Hi, my daughter as quite a few of you know, has Behcets disease, she is on cyclosporine which today the dose has been made higher, because its a drug that supresses the immune system she is now getting outbreaks of herpes every month, where she was only getting them occasionally, does anyone know if there is anything she can do to stop getting the outbreaks so often, as she has to stay on the medication permanatly. Thank you.

Hi I suffer from coldsores and have recently invested in the Virulite Cold Sore Device after reading all the excellent reviews. 'Touch Wood' its working so far!! Its on offer from Lloyds pharmacy (have a look on their website) for £19.99 - well worth it :)

Thank you for that, but would she be able to use it down below?
I think you need to get back to your doctor, tamirra - I didn't realise that the herpes was in the personal areas. Alternatively you could ask a friendly pharmacist, they will know and you can do that tomorrow, rather than wait for a GP appt.
Oh ....... didnt realise she had it there! No I dont think so - you could ask your Dr though as you are able to get it on prescription.

Yes boxtops, its not as bad now as it was when she first contracted it, but just more frequent, we had hospital today with my daughter and she was going to mention it, but i think embarressment got in the way and she came out without saying anything, so it will probally have to be me again that asks the chemist. xx
a word with the pharmacist yes. they are very helpful and knowlegable.
