We are all different so our reactions are not the same . After 3 1/2 months anastrozole destroyed my joints , bones and muscles . Stoped taking it 7 months ago and working at getting my body to function like it did before that horrible medicine. I have an 87 chance cancer won’t come back with
Out further treatment so why did they do this to me ? Money that’s why

1 Reaction@francine6829 When they start up.
Take lysine and zinc every day as a supplement to prevent cold sores?
Try zinc and lysine for cold sores it really does help.

1 Reaction@francine6829 Probably just keeps lips moist.
Why do you think aquaphor prevents cold sores?
@francine6829 Yes, right before I go to bed. If my lips are dry in the daytime, I'll put some on, but usually I'll use those lipstick crayon-type lipsticks in the daytime for color.

1 ReactionTrixie, do you use aquaphor on your lips every night
@francine6829 When they get really bad, Blistex and I also then take zinc tablets. But since I've used the Aquaphor ointment, not getting it like I used to. And then I also noticed that I was stretching my mouth and lips would split...don't ask me why I was doing that...LOL...I do not know!!!
over the counter meds. We get it at Walgreens... I also use Clinique's lip cream; it is expensive but the only thing that I have found that works.
