I have 5 cold sores on my upper lip. Haven't been out of bed all day. My laptop is keeping me warm. I feel pretty. :ack:
Peaches.... when we run into cold sore time, we start taking lysine..500 mg tablets. 2 the day I stat feeling the underlying bump and then one a day for a week..runs them things away..
Another good thing is Vitamin C. When I was pregnant with Short one I would get them every so often and my Doc would tell me to take C.
I take Lysine and vitamin C every day of my life! This is just nuts. Can't imagine how bad it would be otherwise. I will take MORE. Thanks, guys.
Have your doctor do two things... First, you need a standing prescription for Valtrex. As soon as you start feeling the bump come up, start popping those pills. It truly does help. Secondly, have your doctor write you a script for Zovirax. It's a topical cream that will also help it. If you have him write it in chapstick form, Lance at Medicap can blend it into a chapstick for you so it's easier to apply. I feel your pain girl. I get them alot. When I'm sick, stressed, PMSng, in the sun, etc....
This is my new favorite song! http://music.aol.com/video/it-wont-be-like-this-for-long-sessions/darius-rucker/2235374
Hydromet 5-1.5/5 is what I'm on (it's awesome) plus Mucinex, plus Nyquil, plus Penacillin (sp), plus Tylenol nighttime pills, plus ibuprofin for a headache that's lasted since Monday. I've seriously been f'd up for 4 days straight :mrgreen: Without alcohol!
After all that, I hope you're feeling better! I'm only on one thing now; a nasal spray. I've quit all the other drugs they've given me, nothing's worked! I'm so tired of this, I just want to cry! :cry: Seriously, someone better find something wrong and fix it soon, or I'm gonna go postal! I can't take it anymore, and my family is ready to get rid of me, just so they don't have to listen to it anymore...I can't blame them.
Ask your DR about the Hydromet, it's good stuff! (when taken on an empty stomach) :mrgreen: Pepper, you need a step stool to get in a car. :lol:
I don't need something to stop my coughing, I need to find out WHY I'm coughing! She gave me a prescription for cough med if I really want to take it, but I haven't yet. I want to know on my own if I'm getting any better, don't want to think it is, and find out it's just the cough medicine. It's been 3 months now, and yesterday I thought I was going to die. I've looked it up online at a ton of websites, and everything says the same stuff, all the stuff they've already checked me/treated me for. I can not WAIT for my ENT appt next Thursday!
I wish someone would just show up at my door and say, "Hi, we like your house, could we buy it please?" I DO NOT want to go thru the hassle of staging and showings! Grr!! Anybody looking to buy a nice starter house with a pool? LOL
You can have mine,..no not in the biblical sense... in the I really don't want what I got in the trunk sense. Yes the kids got me a step stool. Almost broke a leg when I got up to pee in the middl eof the night. I forgot it was such a drop. ARRRGGGHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh. thud.
