Cold sores strike when you are feeling stressed. The herpes virus hides in nerve endings and comes out to make the familiar mess of your face when you really least need it. Unfortunately you cannot get rid of them, but you can reduce the amount of time they are active. If you don't mind the white splodge of cream, Zovirax is a very effective treatment, specially if you apply it as soon as you feel the tingling that tells you the sore is erupting. The last couple of times I've had a cold sore (which I've had on and off since childhood) I've used Compeed patches. I prefer that the sore goes through its normal cycle (I think I was frightened at an impressionable age by a homeopathist ). The patches cover it up to a certain extent and it is not so much of an eyesore too. However, they do work out more expensive and you might need more than one pack for an outburst. You do waste a few working out how best to apply them.

At the risk of being too obvious avoid kissing and giving oral if you have a cold sore.

Hope it clears up soon. Plenty of vitamin C and healthy eating!

There you go then young man mile:

I meant to say Blistex and not Blisteze as it used to be called unlike Zoviraz you don't have to walk around with a white blob on your lips, just keep them moist with Blistex

A cold sore is an unsightly and often painful blister on the lips, caused by an infection from the virus Herpes Simplex 1. Cold sores occur when someone catches the virus however can often lie dormant. A tingling, burning sensation on the lip means a blister will appear within 24 hours.
The fluid filled blister usually breaks within the first few days but total healing can take up to ten days. It will be contagious as long as its visible (and occasionally beyond) and the sufferer must take care not to infect others, or re-infect themselves.
Known as cold sores as they often occur when a person has a cold, but other stress factors can also bring them on e.g. trauma, emotional distress, stomach upsets, periods, even too much sun. Often they have no obvious cause at all.
To prevent an outbreak of cold sores, take all possible steps to relieve stress, such as exercise, yoga, aromatherapy and a good diet.
Blistex Relief Cream can help as it keeps the skin moisturised and more resistant to outbreaks. If a blister does appear, the cream’s analgesic will help deal with the pain
top tips for cold sore free lips

• Avoid touching cold sores, as they are highly infectious.
  
• Keep your immune system strong by eating healthily and taking exercise.
  
• Minimise stress with calming activities such as yoga, pilates or meditation.
  
• Use a caring lip balm, everyday, to keep your lips as moisturised and protected as possible.
  
• When first symptoms of a cold sore arise apply a medicated cold sore cream, such as Blistex Relief Cream, to relieve discomfort.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]I found this book a number of years ago and highly recommend it. It mostly teaches one proper breathing methods (deep breathing) with long poses/stretches.

After going thru the book I joined a Yoga studio in San Francisco. I quickly learned that the beginners class was pretty advanced or rather a different school of Yoga thought I was doing OK in the class but on arriving for my fifth class I learned that the beginners teacher was unavailable and that I should go upstairs to the advanced class.

The room was HUGE and it seemed like there were a hundred people warming up in the most extreme positions There were some SUPER HOT men there in tiny shorts, bare chested doing one hand horizontal full body lifts (can you get a pic of that )

I knew that I was way out of my league but gave it the old school spirit. The teacher was informed that I was a beginner and was often near giving me advice on this or that. Needless to say the room got pretty steamy and I was sweating and my mat got wet and I slipped. I got up, shook myself off and got back into position.

OMG TOOK ME OVER TWO WEEKS TO GET OVER THAT PULL or whatever it was... when you get hurt in Yoga you really get hurt...

I love my little book: Yoga 28 Day Exercise Plan by Richard Hittleman
