| 3 | Herpes around spread into in my eye | Migraine grade headaches, dry throat, dizziness, tired, people say I seem spaced out. | I started out on Acyclovir 400mg 5 times a day, but it didn't seem to help (I also kept forgetting to take a pill here or there) I had another out break about a month after. My doc then prescribed the Valtrex 1gm 3 times a day (the outbreak only lasted a week) but since they gave me really bad headaches and dizziness for the first whole week I started taking 2 a day instead. I just started feeling it coming back in my eye so I'm gonna try 3 times a day again. I am under sooo much stress lately and the outbreaks cause more stress which causes more outbreaks. | F | 24 | 1 months 1 GM 3X D | 4/3/2010 | |
