Valtrex (valacyclovir) "I can't say enough about this medication. The quality of my life is greatly improved: neuropathy, fatigue, low body temperature and heat tolerance. The only side effect I have is that I get more dizzy if I get up quickly from a squatting position."

"I have been taking Valtrex for symptoms of MS for at least 5 years. When I first started taking it within 3 days I could go up steps with no problems. I feel I have greatly improved in strength and ability over those last 5 years. After so many years I started to wonder if it was really doing anything, so I stopped taking it when my prescription ran out. Two weeks later I was having some pain in my legs, even while relaxing, and could barely get up out of a chair. So, I took one of my few remaining Valtrex (1 500 mg per day). It worked! Within a 24 hour period I had no trouble getting out of a chair again. Not only that but my MS symptoms have remained stable for the past 5 years while taking Valtrex. It works for me."
