1. My mom said I’ve never had any cold sores or anything since childhood, and I don’t remember if I had any in my adulthood either. Should I do another test after four weeks to confirm which type I got? Or do you think it’s unnecessary since I’ve already tested positive for type 1?

2. I realize that Valacyclovir has many side effects on me such as anxiety, emptiness, and rashes on my body, so should I stop taking it? I’ve been taking 1GM three times a day for 5 days. I just feel too bad taking it.

Thank you! Terri, and hope you are having a great holiday.
