Herpes Simplex, Suppression
"When I get stressed, drink lots of alcohol or even go in the sun I&#039;m almost guaranteed a cold sore. Unlike most people I don&#039;t feel an itch it just pops out of nowhere. I take about 5000-8000mg the first time I notice it and it definitely reduces the size! Then I decrease the dosage slowly. I find it does make them go away faster and the nasty blister stage isn&#039;t so nasty anymore. Maybe if I could catch it in time I wouldn&#039;t have them because lysine works!!"
