COLD
SORES & CFIDS
I hate
cold sores, don't you???!!!! I've been getting them all of my adult life -
first around the lips and now on my nose! Aaarggh!!!!! They are huge and
ugly! I usually get
them from too much stress, getting run down, too much sunshine, or when battling
a viral illness. I have
tried the following remedies with varying success--
L-Lysine
Acyclovir
Zovirax
Nail Polish Remover
Hydrogen Peroxide
Rubbing Alcohol
Essential Oils
Ice Cube
Blow Dryer
Zinc
Tetrasil Ointment
However, this past month
I found two things that work better for me than anything else I have
tried so far--
Carmex (cheap - about $1 at
Walmart) and
Releev ($19.99 at
Walgreens).
Both seem to work pretty well, and I am just
delighted!
I also found that I can't have ANY
walnuts (too much arginine?) and I do best to limit chocolate and citrus.
Hope this helps someone else who battles
these awful, disfiguring sores!
