Thanks Shari. She prescribed Valtrex for me as well as Darvocet. I'm

just afraid to try either one because I react so bizzarely to

prescriptions. So far they haven't spread other than the three

patches. I have one huge patch on my outter labia, one on my anus, and

one on my buttock. I can't imagine having this in a worse place!!! I

think if it were aywhere else on my body I'd probably be able to

function. Right now I can barely walk, sit, lie down, or even stand. I

have been mostly lying on my back with my legs propped up. I have to

take benadryl to knock me out so I can get some sleep. The pain is so

bad I can't even sleep.

I'll let you know how I do over the next couple of days.
