I know that I'm going to take a beating on this....

Those of you that suffer from them what do you use to get thru them quick.

I had tried all sorts of stuff but usually end up back with Carmex. The new thing is Aveeno stuff with propolis but I don't have any idea how its working yet.

Go to your Dr and get an anti-viral. They are relatively cheap and work the best. Not going to help with one you already have but will prevent them from developing in the future.

Axel Foley: Tell Victor that Ramon - -the fella he met about a week ago? - -tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today, and I found out that I have, um, herpes simplex 10, and I think Victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine before things start falling off on the man.

Man I hate those damn things. Seems to me though that once you get one, nothing is going to make it go away any faster.

That Abreva stuff tends to help quite a bit I've found.

Additionally, Lysine supplements with vitamin C will help you heal them a bit quicker and prevent them a little better.

I usually take a chunk of salt and stick on it till I'm crying pretty bad. Seems to help for me.

Why not just burn it off with a heated butter knife?

Hrmm I've actually only ever done that with a Spoon. Here I thought you would have surely tried doing it with a spoon.

I've done a lot of research on this and it definitely seems to help. Also many foods have large amounts of the amino acid Arginine and not much Lysine can trigger cold sores. Nuts and shellfish seem to be the big hitters to avoid.

Morphine and Bourbon.
It will not help your Herpes face get better, but you will not care about it anymore.

Hrm, I knew Lysine worked by binding the virus (so to speak) within the nerve sheath, but I did not know that arginine had a catalystic effect on breakouts. Something to add to the old brainnotes.

Stress can also be a major cause of them as well. I've noticed that a cold sore is a huge indicator of how stressed I am.

I don't do EVERYTHING with a spoon, just the things that require scraping or something like that.

Yeah lack of sleep, stress, caffeine, and fever seem to be triggers.

Ruh Roh.....

That might explain the last one then....Lack of sleep due to stress leads to excessive caffeine consumption....hrm.
