Yes I'm sure about the valtrex.

Sorry but if they are stumped, I'm certainly not going to be of much use. I know it's frustrating but just keep going back monthly as needed for continued follow up.

Are you sure about only being in your system for 5 days?  I have always been upset i even got Herpes I was always carefull but I didn't know you can get it orally.  I have been to a Neurologist and he said everything works good. I have tried everything!  I have taken Anxiety pills  and nothing works I don't know what else to do?  I went to a few Dermatologists and they couldnt help the one guy said if he cant see nothing theres nothing he can do.  Do you have any advise?

burning sensations all over the body aren't due to herpes or valtrex. You need to continue follow up on this with your provider or a neurologist. the valtrex was out of your body completely within 5 days maximum after you stopped it.

Valtrex did have this cause me to have really dry/ flaky skin and stinging patches around my mouth.  It also caused this tingling and itchy sensation on my face.  I was also feeling pains in my side. I was on 500mg twice a day but stopped because I just wasn't reacting well to the meds.

Burning more in the Genital area but all over my body!  I have been taking 1 gram per day for 4 months.  I was taking for longer before but i stopped to see if that's what's been causing the burning for about 1 month but im not sure if that was a long enough wait because i still had the burning.

Do you mean a burning sensation in your genital skin or a burning sensation all over your body?  How much valtrex are you taking and for how long have you been on it?
