Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 So confusing about whether all this is actually die off. My grandson was taking Famvir 250mg./ twice a day. Starting Feb 25 the famvir was inc. to now 500mg a.m. 500mg noon 625mg. before bed.Since. first 4 days no change, then irritable, out not focused, not sleeping, eating.Had another few good days happy eating sleeping, focused then now really not doing well. Now in addition pressing his eyes told ST his eyes hurt. One reason for the inc. in famvir he has had difficulties with bright lights Dr. said this could be viral. There was a question about test the techs used a different test kit his HHV6 was 3.8 now this last one came back 34.2. Very concerned about all this. My daughter is trying to find out details. Question: Has anyone have die off come & go? And has anyone have the eye pain or light senstivity? Thank goodness this wk. he is out of school for spring break this has been the only recent change. Thanks Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so nice to see him happy wanting to relate with us now. I guess I thought it was so strange when the die off stopped for 4 days he did so good on those days then die off started again. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them while on famvir? Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
