valtrex
Any supplements that I can take to help? Ive been living with this for years and just finally after many docotrs found out whats going on. No one around me really seems to take it seriously and think its all in my head even after a confirmed blood test. Im 31 years old and feel pretty much alone and lost.
We are not here to diagnosis you, follow up/see a Dr for your symtpoms.
Is there a point to going to the doctor for mono (because they can't treat it) OTHER than to get an official diagnosis? Also, is 27 too old to get mono?
I have read that Valtrex and Valacyclovir can be used for the suppression of herpes , does that hold true for Valcivir also,, isn't Valacyclovir the generic of Valciver ,, if yes what is the usual dosage for the suppression of the virus?
Sorry, but I agree with the advice you had from Life360 in your earlier thread. You don't have herpes and something else caused your sore throat. Have you been evaluated for infectious mononucleosis (also called glandular fever)? If you haven't been seeing a doctor, do it now to confirm whether or not you actually have lymphadenopathy and to determine the cause. Of all cases of sore throat and cervical lymphadenopathy, HSV is one of the less common.
You should immediately see your doctor or a dermatologist for exam and testing of the lesion for VZV and to be safe, maybe HSV as well -- follow your doctor's advice. If your doctor(s) suspect shingles, they probably will want to treat you with valacyclovir or a related drug, otherwise it could quickly become a lot worse quickly.
I'll be interested to hear the outcome after you have been professionally evaluated.
1. Tell your partner you are infected, 2. Take daily valacyclovir, 3. Use condoms, and 4. Do not have sex if lesions are present. By following these steps people can go for years without infecting their sex partners.
Hope this helps. Please take a look at the web site, it is very helpful.
I talk valacyclovir for herpes out breaks I have a high dosage one for when I get them it doesn't harm the baby.
Though this is my first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks.
They told me once I get closer to my due date to take them daily so there is no break out.
t want it there so I started to take Valacyclovir it would keep breaking out every month or so I went on a daily maintenance of 500mg a day. When ever I would miss a pill I start feeling the sensation which I felt when I was going to get an outbreak. I would keep taking it for 5 years. I wanted to stop taking it so I had read some Medical Article's online that Valtrex can rebound.
I agree with you on the protective effects, including that you are currently taking daily valacyclovir, all combine to reduce your risk for transmission of infection. I should also point out that while we DO know that each of these variables acts independently to reduce risk, how they all work together at the same time is not possible to estimate.
I might consider going to a naturopathic physician if this takes one week longer but for now I feel physically alright (been back to work for 3 weeks), just the slight discomfort with drinking/swallowing and my concern with the white-ishness on my tonsils.
As for CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), I don't know much about it - is it serious? I'm always moaning about being tired but that's probably self-inflicted as I don't sleep much to begin with.
A guy I know had mononucleosis late last September. Got better by last week in October. He kissed a girl from late December to early January. I do not believe she ever showed signs or symptoms of mono. I kissed the same girl this past weekend, March 15th. How likely am I to contract mono? Could he have given it to her without her knowing? If she has already had it, would I still have a chance at contracting it? I do not know whether or not I have ever had mono.
I have been experiencing all-over-body nerve tingling for about 10 months now, after a strangely over the top outbreak of cold sores (HSV1) on my chin, nose & upper lip - the nerve tingling happens: scalp, ears, eyelids, nose, temples, armpits, arms, hands, groin, knees, feet, all over the place. Normally, throughout my teenage years, I would just get a single cold sore on one lip, thought nothing of it, but this outbreak had multiple small spots, lasted longer, and they were quite painful.
Thank you for your answers to my earlier questions about how contagious GHSV-1 is. You helped and your responses were comforting. Yet I have some more questions:
(1) It is my understanding that it is hard to shed asymptomatically from my stomach and that is why it is taking longer to heal (will...it's healed...but for the redness to go away). Do you, or anyone else, know how long it normally takes for your stomach to heal completely (as in no signs at all)?
I'm on daily 1 gram valacyclovir for suppressive therapy. I can feel a new outbreak coming. Would it help if a take the valacyclovir twice daily for a couple of days to help with the OB?
how were you originally diagnosed?
what are your symptoms now?
Would acute HIV ever present like this, acute outbreak of symptoms, disappear for a week, then recurr? Could the valacyclovir have masked the effects of acute HIV one I started taking it? should I be looking at bacterial causes?
Please help with opinions. I need to make the right next steps with my health care providers. Everyone wants to tke a wait And see approach but I want to take charge of it.
Thank you for answering my question. Could you tell me how serious it would be for her to catch it in comparison to, say, the flu?
Hi community, I've had 4 unprotected heterosexual encounters over the last four months, the most recent being this past weekend.
On Sunday I began feeling swollen lymph nodes in my groin. Monday I began having a fever and diarrhea, along with continued groin lymph swelling, and night sweats began (I've been using acetaminophen ever since to try to regulate my temperature--with some success) ... Tuesday I started to notice my mouth wasn't right. It felt chalky and full.
