do you have any idea where we can get this vaccine?... it may work for hsv 1 or 2... I will try it... and willing to pay the 200.00

These viruses are not the same even though they are all in the herpes family, but if you want to try it go to any local pharmacy like walgreens etc they usually have a sign outside that says shingles vaccine available here!

do u think they will sell it to me, i'm only 30 years old

[dinki]

No idea....you might just have to go and ask them if they could vaccinate you against shingles! if that doesnt work try your primary physician's office

How do you know it is the valtrex causing the problem? Maybe this person has other health issues?

I have read, and been told by various ID specialists, that valtrex is "an exceedingly safe drug" and is "well tolerated" by most people. There has been this study performed by Steve Tyrin or some similar name who has tracked Valtrex users over 30 years and there has been minimal problems with it.

Next, there are several OTC herbs/vitamins that supposedly have been proven to nearly completely inhibit virus replication - indole 3 carbinol, resveratrol and licorice root. Have you tried any of them or even lysine?
