Aciclovir 2015-01-22 Person 5 5 0

I was very late being put onto Aciclovir as my shingles was well advanced before I saw the Doctor. Because I have CLL the Doctor decided to prescribe Aciclovir although later than normal, it was still extremely effective in stopping any new lesions developing. Despite considerable scarring, which may be permanent, the pain is reducing rapidly. Taking Aciclovir was a great relief. Had I been allowed to receive the shingles vaccine when I asked for it, in September, I might well have avoided this second attack of shingles in two years, but I have no complaints about the Aciclovir.
