Working still!

[bwaite]

Hello everyone sorry I haven't checked in awhile. Still working

2 months now! Very tired but

happier. Only problem I have

Coldsores in my nose and lips!

Anyone else get this???

[lou60]

Sounds like you have become a little run down to me I would get an appointment to maybe check this out, usually get this if I do too much still learning the pacing thing there is an art to it apparently. Wishing you well. x Lou

Thanx Lou I agree! It's so

hard to try to balance everything. I'm trying, thanks

for your support! X

Hi bwaite

I am so sorry to read that you are feeling under the weather, and as lou60 says, it does sound like you are run down? Mind you, you really are doing well work wise? And I genuinely hope that you feel very pleased with yourself?

I sincerely hope that you start to feel better soon and good luck with work!

All my hopes and dreams for you

Thank you ken! I just keep on

going. Taking it easy on weekends.

Hope all is well with you. X

Try homeopathic Rhus Tox for cold sores.

Thank you for your advice! X

So pleased to hear that you are coping with work... it gives us a sense of "self worth" and social contact.

But go careful, because I always find my cold sores always flare up when I am under stress... try and take things a little easier.... remember to pace yourself. Xx

Thank you I will! X

I used to get that a lot, especially up my nose, so painful! the best advice I got from the health shop was to take a course of Lysine tablets which are anti viral and a cream to apply called Propolis. worked like magic and took away the pain the minute I put the gel on. Best of luck x

[bwaite]

Thank you Sesame awesome advice!

I will try this! X

Wonderful news that you afre still working and managing quite well. Sorry about the cold sores my job share partners used to both have them but it was always when they were either stressed or had overdone things so rest up as much as your job will allow.x

[bwaite]

Sorry your suffering the awful cold sores, I never used to get cold sores, though had about 3 in last 4 or 5 years, I always get aclivor cream, from my doctor, I carry it with me all the time, first sign of a tingle, I apply it on my lips, for inside nose, I use vaseline, small handbag size, which softens it to help clear when blowing my nose, after blowing my nose I re apply vaseline.works for me, hope ithelps Take Care x

[bwaite in reply to honor1a]

Thank you I will see if I can

get that cream. I'm on voltrex

Hopefully it will work soon! X

i get cold sores all the time and as silly as it sounds you don't have to be run down the sun can trigger them I usually get them as soon as i go away didn't know why but googled it to see why. When they clear up get a good lip balm with uv protection and see if that helps Alsoi was advised try to have 2 satsumas or tangerines a day its supposed to be really effective at preventing colds. Hope This will help as I know how painful they are

[bwaite]

Thank you Joanne im pretty sure

It the sun. I always use SPF 30 on

my lips. Guess it didn't work!

Thank you for the advice! X

Hi I used to get this when fibro first diagnosed but since second bout of shingles I have not had any cold sores in two years , good luck hope you find a remedy that's better than shingles. X

Hi,

Yes, got one up my nose now. Take lysine. One tablet a day to prevent (which I haven't been taking!) and then I take three a day when I have a tingle or outbreak.

I started taking lysine forgot

mine last nite too! Don't we

have enough to deal with

now coldsores???? Thank

you for replying ! X

[bwaite]

Thank you Albert ! But I had shingles

in my eye once. It just seem that

coldsores have gotten worse for

some reason. X

When I would start out at a rheumatologist, I remember dryness and sores to nose and mouth being questions that they would ask. I am thinking this could be symptomatic of an autoimmune disease. Do you see a rheumatologist and if so, is he and aware of this recurrence? You should definitely mention it.

[bwaite]

I've always gotten coldsores part of

the herpes family. I don't see a

R/A but I have. I do believe it's an

autoimmune symptom I've also

have had herpes virus in my eye.

I take lysine it seems to help a bit.

There's also something called voltrex

but it bothers my stomach. Hope

this helped X.
