crouchingtigress -> Cold Sores Begone! (7/22/2009 9:45:13 AM)

The necromanced thread on cold sores made me want to share something.

I have herpes and get outbreaks on my lips 5-6 times a year. I take lysine and that works, but you have to do that all the time, and it like valtrex is expensive.

One day I was in the health food store, and I saw "Cold sores begone" A little purple bottle with a badly drawn green wizard on it.

I thought 5 bucks, it cant hurt, but I really bought it thinking that there was no way it would help. I have used a lot of creams and what have you from the pharmacy and none of them work so I never thought this would.

But it has!

I have used it 3 times, just as that first tiny tingle comes up, and I don't get cold sores.

I thought I would share because statistically over 50 percent of those that are reading this suffer with HSV

And also because I wanted to ask if any one else has tried this product? Or know why it works? (maybe Pompeii)

walmart has acyclovir, the first generation HSV antiviral, on their $4/month plan---just ask your dr to write you a script!!

i use carmex and i get alot of cold sores due to sun exposures, someone drinking from my glass by mistake or a certain brand of lipstick.  No need to tell you that i keep a tube of Carmex in my purse.

I wish you luck :)

So... Perhaps I don't know too much about herpes but it seems like a very common incurable disease but.... Are there any other side effects other than a little cold sore? I mean, that doesn't seem to be a big deal, unless it is coupled with other complications. My sister has a friend who has it and she won't even go near her, in fear of contracting it! But it doesn't sound like its deadly. Maybe annoying?
