Hi Ann C

Have you tried L-Lysine for the cold sores? I can recommend this natural remedy which you should be able to access from health stores. If your husband can swallow or better still chew these tablets as soon as he feels soreness or tingling it should bring some quick relief and reduce the severity of the outbreak.

When my blasts were up at 10% I used to get hive-like welts on my torso and I've read other posts which report these for MDS so they could be symptomatic. Has he had a recent biopsy?
