@sadpanda I'm extremely sensative to meds as well. When I went to the doctor about the issues I've was having she said I may need to use them episodicaly since I was having so many issues. I tried it and was thinking everything was the beginning of an ob so I just needed started back using the meds. Im to nervous to see what might happen without them I am really sensitive to meds too. Seems like everything gives me headaches. I'm definitely going to be trying some of the natural remedies I'm reading about on here.

Do you think it's possible that the stress is running your immune system down and that some of the symptoms you are experiencing is something else? I got headache and nausea with some of the medications but when you mentioned the cough and rattling feeling that is unusual? I do think stress is a factor in this. It may be something else but the timing is just weird because everything started immediately after taking the acyclovir. Since I've stopped taking anything the headache, nausea, fever and chills have stopped but the cough and rattling in my lungs is still there. I've never had that before and my throat doesn't hurt like it would if I had a regular cough or cold. Hopefully the doctor can help figure out what's going on.

Hello all. I was diagnosed with Hsv2 a little over a week ago. I was not showing any symptoms but wanted to get tested because after years of being single I had finally found a great guy I really liked and we had gone on a few great dates and things were heating up. I got tested and we ended up having sex before I got the results. If I had thought I had it I never would've done that. Two days ago I told him I have it and he was very understanding and nice but said it's to much for him to deal with. I think I may have had this for a long time but have either had very few outbreaks or didn't know I was having them. when my doctor gave me the diagnosis last week I wanted to do suppressive therapy in case the guy I was seeing was ok with it. I My doctor put me on acyclovir and I was immediately miserable. Within 24 hours I had a headache, nausea, chills, cough, and problems concentrating. I asked to try valacyclovir instead but I'm having the same problem. I stopped taking both since he doesn't want to see me anyway. The other side effects have stopped but I still have a really bad cough and rattling feeling in my lungs. And now to to it all off I'm having what I now know is a breakout. I'm confused now as to if the issues I'm experiencing are due to the breakout or the medication. I don't know what to do anymore. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday to discuss the medication issues but all of this has just been so unexpected and I'm emotionally drained. Two weeks ago I was happy and thought I had finally found someone I really connected with, got moved to an awesome new position at work. But now all I can think is that I'm 40 with a job where I work odd days and hours so dating had been hard enough already. Now I feel like it's going to be even that much harder to date when I'm ready again. And I may not be able to tolerate the medication even if I find someone nice again. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
