valtrex hives

If I am infected, the Valtrex only stopped me from developing overt lesions. But it had no effect on the hives or other symptoms, which is in contrast to a case report of HSV-caused hives, where Valtrex got rid of them. 3. The hives stopped/markedly decreased when I stopped taking Valtrex. 4. Other symptoms either improved or did not change significantly when Valtrex discontinued. 5. No additional typical or atypical herpes symptoms since discontinuing Valtrex; i.e.

Wanted to edit to say "She prescribed 1GM twice a day of Valtrex...

i have been getting hives since i quit taking the valtrex and stopped it about a month ago, dr gave me antihistamine for the hives, will this med or having hives interefere with getting the test done? thanks!

I then have it return and a new dermatoigist thought it was hives. they did a biopsy and it came back as hives,she said I might have the two things going on. I stayed on valtrex the first time for six months,with no help. the second round two different allergy pills,that did calm it down.I had abreif period that I thought it stooped. I have know the ones that look like erythma multiforme.

Widespread nerve pain, rash wrapping around my body, etc. He gave me a prescription for Valtrex. None of the big scary symptoms happened. Cluster of blisters grew to about the size of a dollar coin. Busted open. Crusted over and healed. No pain, no widespread rash. Figured I got a lucky break. March 2017. Cluster of blisters occurred on left forearm. Went to my doctor. He commented that it looked like zoster. But called it a spider bite instead. Treated with antibiotics and a steroid.

I recently went to a clinic for lesions and pain while urinating and they did a culture. It came back positive for herpes, but they didn't test whether it was HSV-1 or HSV-2. They put me on Valtrex which I've been taking for nine days, and yesterday I was symptom free when I went to bed. I was awoken around midnight with an intense outbreak of what I I'm fairly sure is shingles, which I have had only one time before and that was years ago.

t think we have info on famvir dosing during pregnancy. We recommend the higher immunosuppression doses of valtrex and acyclovir during the last month of pregnancy. Your body is naturally immunosuppressed during pregnancy so it takes the higher doses to better control the virus. since you were infected with hsv2 prior to pregnancy, the odds of transmission to your baby during birth are less than 1% as long as you don't have any obvious symptoms during delivery.

After about a week of breaking out in hives when exposed to the cold I developed cold sores, about 7 on different places on/in my lips. This has happened multiple times since then where I developed several cold sores at once, whereas before that time I had never had more than one.

I'm so impressed with the frank, accurate information I'm reading here. I'm hoping you can clarify my problem for me. Question: My husband apparently has HSV I, genitally. He took a course of Valtrex. He tested positive through cultures, and I haven't had symptoms but tested HSV I positive through blood test (7.22 IV from IgG.) Do I have anything to worry about if he has an outbreak again? Or if he doesn't? Should he wear a condom since I'm already positive?

After the first few onsets, I was treated for HSV-1 with a 2mg Valtrex treatment, which helped for a couple days and then it was back. I was then treated for Impetigo with topical and oral antibiotics, which did nothing. Then, I was put on suppressive antiviral therapy, Valtrex 500mg 2x a day. That seemed to help for 4-5 days, but I just had another flare this morning. Any ideas what could be going on or how I can fix this?

Hello, Such itchy bumps can be due to contact dermatitis, allergy, hives or bacterial or viral infection. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used, whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid. But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

How good does valtrex work in suppressing HSV 1 I started taking 1000 mg a day?

So now that i found out that i have hsv-1 do i need to take valtrex everyday for the rest of my life if i dont want to get my partner infected?

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.

I have not had any outbreaks at all, I occasionally have burning and itching, but beyond that nothing else. I have been on supressive therapy w/ Valtrex since the end of may. I have had pain on lower right abdomen, under my ribcage it feels, and pain on my right lower back. Is this a symptom of Herpes, or can this be a reaction to the Valtrex?

I have been on valtrex for the past 4 months (1 a day) if the symptoms I am having have not gone away for a period of 2 years ( symptoms are there for a week then subside for 2 - 3 days then come back ) this has been like clockwork for the past 2 years.

Instead I found an empty bottle of Valtrex, prescribed to her. Needless to say, there was no way in hell I was going to use any toothbrush in there. Rather than blowing up about it, I came home and did some research. But I was sad to find that Valtrex is only prescribed for Simplex I, Simplex II and Zosters. So I asked her about it (via instant message - is that bad?). She said she gets cold sores sometimes, and the Valtrex gets rid of them quickly.

What is the possibility of being immune to Valtrex? Is there a possibility that after taking Valtrex daily that in a couple years it may no longer be effective?

my partner who i met has been on Valtrex for a couple of years and the pass year we had unprotected sex. I went and got tested and my blood work came back negative. She is ok with the results and angry that she allowed me to convince her and not using condoms. I just can't explained why we did it without condoms only that I love her and we are getting marry.

How would the Valtrex slow down antibody production? Would it suppress the virus to the nerve ganglia before the body can start to develop an immunity response.

Thanks. I have started daily Valtrex to reduce the risk of transmission to him. After much discussion, he has agreed, reluctantly, to find out his status. If he's positive for HSV 2, I'll discontinue the med. If he's negative I will keep taking it. I got your book recently and will I'm sure get a lot of information (and much needed strategies for getting my head around this) from the book. Two final questions for you: 1.

Can taking Herpes medication, such as Valtrex, create a later false positive test for the STD?

She put me on valtrex it seems like the valtrex shortened the outbreaks but i have tingling every day and i dont know why. and I still have outbreaks, so why is this?
