Anyone have success with valtrex alleviating symptoms ?My Dr. prescribed it for 1 week. I also take desipramine (TCA) and have not had any relief from that yet either. It has been 2 weeks. How long can this crazy virus last? Does it subside or run it's course within 6 months? I thought I read this somewhere. Sorry for the multiple questions- this is just so frustrating... I want relief. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!!!
I'm always fatigued thanks to the EBV. Could EBV lead up to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
My doctor told me to stop taking Valtrex for a while to let my liver regenerate. While I think Valtrex is an excellent drug for treating HSV 2, I think users should take into consideration that long term use can cause some mild to moderate damage to the liver as my tests have proven. Also, anyone using Valtrex should not drink ANY alcohol while on it because it will exacerbate the problem with your liver. I'm hoping in a few weeks my liver tests go back to normal.
Then I took no more Valtrex until the 8th month after the first test. I had developed chronic itching facial and vaginal itching so I was prescribed suppressive Valtrex for a year. I was retested at 19 months. The igGs were negative. I was tested at 22 months, the igGs were negative. I stopped taking Valtrex. They are thinking I have another condition and should not get tested again for HSV unless I have a blister to be tested which I have not. What do you think?
They said I had Lymes and treated me with Rocephin 2 gm Iv for 28 days and DOXYCYCLINE 100mg po BID for 28 days. The muscle fatigue went away and joint pain but all my labs from quest were negative. My western blot,bortenella,Babesia,Q-Fever. Lymes specialist says a biofilm will form around the antibodies causing them to not show up. Is this true? I am still having pain under my left breast under ribs at times. My muscle do get tired easier. I am confused and do not know what to do.
Help! I have seen 16 drs who do not believe in chronic fatigue. I can not even get out of be and I have been on provigil and adderall neither of which help me at all. I have also been to the emergency and my thyroid is supposedly level. They just tell me that they can not do anything for me. Is there any help for me out there?
m sorry to hear about the fatigue worsening. Have you discussed chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with your doctor? Because the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown, treatment programs are directed at relief of symptoms. The goal is to regain some level of function and well-being.
Always talk to your doctor about any treatment decisions for CFS which is based on your overall medical condition and current symptoms.
I still recommend stopping the valtrex - it's not likely that you have hsv1 genitally going on all this time. multiple negative lesion cultures too makes it likely that it's not hsv1.
Try looking online for support groups for vulvodynia and see if you can find any recommendations for a gyn near you that specializes in it. You also might want to see a dermatologist too ( all of these doctors can work together if you let them know that you want them to ).
Around the same time, in the first year of my daughters life, I developed fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue/IBS and was trying to get that diagnosed as it was not a common thing back then. So due to other health issues and my child's numerous health issues I did not ask my GP about my back for about 2 years until these outbreaks started happening 4 times year. To this day they are always in the exact same spot on my back. 22 years ago my dr.
About four months ago, I had a small outbreak on my lower lip, just right of center, along the bottom edge. It went away in a few hours because of the Valtrex, but since then I have had chronic pain in that spot. It hurts when I rub it with my fingernail. The painful area is small, but definitely noticeable.
My doctor just looked at the area and said "I don't see anything", and then dismissed the issue altogether.
yes, this time I had a very bad injury, I fell on ice and broke my pelvic in 3 diff. places. I was in rehab for two weeks and then started to feel very fatigued after i got home. i then had to have eye surgery for a detached retna, and then my body just fell apart. For the last 5 days i have been taken 500mg valtrex 2x/day. I hope that helps me to recovery.
thanks for your help.
I have increasingly been getting canker sores for the past 6 months. Outbreaks only give me one week of rest in between often lasting anywhere from 3-5 weeks at a time. Outbreaks vary in diameter and number. The sores are located solely on the INSIDE of my lower lip, gums, and tongue.
Other possible symptoms (related or not): frequent bowel movements, loss of appetite, decreased sex drive
I have been to several doctors. Done several labs, blood tests.
I have been doing some research and found a study that discusses the use of Valtrex for 6 months with great improvement for patients who have chronic active levels of the EBV I think I am going to give that a shot once I complete the treatment for Bell's Palsy. I hope that it completely resolves right now the left side of my face looks like I had a stroke yet they scans showed normal brain function. At this point anything is worth a shot.
