Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi, I'm new to the list. My child is also 10 years old. Did you see a lot of regression with your child? Has there been anyone on this list that has a child fully recovered who was 10 when he recovered? Thanks for responding Re: Valtrex and older children > > >> >> Has anyone used the Valtrex with an older child? My daughter is 12 >> years old.
