acyclovir and kidney care
I have follicular lymphoma. I’m not interested in taking acyclovir as I was born with only one kidney. I’m wondering if anyone knows of an antiviral that doesn’t harm the renal function that can replace acyclovir? thank you.

One year stem cell transplant anniversary
This week a year ago I received my donor's stem cells. For those of you not following my posts, it was hard going in the early months but by late June things were looking a lot better both mentally and physically and my hair started its return.. My platelets were one of the slowest things to recover

Hello, I was diagnosed with CLL back in Nov 2022 and was on the O&V treatment plan. I finished the O in May 2023 but continued with the V, levofloxacin and acyclovir for the rest of the year and my blood counts were good and neutrophils count was good. My blood tests in Dec were all normal and my

internal shingles
hi, I’ve been diagnosed with internal shingles and it’s the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I’m on my last day of Aciclovir, I’m taking paracetamol and codeine during the day and 3 amitriptyline at night, this has been going on for over a week. Is this normal? Any advice gladly accepted

Shingles
Yesterday I had a headache and sore throat, and unusually a bit of a chilly feeling, this morning the rash is back. Same as before but not as bad so the GP was right the Shingrex vaccine is not that effective but it’s better than nothing. At he said 74% at least it provides protection for the majority

GCA, varicella zoster and PMR?
I found the referenced paper (provenance unclear) fascinating. Does anyone know of the use of acyclovir to treat GCA or PMR? I couldn't find anything in the search tool. I know there is speculation about a virus as the cause of these related diseases, but I didn't think a virus had been identified. This

Brukinsa/Zanubrutinib slow working at present time
I started treatment in early May with Zanubrutinib but because of severe stomach pain with it and acyclovir stopped it after 6 weeks so that an endoscopy could be done. Wbc started at 212,000 and went up to 300,000 in 2 1/2 weeks. 2 weeks later down to 165,000. The time off was almost 3 weeks. Started

Shingles
My husband has had really bad shingles for two weeks now, the rash is clearing up however he's still in terrible pain, he was given Acyclovir and he's taking co-codamol for the pain. He's on 200mg venetoclax daily, he had to drop his dose as he wasn't tolerating 400mg daily, he will be two years on venetoclax

Shingles - does anyone have any advice?
morning all It’s been quite a ride…my ear started bothering me a bit on Monday . Just a small uptick in tinnitus which I tried to ignore. By Tuesday I was a bit worried because I have had total hearing loss in the past due to auto immune attack which was only (partially) restored due to mega doses of

This one is a bit "left field" but here goes...
"Can any one hear me", says the Robin? OK! Infatuation with Robins aside... After my spectacular successful knee replacement I decide to buy myself a new mountain bike. BUT... bear with me... I have been 5yrs remission since FCR, Lymphocyte count 0.7 so on prophylactic Aciclovir (against Herpes infection

Valtrex vs Acyclovir
I have been taking valtrex when ever I get an outbreak. But lately I get rid of one outbreak another comes . Would it help if I switch to acyclovir to see if this works better ? Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thoughts on Chickenpox
I was with my daughter and grandson this morning and she mentioned Chickenpox was going around. A bit worrying I thought, so best take evasive action having had shingles a few years ago. Reading the NHS website it states shingles cannot be caught from Chickenpox, however I wonder if that includes

Shingles on face and head with CLL
Hi everyone, I am on the Flair trial but have been off treatment for 18 months +. I have Shingles on my face and head and have been prescribed acyclovir over the phone which I am taking. The question is whether anything else can be done to speed recovery. On 11th April I am doing a fairly gruelling

POST-HERPETIC NEURALGIA
Hi, first time on here and hopefully might find some advice, if not it might prompt some to ensure they get the appropriate shingles vaccine. I was diagnosed with CLL in 2014 with my first round treatment in 2017. This went reasonably well and I then went 4 years before it was decided that I would need

I think, I get over Behçet disease.
Hello, I'm Josaphat from Madagascar. My first symptom for Behçet disease appeared in Mars 2020. I had sores in my mouth. After that It started to appear my genital. I consulted doctor for many times and they always suggested me to use either antibiotics or aciclovir. With time, my situation became worse
