My HSV2 symptoms are generally exactly what you describe - a whole body feeling often like a mild sunburn. It's centered around my cervical and pelvic nerve ganglions mostly though it sometimes radiates to my back or chest. However in my case the Valtrex makes all the symptoms go away, so it's sort of the exact opposite of what your indicating. Are you saying that if you stop Valtrex completely all those symptoms disappear?
