Hi readers! Chiming in to say that someone recommended another possible solution that could help with frequent outbreaks, which is taking cimetidine with valacyclovir to fix issues with valacyclovir absorption. Here's the study they referenced: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41063629/
As always, talk to a medical professional first before trying anything!
Thanks for sharing! I wish more doctors knew about combining treatment of topicals and orals, but I’m sure they rarely—if at all—get anyone experiencing this issue. Glad your friend was able to get their cold sores under control

There’s also some evidence that Lysine can further suppress the virus…
Very true!
I also found my trigger today!! I started a pre-workout supplement a few weeks ago of Beta-arginine which is a known trigger.
Woohooo! It's giving detective. That's awesome!
