The medicine does what it's supposed to. Prevent new lesions from forming. I have small children and I had to stop in order to feel well enough to take care of them and have fun with them.

Advice & Tips
All of the side effects are slight when taking Ibuprofen at the time of injection. I take the shot around 5pm so that I feel good when I wake up in the morning. I don't notice any of the side effects in the morning, unless I don't take the Ibuprofen, and then I suffer from chills and wake up sweating about 3am.

Advice & Tips
Its always harder when you're starting, I think the side-effects are more agressive, but whenever you get your rythm things will start to get better. It has worked really well for me since I've been doing my life normally since I started taking my meds.
