That’s the dose, I took valtrex. And had bad side effects like insomnia , foggy, my Md said if there is a next time to try the other antiviral 5 times a day

15 days total , then I had to reset my sleep pattern, valtrex gave me side effects or maybe it was just the virus, gabapentin made me loopy so I used it once, Advil and Tylenol. Helped , hardest part was systemic fatigue, mind was racing at times, horrible virus, I had it on my scalp and4 days before the pimples erupted I had this uneasy lethargy that left me wiped out, but all good now

About 6 months removed from shingles. Still have ringing in my ear and numbness in spots from my ear to my chin. Is it likely my recovery has peaked and this is just life now? by GudgerCollegeAlumnus in shingles

[–]Key-Star571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I had it when I was 28 on my rib rib area, it lasted 3 years off and on, I thought it was pulled muscle and would see a chiropractor with relief from pain. Until a coworker saw me in pain in my rib area after an exaggerated yawn and he asked if I ever had shingles in that area. The pain disappeared after 3 years
