Acyclovir, time and Ibuprofen have been the best healers, in my opinion, even with taking neurontin. If I lower my
dosage of
Acyclovir below 600mg/day, the symptoms (right arm pain and blisters) begin again. My dermatologist told me I will probably have to take Acyclovir the rest of my life.
All of this began after opthomologist took me off of Acyclovir after nine years of daily Acyclovir (400mg) to prevent a recurrence of herpes iritis (eye disease).
