My brother sent me an email, telling me that he has come down with a bad case of the shingles again. Poor guy has had shingles a few times in the past couple of years – they are very painful. I’m really glad I’ve never had them! I was surprised to learn that his doctor gave him a prescription for Valtrex to treat shingles! I didn’t know that Valtrex could be used for that! I went to the Valtrex website and learned that it can be used to treat shingles and fever blisters! You learn something new every day!
