@ Lestat, I already carry the virus for cold sores for at least forty years. Since I use L-Lysine on a regular basis I've only had relatively mild outbreaks, and only after forgetting to take that L-Lysine for a few weeks in a row.
Used to get them lots. 15 times a year was no exception.
I knew what I had to trade. Have not had the L-Lysine for a long time now, I forget to take it, because I cannot take stuff with the antibiotics I start with in the morning and forget to take stuff later in the day. May have a mild cold sore on my jaw right now. Not completely sure, but feels like it. Wonder if Odeon got my killer headache and upset intestines.
