Thanks Grace! I have a refill left on the medicine so I'll get more and do the mega dose.
Yes, it's been over two weeks. I was diagnosed by swabbing the area with HSV2. BV has been common for me since I started dealing with the FM a few years ago. Could be that too I suppose. Docs also think I might have early lupus at this point but I can't get testing done right now. I don't think I have a yeast infection but I'm allergic to azoles (like diflucan, fluconazole) so they're very hard to treat if I do get them. :/
also if everything is itchy down yonder, you should be seen again and get tested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too. bv especially often occurs without obvious discharge and can make herpes linger too.
has this last lesion been there more than 2 weeks?
how were you originally diagnosed? do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally?
when you have recurrences, the dose of acyclovir is 400mg 3x/day for 5 days or the even easier 800mg 3x/day for 2 days.
