Thank u Nova. As I said, if I do manage to suppress one it just means I get another before the first/suppressed one has healed. I'm trying to find alternatives to help prevent them occurring at all.
You do not need to take the valtrex daily. I cannot take it daily because it causes kidney issues, but my doc suggested the following.
I take one when I first feel the tingle, before you see anything, and another every 12 hours for 2 days, or till its gone. As long as I start the med before it erupts I can stop them
Since I began doing that I have not had any come up, and the frequency of me taking the med has decreased signifigantly.
