Started the drug about 72 hours after outbreak of rash and swelling around my eye. I felt tired and had horrible sinus-type headache for the first two days - use and ice bag! Felt better by day 4 and rash has not spread and swelling has gone down. I did experience some heart palpitations at times and some dizziness, but not enough to make me stop taking it.

I am happy that it appears to have stopped the spread of the virus.

started meds within 1 day of diagnosis. Pain left shoulder blade, rib area and left breast. Really helped with pain, itching and numbness. But I am really tired but work 40hrs/wk anyway. Much better after 4 days of treatment but still tired, some nausea and headache. Overall pleased with medication.

Within a week, the pain and itching was basically gone, and the rash had scabbed over and cleared up. I did suffer a constant headache,pretty steady nausea, and felt pretty tired and out of it, but it was wo ... Show Full Comment

Starting taking the first day I had red bumps on my rt shoulder blade and pain. By day 3 the pain had lessened and the red bumps were already decreasing. I am currently on day 4 - still getting better but I have a constant headache and strong bouts of nausea from the meds. I will be glad when I'm done with it.

Very easy once I received meds from pharmacy! They had to order them in, took them 1.5 days to get them in so I was 1.5 days behind my treatment. The pain and growth got the jump on me- had them along my right side of neck, shoulder, down to my chest.
