. I contacted genital herpes 6 years ago and had very few out breaks. After a very serious accident last year, my body it seems lost it's ability to fight the virus and I've been having recurring outbreaks, almost constantly since the accident. The outbreaks are painful
and persist to such an extent, i finally got exhausted of trying to cope and went on Valaclyclovir/valtrex daily dose 500 mg. I very much resisted this decision as i have taken this drug in the past for occasional outbreaks and, although it works, have always found it hard on my body.
So I have taken one a day for a month. the outbreaks have disappeared, but my HAIR is falling out!! I've looked it up and I see that hair thinning is a complaint/side effect(rare) of this drug.
Does anyone else find this? Does anyone else know of any other drug that does NOT cause this side effect? I'm also trying homeopathic remedies but this virus is a tough one to keep at bay...
help! really don't want to lose my hair on top of everything else!
