Yes Physician Asst., prescribed it.
Funny when I was young, I never ever read the side effect sheet that came with
Meds.
I’ll try the Burt’s Bees.
Maybe I have a B-12 deficiency….
Wow you had a bone marrow transplant, very happy for you!
Sounds like you’re doing well.
Had a schooling in that area 13 yrs ago.
Wife had AML, 4 rounds, 3 diff Chemos, it always came back, couldn’t stay clean for 3
months, In her case a transplant was not an option for her.
So I can relate to part of your
Journey, and know that you’re a very strong willed person!

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife’s AML journey and that she wasn’t able to have a transplant to help keep her in remission. AML is sure a formidable beast. It was my enemy too and so far, touch wood, I’m 3 years post transplant and my doctors are optimist…me too! Most days I feel as though none of this ever happened. And then I get cocky and need a couple days to recoup. LOL.
It’s certainly been an experience like no other and now that I’m on the other side, I do my best to help other people along that journey to let them know the battle is worth the effort. And you’re right, I am a strong willed person. We never know how strong we can be until strong is the only option. 🙃
Wishing you well in dry lip situation. There can be a correlation between dry lips and vitamin B-12 and zinc deficiency. Here are a couple of websites for zinc and Vit B-rich foods.

Also sun damage can be a culprit along with not hydrating enough. I have a feeling you live in Hawaii. 😎 So sun protection and drinking more water might help out too!
Let me know if these suggestions work for you, ok?
