Valtrex reactions - is this normal?

[Guest guest]

Hi, my daughter started valtrex on 12/11 then got very ill by 12/15

with a virus that was going around (vomiting, diarreah etc). She

couldn't keep anything down so I had to stop giving it to her until

she got better. I restarted the valtrex last night. This morning

about 30 minutes after she took it she got bumps on her feet that she

was itching non-stop - looked like hives. Then her feet got better

and it went to her hands. cleared up after about 3 hours. I gave her

another dose this evening and now she's having the same problem with

her hands again.

Very itchy, red and can't stop scratching and licking them. Anyone

had this happen to them or is this maybe an allergic reaction? We

didn't see any of this when she originally started for the 5 days

before she got sick. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi group

My daughter has had these types of rashes for about three weeks. They

are very itchy as well. The rash on her hands is the worst. My DAN

hasn't seen her but from the phone consultation thought it could be

an allergy but it would be hard to call. Stan said it might be yeast,

if that helps. I have lowered the dose of valtrex but the itching

continues and last night was the worst its ever been. I think I will

stop valtrex, we are on day 47 with diflucan and a low sugar diet

already in place. Let me know if you see the doc, I can't see mine

for another 2 weeks. Thanks

When I am allergic I get large hives on my hands and feet. They get red and swollen and it hurts. I think she's allergic to valtrexTed Fogarty wrote: Timing of reaction sounds suspicious enough for allergy to valtrex, would hold off until hearing from DAN doctor. >yes, im washing the dye off the pills so it's not that. It's veryweird, not really a rash but much more like hives appearing randomlyon her body but mostly on her hands and feet. I tried getting aholdof her DAN doc today but of course they're out for the holidays. Doyou think

I should stop until I can talk to him?Sondra> Sondra> > My son did get rashes as we increased the dose.

Basically, in my opinion... it's a very good sign.

If you listen to my presentation from the USAAA Conference in 2006

on www.recoveryvideos.com you'll see the data I collected about

mercury excretion.

When you mobilize mercury and it is excreted from the body, the

places on the skin that it comes out of the most is the hands and

feet.

If you look at Pink Disease, which was caused by mercury in teething

powder in the late 1800's until the early 1930's you'll see these

kids having pink peeling skin on their hands and feet, in addition

to neurological issues that look similar to autism.

If you see a reaction with the hands and feet, my first thought

would be mercury excretion and it's probably a good think in the

long run. If it was caused by Valtrex and an antifungal together...

if that were my child I would carefully push forward (and stay in

touch with your DAN! doctor considering you would also likely

benefit with some supplementation to raise glutathione levels).

Assuming you are washing off the blue coating... I doubt it is an

actual allergy to the therapy. More of a reaction to what you are

mobilizing... which is better coming out of the body than staying in

if you ask me.

Just my opinion.
