Suggest Treatment For Genital Herpes
Question: In 2003 I was diagnosed with genital herpes.
I am very fortunate that I do not have many outbreaks annually I may have one outbreak every two years. I've been in a committed relationship for 9 years now and I also take 500 milligrams of Valtrex everyday. I have my medical records an every couple years I usually go and get a standard blood test to check my cholesterol my levels and make sure that everything is okay with taking this pill everyday. I have never had any abnormalities I exercise 4 days a week and feel very healthy. The problem that I have right now is that my doctor for the last 13 years has retired and the pharmacy is not refilling my prescription. Is there a way I can have a consultation in order to have someone help me refill my prescriptions monthly. I can request my medical records for you to view.
Please let me know if this is something you can help me with.
Thank you very much XXXXXXX
