[Worse with Valtrex]

Thank you for your response! I’m going to talk to my doctor about the alternative antiviral to see if it will help. 

[Worse with Valtrex]

Has anyone has worsening of symptoms with Valtrex? I have GHSV1. I get tingling, itching, and twinges in my groin, butt, and down my legs and even in my arms sometimes. I’ve tried taking Valtrex with hopes of things subsiding (because im afraid of having a major outbreak) but my vagina and groin area is on fire and so irritated after taking it. Anyone else ever experienced this? I don’t know what else to do and don’t really have another antiviral option since acyclovir is basically the same as Valtrex. I take lysine daily.
