Lysine

Hi everyone, and thanks so much for the great advice on the mouth sores.  I am using the antifungal and it is much better.  I was wondering if ading lysine to my daily vitamins would have any affect on the triple treatment.  I am just prone to skin problems.  I was taken off incevek after 5 days because of a horrible rash over 80% of my body.  I am tolerating the victrellis  ok, but still have some issues with my skin.  I bought 500 mg tablets yesterday, and was just wondering if anyone know if this is counter productive when taking the triple therapy.  thanks again for all your great advice.

Skin problems are normal side effects of treatment. Try using oatmeal based soaps and lotions. Rose seed oil is great for the face. IVirgin olive oil is good too.
In general, avoid scented products and use a gentel detergent in your wash.
Wearing natural fibers can help. I landed up cutting labels out of the backs of my shirts because they were driving me crazy.
Sorry, I can't help with the lysine. I've only used it topically, and by eating fresh parsely.
Good luck and happy $th.

Check with Dr first, and check into how to take it.

OH is right and gave you some good advice. About the lysine, have you thought about maybe trying Bee pollen granules? It is not really a good idea to not take an amino acid complex. Bee pollen contains essential amino acids including lysine. It has many other great properties as well including B complex. My Dr. new I was taking it before treatment and allowed me to continue. Of course check with yours if you're interested.
