I've been getting cold sores monthly and worked out they happen about a week before my period. They seem to come up the morning after poor sleep. I'm 40 and this has been happening on and off for roughly 3 years. Anyone else noticed similar? If so, did anything work for you?
I did previously have aciclovir prescribed but only a small supply. I have also tried l-lysine and can't say that it worked.
Although cold sores seem very minor they do get me down as I have to be very aware when I have them to avoid spreading them to family. So any ideas gratefully received.
