      From jady May 1

      here's the deal. my pharmicist told me if he were me....he would stay on a low dose of anti virals. so i talked to dr about it and they gave me a three month supply of a lower dose. kind of like a maint. dose. i DID NOT WANT ANY OF THIS COMING BACK. i am sure you agree. i also used the lidoderm patches. they did help. and what really helped the pain is neurotin. an anti convulsant which i am already on for another condition, TN. so i would ask for a little more support. blessings for healing jady
