The med and lots of prayer from my church family has kept my discomfort at a minimum. No nerve pain and the itching no worse than the poison ivy I routinely get. The blisters are drying up and no new ones are forming. The rash on my sides and abdomen have never developed into blisters. I am so thankful for the prayers and for this drug. If you notice any itchy rash any where on your body, get to the Dr right away. Timing is important.

I have been taking this drug for 5 days and have 5 days left. My Dr. said I looked like I had shingles so they are treating me for this. I have noticed that the juice bumps (blisters) that I have are shrinking and drying up. The itching is down to a very minimum (only when my clothes rub on it). My pain was gone within a day. I wish the pill wasn't so big though. My rash is also gone, just lo ... Show Full Comment

Aloe vera (ensure no additives) for external use proved very helpful in conjunction with this prescription along with licorice (oral-aids antiviral). Drink plenty of water as does affect liver, etc...
