I am having herpes for the past one and half months. Had regular consultation with a leding skin specialist. Was om intense medication intially like travexal 500, valeve 1000, pepiflam, gopan dsr, pregablin 300, and ointments including calamin in this period. Though the pain at the hip region where the main problem exists, it is sill paining considerably, and I am not able to evn wear a banian or shirt and pant. With the result I am fully stucuk at home. At present I am only taking pregablin300, and dont'know how long this will continue. At sleep I have to sleep on one side only. In view of this, I am not able to meet anybody. My wife has to do all the outside work including shopping since we live alnoe. This is a depressing situation. I really neeed some advice on better medication and ointmnt, and advice as to how to keep cool, since, it seems it will take 3 to 4 months for me to get cured, and it is a hopelss situation. Thanking you profusely and with very best wishes.
