   Yep I feel your pain. Yes I also experienced the same although my attack may not have been as large as yours. I did get a preventive shot again, however later on I experinced a smaller attack for which I was given an anti-viral med, valcyclover, very effective. This year I got the shot and the reaction was quite painful for 3 days at the injection site. Found out I should get a booster within 2 month but my doctor could not access a supply. Now I am suppose I am to go thhrough the 2 injection routine again but frankly have low motivation. So happy to hear you are feeling better. However, you get a sense that another attack is occurring get that anti-viral med immediately within 24 hours, it stems the spread, a marvel of modern medicine.

      Hi Jeanne. I did get the antiviral within 48 hours of the outbreak. Can’t imagine what it would have been without it. Oh well, I hope your last two shots are without complication. Best wishes, Mike.
