Valtrex
Grace, I was diagnosed w/ GH-HSV-2 by type specific IgG test in May of this year. 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?
Herpes absolutely causes low back pain, buttock pain and leg pain below the buttocks. I have had herpes since 1989 and I ALWAYS know when an outbreak is imminent because of these symptoms. Know your body and pay attention to the ailments that immediately precede an outbreak. Unfortunately it seems I know more about the virus than any of the doctors that have treated me do. And they don't seem interested in learning, only prescribing expensive Valtrex. SMH. We will never find a cure as long a the anti-viral industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry.
