Thanks, Vee. I broke down and bought some Abreva today. That stuff is costly!!

Hermione- I used to use Abreva and it works okay, but I found some other stuff at Walgreens that's cheaper- it's called Releev and it works great but I think you have to use it right away. I don't ever get the tingling anymore- I just notice suddenly that I grew a cold sore. So anyway- I think it was Sunday (maybe Saturday) morning I looked in the mirror and was like "damn. i gre a cold sore last night". I had some Releev from last time and here it is Thursday and it fell off last night when I was washing my face. Well- I washed too hard and pulled it off and I have a small scab now but that's beside the point. Fastest cold sore I've ever had. Didn't get very big either- no bigger than when I first started putting it on. Nothing seems to really get them to go away though- the Releev thing says 1 day and it wasn't, but it's better than others I've tried.

It's Benzalkonium chloride (an organic chloride salt that is an antimicrobial skin cleanser, Viracea® (a proprietary blend of benzalkonium chloride and phytochemicals such as echinacea,) methyl and propyl paraben and potassium sorbate.)

My mom keeps telling me to go to the doctor and get a prescription for Zovirax to use immediately but I never have. I hate cold sores- I wish I got canker sores instead.

Oh yeah- then go and buy some L-Lysine in the vitamin section - it's supposed to help prevent outbreaks (so I've been told). I'm bad about taking it- usually I start popping them once I have one. Not sure if it helps but it's supposed to so I do it just in case it does.

Pill Question: At what point are pills REALLY out of date. I've been known to take pain pills and muscle-relaxants, etc, 3 years after the expiry date... does it make them stronger, weaker, or wonkier?

Dry pills are ok, just may be weaker or less effective. I don't know about those gel capsule type things, I haven't heard either way, but I'd be more wary about them.

The only one I've heard of that is considered dangerous after the expiration date is tetracycline....I think.

The ones I usually take on an as-needed basis are tylenol 3, flexeril (sp?) and an NSAID called TIAPROFENIC ACID.

Hermi, I'm confused. Was your post at 9:08 today a recommendation or a thing that sucks?

L-Lycene is definitely good. My dad is a doc and that's his suggestion for cold and canker sores. Drink some milk too.

Old pills are less effective. As far as absorbabliity liquids are better than capsuls. Capsuls are better than tablets. It takes the body a long time to digest tablets.

Thanks Doc! Cuz the pill bottle says 2004 and the other says 2003. But I do tend to recycle the bottles so the pills in them might be newer than the dates on the bottles.

where does one post things like this:

Jury Duty Scam

(Already checked on www.snopes.com, yes it's real.)

Please pass this on to everyone in your e-mail address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call.

Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced. Fall for it and your identity could be stolen, reports CBS.

In this con, someone calls you at home pretending to be a court official who threateningly says a warrant has been issued for your arrest because you didn't show up for jury duty. The caller claims to be a jury coordinator.

If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Sometimes they even ask for credit card numbers. Give out any of this information and bingo! Your identity just got stolen.

The scam has been reported so far in 11 states. This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they're with the court system.

The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

Pass this on.
