I had a severe case of shingles 5 years ago.......I am on methotrexate and plaquenil for RA I was on Orenicia infusion but taken off due to pneumonia in April.....but still getting outbreaks of shingles......I have been on 500 mg of valcyclovir a day for several years......but the PA at my rheumatologist now wants me to take 1000 mgs 3 times a day for a few days to see if I can get rid of these outbreaks.....does that sound like a good plan? any potential side effects?
