@uncledrew Hi, I just read your comment that said ‘take valtrex’. What is valtrex and what does it do? Have you had shingles? My doctor says I can’t for now. Were you at a good place with your disease? I just further and found that valtrex Is a drug for shingles! But I enjoyed meeting you!

@becsbuddy Valtrex is prescribed for shingles outbreak, but it has to be started 72 hours or earlier to be effective. Still have to go through the pain and discomfort - sometimes for several weeks - but the intensity is somewhat eased.
