fever blisters
Vitamin E also works well. Get the liquid capsules at the store and just pop one and use the liquid inside; generally works overnight for me.
fever blisters
often these are triggered by stress. I used to get them all the time until my mom told me to get rutin from a health food place and take it for 1 month. I did and it was 3 years before I had another blister outbreak!
Does anybody know what helps get rid of fever blisters really fast. I just got some and they are
not very nice looking on my lips.
I am getting a lot of fever blisters on my lip lately and am wondering what triggers them. I drink
a lot of sugar substitute drinks and am wondering if this could be doing this. Anyone ever figure out anything like this as far as triggers.
Are you sure it's herpes? - sm
It could be impetigo, which is bacterial. Looks a lot like it, and happens mostly on the face, though, granted, more in children.
Those and the herpes commercials...(sm)
Nice way to educate the kids!!
anonymous herpes survey - sm
How common do you think it is? I think it is very, very common. Statistics show it affects about 1 in 3 people. Do you know anyone who has it? (self included?)
I know a few people who have it.
Ladies, any assistance on how to treat herpes
My daughter has just sent me some information on something called Lectroject, apparently it is something that is used to inject medicine directly into the herpes blister?? Never heard of it but has anyone else. Any suggestions at all on how to treat herpes outbreak on the lips? Thanks so much!
Having constant outbreaks of herpes on my chin. Anyone try anything for this that really works
other than taking all different kinds of drugs. I would rather try something more natural. For some reason I keep breaking out.
Where was the earthquake that caused it? - nm

It may have caused some problems
since for years I didn't know to be careful about B vitamis and such.
I haven't been to the doctor in several years and rarely did before that, so who knows? I have issues here and there like most people, but it's always hard to pinpoint what causes what.
I think I'm good with vitamins and pretty good with iron now, but sometimes might not get quite enough protein. I try to buy protein powder for that but kind of go in spurts.
I think a lot of people get funny about eating meat as they get older. I know quite a few men who don't pull the trigger when hunting anymore either. They would rather watch the animals and feel a connection with them. Kind of a short-term evolution I suppose. : )
Just noticed my daughter has blisters all over palms of hands..sm
some look as if they have blood under them, as they are a brownish color. She has one on her foot also. nothing in mouth or anywhere else. She said she noticed them this morning, but just now showed me after swimming this afternoon. she says they hurt to touch? Any ideas?? I hate to run to ER if nothing that cant wait until tomorrow when doc is in. TIA
cool wet tea bags are good for burns & blisters nm

It is such a shame that her fame has caused
You hear so often of stars with private gardeners, make-up artists, etc. Why not a private psychologist/psychiatrist/interventionist. Such a cute girl and so much more life to live. It sure does make you wonder if pushing your children into these types of fields is really the right thing to do. I guess every job has its ups and downs, but I still wouldn't want to see my child have such turmoil when they were seen as "starlets" for so long. I also think the media makes a big deal out of everything. I don't think her actions are good choices, but I also think every little move the poor young mother makes is under scrutinization by the public. You don't often hear about every day people dropping their kids and getting that much publicity. Just like when Michael Jackson dangled his child over the balcony for example. I have been around people that throw their children in the air and catch them. This scares me, but I never see those same people on CNN that night throwing their child in the air and being scrutinized for that action. JMO.
Avon actually caused problems for me
with allergy type reactions and skin irritation. I think their products are often too strong. JMO
I may have caused my former cat's demise by feeding Meow Mix dry (sm)
It is higher in certain minerals that can make it easier for cats (esp. males) to develop urinary crystals. I had a perfectly healthy 4-year-old male Persian who had only recently gotten Meow Mix just as a hand-fed treat, and he developed crystals, complete urinary tract blockage, and eventually complete renal failure, resulting in euthanasia. His total bill came to over $5,000 - which I am STILL paying off 6 months later. I learned 2 important lessons:
1) NEVER feed Meow Mix, and
2) Buy pet health insurance!
My property tax rate stays low
because there are so many mansions in my town. There is a house on the market right now for $23 million, plus lots of others in the 5-10 million dollar range. What is really sickening is that these are second or even third homes for some people. But they are paying such high taxes, it really takes the burden off us little guys who live way, way, way on the other side of the tracks.

I hope Kris stays sm
I really liked Danny at the beginning of the season, but not so much now. I wish he would have picked a different song for his choice because I hate the one he did, to the point that I couldn't even listen to it even with him singing. Adam irks me beyond belief. Kris' first song was not his best, but that was due to a poor choice on Kara and Randy's part, and his second song was incredible. As far as dialidol, they stink at making any real predictions.
The flu is a virus actually.
One strain of the flu is really tricking people, too. It's worse than a cold, but with mine I never got the fever, just the terrible sore throat, cough, loss of voice, chills and body ache that Advil barely touched. But my doc said it was the same flu all her patients had, and they were confused and waiting to come in and ending up with secondary infections. Some stubborn people were even ending up with pneumonia. Thankfully the flu has peaked here and rates are falling in NC.
Does anyone know if there is a virus going around or flu although I did
get a flu shot.
A time of 5 years should not have caused kidney failure.
This is too short a time.
Did she have heart problems also?
I know people who drag along for 30 years until they finally succumb to organ failure.
cardiac arrythmia is what caused my daughter to do the same thing -

Revlon in the black tube stays put,
but then I put something glossier over the top because the look isn't as see-through as the style is now. But it doesn't feel drying; just not ultra-moisturizing.
The black tubes are a bear to find in a purse, so I wrap a strip from a yellow fluorescent sticker around the tube.
I hope your family stays safe. It looks really bad.
I hope they decide not to ride it out though. I have been watching on TV all day. Senator Kay Baily Hutchinson was just on Fox News and she believes Galveston is going to be underwater due to the storm surge. Not sure where your family is, but hopefully they thought better about staying and left.
Knowing about the virus, I would
say no because it just gives a false security and the virus can hibernate so to speak for months before rearing its ugly head. If negative only for you, probably she would think fine and good, can continue on as nothing happened. I don't think teaching her a lesson by a blood test and surely not 1 so soon. I had read about some signs of the virus and saw a huge lymph node on daughter's neck and I probably knew then even before her landing in the hospital with excruciating headaches and high fevers. They asked her to give consent for testing (she was under 21) and hers came back false-positive for several sticks- finally had the most advanced test done and then showed so really the test never showed a positive ever. You know, your daughter might be of age to say whether or not she would have 1 done- check that out first. It was not left up to me to give my yes or no. You know with all the rules and regulations they have now days, things have changed to what it was- a child under 21- you used to give consent, check this out first before rushing into the office. Let me know what you find out- send me an email if you would like. Good luck.
Which Anti-Virus you are using?

ummm ... there's always a virus going around. nm

Declaw them. Mine is, no problems, she stays inside though. nm

High Fever
Have you tried cool compresses along with the Tylenol? Maybe that'll help. I hope she feels better soon. I have a four year old and it's awful when she's sick. Also, does she have any other symptoms. When my older daughter was young she spiked high fevers a lot and they were always viral infections and you just had to wait it out and give Tylenol or Motrin every six hours to break the fever.
Low grade fever again
I am so tired of this....seems like every time I turn around, I am running a low grade fever (99.0 up to 99.3, my normal is around 97.6). The temperature itself would not be concerning, but I can tell by the way I feel, even before I take my temp, that it's running high.
I have allergies and develop sinusitis very easily. In the past couple of months, I have taken three rounds of antibiotics because of low grade fever accompanied by sinus symptoms (pain, pressure, yucky green phlegm, etc.). That's the first time I've taken antibiotics in ages - I have to be pretty desperate to take them, because I don't want to develop a resistance to them.
Now I've got the fever again but no sinus symptoms. Anybody have any clues what else it could be? I mean, I don't hurt anywhere, I don't have any symptoms except the fever. I know I need to go in and get a complete workup; in fact, I have one scheduled for September 5 (that's the earliest appointment my doctor had). I'm just sick of feeling lousy.
It protects becaue the virus is
spread by sexual contact. If people were monogamous there would be no need for it. I miss the old days with more morals.
Let us know how you are today, girl! Hopefully just the flu or a virus. nm

FIREWALL/VIRUS PROTECTION
I am going to check out this AVG; First I used Norton, then Norton changed and screwed up my computer (years ago) and then I used McAfee which worked well. Then McAfee changed and I got viruses. Then I got some Vaio computers with Norton. Norton was good. Then, Norton was terrible and five viruses later I changed to the one that comes with my internet service and is free which found 11 viruses and Spyware stuff that Norton could not "see". Then that failed and I got some viruses and now I finally got the unintall program for the free one (which took a week to get for some reason) and I am shopping too. What I want is one that works all the time, easy to use, and especially one that has English speaking 24/7/365 help available without 50- 100.00 dollar fees just to ask a question about the software for which I have already paid good money that is not functioning! This AVG, does it have English speaking persons? Do they help you for free or a small fee?

4-year-old with a very high fever and I
 just can't remember what to do to break the fever. The fever is 102.3 now and I have given her a Tylenol chewable tablet this morning and another chewable at 2:00 p.m. Any suggestions...???
My animals have spring fever
MY 2 cars, one is 13+ and the other is almost 7 are bugging me along with my dog to play, and just pay some attention to them. It is nice outside and they sure have the spring bug. Hard to resist them. Just took the dog for a long run in the park with another neighbor's puppy and though it would calm her down but now, she bring in her stuffed animals and when I ignore her she will throw them at my chair to get my attention. So I keep taking 5 to 10 minutes to play and now am behind. Oh well, it only happens a couple of times a year so gotta enjoy it. But even the 13 year old is sitting on my desk, which she never does, and playing with my papers, pens, knocking things down and then just looking at me, like "Did I do that." But it is so nice here in Portland today, up to 60 gotta take advantage as will probably rain tomorrow.
ugh, agree. the worst. fever, too.
they give you antibiotics and you have to drink a ton of water - which, at the beginning, makes it hurt worse as the water flushes, like a hot knife twisting. After a day of medication it will start to lighten up.
Get your butt to the doctor now because it can spread down to the bladder, and that's another kind of pain you don't want on top of the kidney pain.
they are aware of it, not a virus, they fixed it once and are working on it NM

Yes, they know and it's fixed. Not virus some Javascript issue.

I had mono or Epstein Barr Virus...sm
which ever you want to call it. Epstein Barr Virus causes mono. I had it in 2003 and I was so sick. Believe it or not, I had it for 1-1/2 years. I was diagnosed after doing extensive bloodwork. I was house bound. I couldn't rarely go anywhere. I was so weak I couldn't get out of bed some days. It was the most awful thing I have ever had. And nothing could be done about it. It just had to kind of wear off. I did take a lot of vitamins toward the end of it and they seemed to help.
No Way! Anti-Virus software not going to work.
Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years.
Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it will do when D-Day arrives.
Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows.
Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.
At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC: Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.
Microsoft also offers a free online safety scan here, which should be able to detect all Conficker versions:

cool baths burn with fever
I discovered cool baths really burn when you have a high fever. Maybe tepid to slightly warm may be better.
In our family that is called "Present Fever" and there is no cure.
The only thing that has been successful for us so far are distraction tactics that keep them busy away from the tree and, in dire situations away from the house.
We also use empty "decoy" boxes under the tree (this started years ago when the little ones and the puppy would unwrap random gifts at random times), and we tell everyone they are getting socks and underwear, and that is all. Then we put there actual gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve.
My brothers and I all had present fever, but I cannot remember what our mother did to keep from being driven bonkers. I will have to ask and get back to you.
the increased mucus could be causing him to throw up. but with the fever... ???
I would give it 2 days. if the fever persists he needs to be seen. could be a number of different things. there are many different types of flu's.. so its hard to say.
Looks like you signed and are liable. Sorry you had a fever when you signed.
