ICE ICE Baby?
Question: I've had the virus (1 orally) almost two months. While I have not had any full blown outbreaks since the intial outbreak from hell, I have experienced some prodrome symptoms (nothing like the original though). I'm not sure if its just me starting to be a hypocondriac, but any time i sense a tingle, itch or irregularity (redness, the first outbreak left a nice scar that seems to become more visibile from time to time) in my lips I grab an ice cube and press to my lips until it melts (about 5 min). I then swab with alcohol, then abreva, then Quantum Super Lysine Ointment. I also will start upping my intake of L-Lysine (Quantum Immune Boost) and then drink tons of water. In each instance (3 times) i have forced the outbreak to retreat completely. Now, I admit, were these legit outbreaks?, or am I simply stressing myself into thinking i'm outbreaking...don't know.. Also, one of my most obvious prodrome symptoms I think were induced by smoking weed (i hardly ever smoke) and the ensuing munchies led me to eat some chocolate chips. Either this combo forced me into a weird anxiety type outbreak or it really had an ill efect who knows...but I think my days of puffing the sweet cheeba are done.. This constant vigilant/combatant attitude, while it seems to work, wears you the fuck out...but atleast I'm not sporting sores on my lips, and i'm not pumping my body full of antivirals... I highly reccomend the ice, It seems to create an environment hostile to the virus with very quick real results, and ice is usually always within reach...hope it works for some of you people out there:) peas:) Answer: where did you find the lysine ointment?
