my doctor won’t prescribe me Valtrex because I am asymptomatic. I’ve tried my primary as well as my OB/GYN, and neither will prescribe without an active outbreak that they’ve seen in person. I told them separately that it’s preventative and mention shedding but they say it’s highly unlikely and won’t do it.
Is there anywhere else I can go?
My doctor prescribed me a methylprednisolone steroid pack for some pain I’m having and I just looked it up and apparently it lowers your immune system and allows for higher risk of viral shedding. For reference I have OHSV1, asymptomatic.
this weekend someone’s coming over on Saturday and staying until Sunday and I can’t cancel but I REALLY want to now, because they don’t know 😞. They’re traveling to get here. my doctor won’t prescribe me Valtrex because I don’t have active outbreaks and even if I were to get it today, I only have three days, where I would need five for it to completely stop the risk of shedding.
I’m going to stop the steroid pack today.
And if I tell this person they absolutely will not talk to me anymore I’ve heard them speak about NBA youngboy and other people who have it so I’m sure I’ll get dragged to hell and then left
So I’m fucked! And miserable. All because I shared a fucking chapstick 4 years ago.
