Thanks for the links. No, I'm not 100% sure but my ex husband and a
couple of boyfriends have never contracted it.

I am currently taking Famvir, 1000 mgs a day for the past 3 days. I tried
Valtrex before but it gave me a terrible headache so I hardly ever took it.
Famvir still gives me a headache but not nearly as bad. I pretty much have
only been using Zovirax cream up until now which has been all I needed. It's
not working anymore.

I'm a little concerned that it is something more serious that is causing my
immune system to weaken. Do you know anything about that? This is driving me
nuts. I'm scared to death of giving it to my boyfriend. We've been together
5 years and he hasn't gotten it yet but it was never this bad either. I tell
him I have it and he just says, no you don't. I'm trying to be very careful
but just when I think I'm safe wham, another one.

Thanks,
Tracey
