Depression on and off, and anger in public places (not visible to others), sinus issues, headaches, too much gas, palpitations, lethargy, forgetfulness, fear, worry, weight gain, nausea. Can't think of anything else at the moment.

I had one of those random painful swollen taste buds on the tip of my tongue until the day before yesterday, and then once that cleared up, I bit the side of my tongue in my sleep. So I've had a sore tongue for about a week now.

Do you get onto it with a cold sore cream, or use any specific remedy, AB? I get these now and again due to stress, and find rubbing a bit of cold sore cream on the area gets rid of them fairly quickly, thankfully. Just used to let them heal on their own, which would take a fair while... Hope yours is gone soon. 8)

For me, it's hot/cold feverishness for the past 7 days(throat infection).

The best "cure" for a cold sore is to just leave it alone.

There's a new medication that gets rid of cold sores in a day. But, it is $17 for a very tiny tube. It does work.

I have also found the old-fashioned carmex to work pretty well. $2 for a tiny pot. I put it on twice a day or more if I think about it.

I used to feel that way, KK. Until I tried a £4 small tube of zovirax. I found that if I got onto it early on, I was able to prevent it from spreading and becoming more painful by the day. It cleared it up much more quickly, in a matter of days, rather than weeks.

Since I've been an adult, I've never had a cold sore last more than five days. I guess I've been fortunate.

I have to really force myself not to touch it, or to moisten it in any way.

When I was 12, it did last weeks----because I kept licking it and picking at it.

Fairly recently I had a respiratory problem that resulted in getting a chest x-ray and being prescribed Prednisone and a Ventolin HFA inhaler. (I'm assuming in this case "HFA" doesn't stand for high functioning autism).

I also have an athlete's foot blister on the sole of my left foot, which is being treated with Tolnaftate.
