Antivirals UK

Hi

I'm putting this out to any members based in the UK.

Has anyone had success in getting a prescription for Antivirals from their GP or ENT based on Dr. Gacek's paper?

I had a brief chat with my GP about it and he appears reluctant to even consider it

 

Thanks for the replies so far

I was diagnosed with Menieres in my right ear just over 2 years ago

To date I have had 6 really bad vertigo attacks coupled with the bouts of vomitting - the last 3 of those being Jan 20, March 20 and June 20. And no attacks since - so well over a year since my last one.

In that time I have not altered my diet in any way or am I taking Serc which I was initally prescribed.

My only real problem over the last few years has been the tinnitus in my right ear which has been relentless - up and down. 2 days really really bad then 2 days at a manageable level. Always spiking during the small hours.

However I would say the last week or so I feel my good left ear doesn't feel right in the sense there is frequencies missing and bouts of tinnitus which come and go. It just feels off.

Could this be me going bilateral? Do I get on monolaurin or one of the other herbs asap? I suspect I won't be given acyclovir by my GP staright away. Also how do they test for bilateral?

Thanks

 

Hi Marta

Can you link the site please?

I found this one which sells olive leaf but no acyclovir

and this one which I don't see any option to buy anything
Herpes Help • Herpes Help Blog

 

Is it possible for Menieres to trigger some hearing loss in your good ear even without a vertigo attack?

I have been under an imense amout of stress recently and I am thinking this may have triggered some SSHL

Would it be wise to get to my GP and ask for prednisone.

 

looking for a multivitamin with elevated levels of the B vitamins in the UK and unable to locate anything.

Looked on amazon etc and they are all very low

Any help appreciated
