Reply To: PCR swab timing and Acyclovir antiviral

[Hopingforanswers123]

Hi Terri,

Thanks again for your help.

I regret to admit that I haven’t had the guts to come off the antivirals yet. I see spots on my clitoris, and I’m terrified of the pain and spreading of sores that might happen if I stop taking the meds before the spots are gone.

Is there any chance we can have a consultation and I can show you photos? I know it’s really hard to diagnose by photo alone, but I really need some sound advice and peace of mind, prior to taking this leap.

I also wonder what harm might be done if I just continue taking the antivirals from now on, if it’s keeping the sores to a minimum (they seem to show up one every week or two, but they are so tiny they go away pretty fast without causing a lot of pain).

Thanks again for all of your help.
