Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi again I still wonder if it may be worth the try to take the Valtrex... not that I am pushing meds on you if you have weird reactions but I know that when my hubby took it they stopped spreading immediately ... he never took the full amount-he only took them for a few days them threw them out when they stopped spreading... I just worry for you that if they spread any farther or get any worse you may be in some real trouble.... I know I waited to go to the doctor for a while... the band started on my back (hurt for several days prior like hell with no mark whatsoever) then a little red spot then the blistery band started and spread all the way around my side and almost across my entire left breast... long story but when I went my doc yelled at me and said had I gone in earlier he could have stopped them before they got to my breast as I was breastfeeding my son then and had to stop on that side and pump and waste as I couldn't get him near them... it was awful. I wouldn't want yours to keep growing in the areas they are in if you get my drift.... if they get to far internal they could cause some nerve damage and affect personal relationships, etc....not wanting to get too gross there but I am sure you get my point. I know w/ my chicken pox so bad "there" I actually have scars w/ hard scar tissue inside that feel weird. Of course I have those scars everywhere - little hard bumps from the pox but those are irritating.... Hopefully Patty's oil suggestion will give you some relief!! sheesh I feel bad as I was in a bad mood this morning as I have a headache... I will stop that now as things could be a lot worse. I hope you feel better soon!!! love shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's ok Shari. I appreciate the advice. I dropped off the prescriptions but haven't picked them up yet. I don't think it's spreading anymore, at least it hasn't in a couple days now. I can't imagine how awful this would be if it were closer to the inside rather than where it is. I guess things could be worse and I need to be thankful that they aren't. hugs, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
