Geez, sorry to hear you've got it so bad.  With allergies as bad as
your it's going to be real hard to tell where they leave off and the
herpes begins.  The bottom line is that L-lysine might help, and then
it might not, but the only way to know is to try it.  Arlyn will tell
you all about soy and how bad it is, and how hard it is to avoid it,
too, but if you suspect soy then start reading labels and try to
reduce your intake of it.

I can't believe a little ol' Egg McMuffin would be any harm, though,
though I say that with a trace of humor.  It *could* be the heat of
the thing that has irritated your mouth linings.

Also, with symptoms as severe as yours sound, have you tried second
and third opinions as to treatment?  You might want to find somebody
who knows his stuff and will take the time to try to help you.

Take care,

Mike

I would definitely have your doctor take a look and run tests because what
you are describing doesn't sound like herpes at all. It's possible that it
could be an allergic reaction as you mentioned. L-Lysine doesn't work for
everybody when it comes to herpes. But, for right now you need to get a
handle on what's going on by finding out what the sores are all about. See a
doctor and get to the bottom of it ~ it's really the only way. Hang in
there~~~

Hi Cedrick,
I agree with Angela, you may not even have herpes. It would be a good idea
to have the blisters cultured for the herpes virus. Getting a Western Blot
test to detect the antibody will probably come up positive for type 1
anyway, as for most adults. Get another opinion on your blisters.

Hi Cedrick,

As MLS mentioned, I will tell you about the evils of soy.  Stay away from
that stuff, it will kill you.  :)

I was severely allergic to many foods, including soy.

First, you need to get yourself to a doctor immediately upon seeing the
first blister/sore appear and have it cultured.  If you wait too long, you
could get a false negative so make that call NOW.  Have the doctor do a
culture.  It's the only way to know what that reaction is.  You could have a
herpes blood test run but if you come out positive, you won't know in what
location you have it.  So, get the blisters cultured and perhaps do a blood
test as well.

Second, change your diet.  My food allergies and other others completely
went away with a diet change.  Your body is giving you clear signals that
you are in ill health.  Heed the warnings and make the changes now.  Cut out
processed foods.  Cut out refined sugar.  Cut out white flour.  Add in lots
of fruit (you are probably allergic to strawberries, I was) and lots and
lots of veggies including greens.  Greens are a huge building block towards
health.  Eat only whole foods that you cook yourself so you know what's in
your food.  That means, don't eat anything out of bag, box, bottle or can.
And no excuses.  You can do it.  :)

Let us know what the doctor says.
