I really hope that Famvir is the best pain relief for shingles. Itching and pain were the first symptoms I have experienced and I must say that it is very, very annoying and makes me nervous. Anyway, doctor said that Famvir should be enough for this problem, I hope he is right. I really cannot stand this itching anymore, not to mention the fact that I am contagious!

Famvir is the medication that will surely help you. It works by fighting the virus directly, which enables the bodys immune system to react also. I know that this drug helped my friend when he had problems with herpes so I do not see any reason why it wouldnt work with you. There are some side effects, but I guess you could survive those in order to get rid of herpes.
