3 yrs of antivirals....

Blakeh, I have not used Teva brand but have had a couple of duds in my time until landing on Northstar. Your prescribing physician can dictate that it must be Northstar brand. Not sure where you live, but the Acme Supermarket pharmacy (Savon) seems to carry exclusively Northstar brand. At least for the past couple of years.

Also, I recently read a thread here where some people have ditched the pharmaceuticals and are attacking the virus with Monolaurin and Lysine. You may want to give that a shot along with the rest of the JOH regimen.

Best of luck.

 

$800 a month? Is that with health insurance?

I ask because I am going to try to get my family doctor to prescribe me an antiviral. I have not looked into costs with my insurance, which is generally pretty good.

 

That was the problem for me too. I have good insurance but to get the name brand, even with the online coupon, would be almost $ 800 a month.

Whenever I got generic was always mylan...which from this forum and the internet is a dud. I did not find that out until I had already got it.

I read somewhere on the forum that famvir generic has less problems than Valtex generic, after I finish my other regimes, maybe I will try that...

Please keep us posted on if you are able to get a good, not expensive, generic.

 

I take Famvir and have max dose for 3 years. It’s northstar. I pay cash and it’s around $150/month. Local pharmacy.

I have a few flare ups a year. Between 1-3. They last around a week. Otherwise I feel much better than pre mm. I don’t know why I still have the flares. I will try to add a few supplements to see if I can get rid of them. And allergy treatments.

 

I think sometimes permanent damage has been done and our best outcome is to keepmit from getting worse and spreading to another ear.
