Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host
"I pop one of these, &quot;Valtrex&quot; 1grm and not long after I notice a change in my cold sores.  AND I GET THEM BAD.  ....so bad that I can&#039;t eat things like chips, salty things, candy, etc. It&#039;s miserable.  If Valtrex didn&#039;t exist, I would be in quite a lot of pain and discomfort.   I carry extras in my locker at work in case an outbreak hits again."
