Oh dang if you are taking valcyclovir i am sorry! I take it for feverblister when they get bad on me. That mess will dry you up so bad! So make sure to drink TONS while on t if that is what you are taking. It IS great stuff but man cotton mouth from hellllllo.
I'm not sure. My doctor said it can take 6 weeks (or more) to clear. I know it hard to transmit it to other humans but I'm taking a lot of precautions to keep from giving it to any other critter or human.
I sure hope I'm going to be immune. This is so painful. I don't want it ever again. And now I will be more diligent in using gloves when shoveling goat manure. None of my goats have a current outbreak but it can live for years in our soil and manure here in the tropics (no freezes) so that's likely how I contracted it.
Today is the first day since September 6th that it doesn’t look the same or worse. It might be a little better. Hard to tell for sure. I even keep a daily photo diary of the sore. But I think it looks a little better. Still hurts like the dickens.
Its runs in the Boer breed I read. We had a little one we bought come down with it. We had to disinfect EVERYTHING to save our other animals from getting it. Turned out her mom was a carrier and the other 2 kids came down with it as well.
Sounds as bad as shingles. Hope you're feeling better soon!
