Abreva

Do any of you suffer from cold sores (I do) Anyway - I got these coupons for a rebate up to $19.99 on the purchase of Abreva.  If you use the product and want the coupons let me know and I will mail you one (I have 7)  There is a limit of one per household and I dont know of anyone else who has cold sore issues. All you have to do is mail in the coupon with a reciept for the new Abreva pump and they will send you a check for up to 19.99 Being on their mailing list isnt so bad either - They sent me the product and the coupons!  LOL

I used to get cold sores ALL the time.  Whether it was from having my period, laying in the sun, stress, breathing...I'd get them.  I hated them, sometimes my lips were covered.  It was the last straw when I had one on my nose!!!  It was gross!!    Someone told me about the herbal supplement L-lysine.  It is an amino acid.  Since starting to take it, almost 8 years ago now,  I have been almost cold sore free.  When I do get them I get them a whole heck of a lot worse than before.  I take Lysine, loyally.

I used to use Zovirax but it didn't work nearly as well as Lysine.

 

stress will get me every time... LOL I may have to try L-lysine.  The abreva works very well to get them over and done quickly - and it helps with the pain (sometimes, if I catch them early enough they dont even get open) but I would much rather PREVENT them!

The sun does it to me. That's the only time I get them anymore.  I hate cold sores..They're horrible! Very painful!  I used to take Valtrex when I felt them coming on and that helped to get rid of them more quickly.. but i haven't used that in years.  I've learned to use SPF chapstick on my lips when going out in the soon. That always works. :)
