Ok so I've been a sufferer for about 4 years, and i don't know how i got it because I didn't get my first kiss till i was 20 (i know...), so i must have gotten it from someone i probably shared a drink with (which makes it even worse, now was it Trina, Anthony or Rob?? jk),
so i'm having an outbreak right now and it's just ridicolous because i had one last week which was slowly going away and now i'm having another one and it seems to be a real severe one too and i've been trying out www.neveranoubreak.com which is a method using dmso, liquid oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. i'm really giving it a go this time because i seem to always have these nasty oubreaks for no reason!!
what i found to help me in the past was:
1 glass of redwine + dabbing the area with redwine (only works b4 blisters start forming)
2. icing the area (only works b4 blisters start forming, or it'll prevent more from forming)
3. earwax, as gross as this sounds, earwax actually works wonders (google it)
4. hydrogen peroxide on the area (soak a cotton balll with it and leave it on for 20 min)
supplements:
1. garlic
2. red marine algae (sp?) too lazy to look for bottle to check
3. lysine tabs (up to 3000mg during outbreak)
avoid the following to avoid frequent outbreaks::
soda
basically any snacks
anything containing the ingredient aspartme
chocolate
artificial sweeteners
peanuts
the only problem is i always notice the outbreak too late so now im sitting with a cotton swab on my lips as im writing this lol.
so ladies, what are some of the things that you've found to be helpful? |
