valtrex

Avatar f tn I have no mono symptoms- no fatigue, swollen glands, fever. That is why I am puzzled. Dic prescribed valtrex since ebv is a virus in the same class as herpes. Well, hasn't worked anyway... No surprise. So if my dizzies and ear pain caused by this virus... Will it ever go away?
Avatar m tn My doc put me on Valtrex to fight the EBV, and i have been taking it rfor a week and my lymph nodes are shrunken and i have waay more energy than i remember having in a long long time. try Valtrex, if u have insurance. with out it, it costs more than $500.
Avatar f tn antiviral therapy, homeopathic formulas that target EBV... but more importantly... the majority of FM/CFS patients have BACTERIAL infections and in that case, the pathogen killing treatments are the only treatments that can address this.

Avatar n tn I'm curious as to what else your doctor had you do besides take acyclovir. It is an anti-viral medication that targets herpes viruses specifically, as I'm sure you're aware, so it may have helped stop the spread of the virus. However, you recovered because your body was able to suppress the EBV virus (as it does in the majority of people).
Avatar n tn The initial igg was negative in April, as well as the culture. I had 100 bumps all over me, however, the ob felt that since I was already on valtrex (for EBV) that full lesions were not forming. The igm was positive, she said it was my first outbreak in April. Than, 8 weeks later the igg came back positive for HSV1. Than, at sixteen weeks the igg came back negative for both HSV1 and HSV2. How can the igg go from positive to negative?
Avatar m tn If a have theoretaclly really a chronic ebv and cmv infection would you take valtrex or better famvir? i would like to avoid valcyte because of the toxic effects.
Avatar m tn My Dr. wrote a prescription for 1gm daily pill of Valtrex. I already have stomach problems and am trying to minimize potential side effects with highest drug efficacy. Seems logical to take 2 pills at 500mg/pill instead. Would this reduce stomach upset and/or improve absorption of drug? Thx in advance.
Avatar f tn I have what I think is a chronic herpesvirus infection (HSV or EBV, responds to Valtrex) and I have some tingling and occasionally twinging.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with CAEBV in Feb of this year. My doctor prescribed 2g 2x/day valtrex. When I took it I couldn't move. I went from needing a rest after each activity to taking 30 minutes to figure out to move my body to the bathroom. My doc said I could reduce the dosage so I started taking 1g in the day and 2 at night. I was still very limited but could function for one activity a day and could lay in bed and read books/play games with my kids.
Avatar n tn It sounds like you currently do not meet the CDC's criteria for CFS, but you might want to look at these other symptoms and make sure. A CFS diagnosis should be considered in patients who present with six months or more of unexplained fatigue accompanied by other characteristic symptoms.
Avatar f tn In January I got EBV but didn't have insurance till June my test came back positive 2.
Avatar m tn Kindly check Ebv also.
Avatar m tn He tried every viable natural alternative prior to finding the study on treatment of EBV with Valtrex, to no avail.
Avatar m tn 0, neutrophils 83 (High), Lymphs 6 (low), Lymphs (Absolute) 0.3 (low), my Doctor told me I have HSV and put me on Valtrex 500mg/day for "the rest of your life." After reading answers to similar questions on MedHelp I'm not sure he is asking me to do the right thing? Please help me if you can regarding this situation. It looks to me like the specific tests are negative and the IgM is inconclusive and often unreliable accordingly. Do you agree or do I have HSV?
Avatar f tn so did you get diagnosed with acute EBV mono ? This would mean a positive blood test result for EBV igM antibodies (igM antibodies indicate a current infection). If you were negative for igM but positive for iGg, it just means you have had contracted EBV at some point in the past. This isnt very useful, as most people (said to be 95% by age 30) have contracted EBV at some stage in their lives.
361311 tn?1372012402 I have been reading some interesting treatments for chronic EBV using anti virals such as Valtrex. What do you all know about it. Thank you for your time. I hope that I have finally figured out (not thanks to my doctors) what is going on with me. This has been the fight of my life. There is more to the story but the stressors that happened all around this was incredible and I am luck to by here and not taking a dirt nap. Let me know what you think.
974371 tn?1424653129 Have you had Sjogren's Syndrome ruled out? Were the "high levels" for Herpes and EBV for active disease or just antibodies? Your symptoms do not correlate with EBV or Herpes as being the problem. I don't think the Valtrex will be much help.
Avatar n tn child molestation its hidden in your body, now if you ever blew your nose and used tissue to wipe after you pp then you can do it to yourself, have Dr start you on valtrex , or go to ER to get valtrex do you douche alot bacterial vaginosisi? soak in epsom salt, take llysine vitamin , lidocain spray might help solorcaine has lidocain in it to numb the area..

Avatar n tn Six weeks later, tested again, igm+, igg-. My Dr immediately put me on valtrex, but I only took it for about a month and stopped. I've been off it for a month or more and still, no symptoms of herpes outbreaks, etc. However, I have had some mild pain in the left-side of my abdomen. It was never anything 'bad' so I never mentioned it to my Dr. But, the discomfort/mild-pains have become more frequent (ie.

Avatar m tn I am a 40 yo woman. I've been suffering from drenching night sweats for nearly 3 years. They started out being only 1 or 2 times a week, now it's nearly every night. I have to get up to change clothes or put a towel down anywhere from 1 to 5 times a night, as I soak through the clothing and the sheets. I have Hashimoto's and am taking desicated porcine hormone. My Drs.
Avatar f tn I am a 33 w/o female with apparent recurrent exacerbations of EBV that began in 2002 a few months after the birth of my 1st child.

After 2 course of antibiotics and steroids, I was admitted to the hospital for IV hydration and further testing.
