Re: Re: Acyclovir Vs. Famvir

If you haven't tried Medicaid (seems like you did if I

remember), call to find out if your state has the

Beckett (not sure of the spelling) law as

someone suggested.

I called and mine doesn't. Maybe I should move a

couple of hours away to the next state, which does.

Good luck-and don't stop asking until you get your

needs met. There is a way, and sometimes it manifests

when least expected.

Thanks everyone! I have to go on a training weekend for all parents

going on the 4th grade field trip this year. As soon as I get back I'm

going to start working on this. Thanks for giving me hope. It's amazing

how easily I fall into despair these days. I got some more Famvir and

put my son on it. Dr G wants to try again during Christmas break to see

exactly what it's doing, he said he needs to be on it for at least 21

days but I couldn't stand to see the damage at school from this. He

seems to be better now that he is on his third day of Famvir but still

way off from where he was. Thanks again to everyone, Jerri
