noticed it yesterday night. My eyeliid aching and red, and I got the start of a rash around my left down to my checkbone. I ran out today for a refill on my huge-ass anti viral pills.
I mean, I got these before I started having any holes in my vision, but I hate that I'm back to stinging, burning eye pain.
Keep ice around. it helps a bit
is there anyway to boost your own immune system, would that even help?

I'm taking vitamins, drinking tea, and having lots of fruit and vegetables. I'm not sure if its really helping. I'm on 1 gram of valtrex 3/day and 1 drop of steroid drops every 2 hours. my doctor's treating this pretty aggressively.
The thing about this is, I can tell the rash has some sort of travel path and my eye happened to be in its path. if it would move on from inside my eye socket then I might not need to bother with all this.
Yikes that sounds rough. I hope that it heals well
