burning sensation, chill, you name it -- if it was unpleasant, I experienced it.
Avatar f tn m asking because I tested positive for herpes type 1 and herpes type 2 via IgG AB testing. Although rare, shingles can appear on the genitals as I've noticed. I haven't been officially diagnosed with shingles but I had it once, although very minor, on the right of my vagina, on my left cheek, and on/in left my ear.

1960283 tn?1325221916 I got a positive blood result for Varicella Zoster, the level was really high, but whats weird is that i have absolutely no symptoms for Chicken Pox or Shingles. I have no rash, or blisters and i've had Chicken Pox twice mildly as a child. Is there something else this could be that shows up as a positive result for Varicella Zoster?
Avatar n tn A fair number of people do however get second episodes of herpes zoster (shingles). For additional information on herpes zoster, I am afraid you will have to find another source. Good luck.
Avatar n tn The virus responsible for these conditions is called the Varicella zoster virus (VZV). After an individual has chickenpox, this virus lives in the nervous system and is never fully cleared from the body. Under certain circumstances, such as emotional stress, immune deficiency (from AIDS or chemotherapy), or with cancer, the virus reactivates causing shingles.
Avatar m tn Next review is on 3 weeks later to get a more accurate test for HIV. The consultant told me my herpes zoster might be transmitted by sexual intercourse as it is same virus class as genital herpes. It's a long 4hours wait in that dsc (department of sti control) and I learn that we must always be responsible, wear the rubber and faithful to our partner. Thanks grace.
Avatar n tn last month, the doctor told me, i got herpes zoster virus. after 1 week of medication, the doctor told me, that im ok. my question is, 1 week of medication is enough to cure herpes zoster virus?
1708219 tn?1307934260 On 40th day I felt my chest hot, and two days later I saw 4 lumps of rashes on my chest and back, which felt quite painful. I saw my doctor, he said it is Herpes Zoster, and gave me some pills. I know that Herpes Zoster occurs when people's immunity declined, I dont know whether its a symbol of ARS, in some materials I read that ARS will decrease one's Immunity rapidly, I dont know whether my Herpes Zoster has any relationship with ARS.
Avatar n tn I went to urgent care, they said looked like herpes. I seen my GP and it was healed, but she said it looked like herpes zoster. I then requested a blood test. I got the results and HSV 1 IGG said >5 which is positve, HSV 2 showed .15 which is negative. I had IGM Titer antibodies. I was last sexually active 2 months prior to this test and about 6-7 weeks prior to this outbreak.
Avatar m tn Hi Karenall2 I don't agree with the other post. Cold sores are caused by the Herpes simplex virus type 1 not by Herpes zoster. Yes Herpes zoster can cause skin lesions on the face and eye. But you describe classic cold sore caused by Herpes simplex. It is quite common and about 80% of adults have it. It does go away sooner if you use a topical or pill form of acyclovir. If you really want to know, best to get it cultured. Acyclovir will help clear it up.
Avatar m tn Also they seem to be healing pretty quickly. He said it would take a week, but that seems quick for Herpes Zoster as well. I asked him about regular herpes and he said it is not that and when I asked he said I could have sex with my girlfriend as long as she has had the chicken pox or the vaccine. I have been with her for a year and have not cheated and while it is a long distance relationship I don't think she cheated either.
Avatar f tn The term shingles is generally used to refer to a varicella zoster reactivation (herpes zoster).
Avatar m tn Over the course of the next 5 months see experienced back pain issues which resulted in simple X-Rays and Doctor perscribed Physio. About 6 months ago see had another Herpes Zoster (Shingles) flair-up on her neck. This is something that she has experienced over the last 30 years whenever under intense stress or physical pain.
Avatar f tn 5 months ago i was very stressed in my work and i had an episode of zoster. So i decided test for hiv, i had 4 tests (4th generation HIV Ag/Ab Combo) and 1 rapid test all negative. I still worried. Can i trust in these tests e move on? Thank you very much.
