herpes simplex, suppression
"I was diagnosed with Herpes Simplex Virus back in November 2013. My first OB happened a few days ago. Only one blister around my genital area. My Dr prescribed Valacyclovir 500mg 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days and acyclovir 7x daily for 7 days. As soon as I started taking the medicines the blister decreased in size and there is little to no pain. I'm going to see my dr again this Friday so he can prescribe a suppression regime. Life saver medicine with the possibility of suppressing the spread of the virus. Little to no side effects, mostly dizzy and tired. Worth it."
