Cold Sore Symptoms – What Can You Do About Cold Sores?

Are you curious about your cold sore symptoms? Read this valuable article. You will learn what to expect and how to deal with your own cold sore symptoms.

Here are the most usual cold sore symptoms people experience. Yours should be quite similar. If not please visit your health care provider.

Here is a brief explanation of each of the five primary cold sore symptoms.

1. WATCH FOR THESE SIGNALS OF DEVELOPING COLD SORES.

Your first alarm of coming cold sores is very mild. You may miss it at first. It might include a slight tingling, itching or burning.

You might even feel a dryness like the area is chapping.

You are sensing the virus movement. The herpes simplex virus is moving to the surface along a nerve. This virus will infect the surface cells once it gets there.

You will enjoy instant relief by applying ice or other cold object. Ice is a terrific cold sore treatment that can often prevent cold sores from developing further.

2. NOW YOU GET PAINFUL BUMPS AND SWELLING.

After the itching, you may notice some hard little red bumps will suddenly appear. You will also experience a lot of swelling as the cells become stuffed with new virus. Keep using ice to reduce pain and swelling.

You may develop flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headaches and fatigue. Your lymph glands under the jaw may swell also, as your body fights the virus.

3. YOUR COLD SORES NOW BLOSSOM.

Your infected cells rupture under the pressure of new virus. A clear fluid will weep from this sore – your body’s way of cleansing the wound.

The herpes virus lives in your nerve fibers and builds oral herpes cold sores on the surface end of them – painfully exposing them.

The weeping fluid contains hoards of new virus particles looking to infect a new site – on you or someone else.

4. YOUR COLD SORE HEALING PERIOD BEGINS.

The destruction is done – the speed of your healing will depend greatly on the cold sore treatment options you are using.

During your healing period use heat not ice using warm tea bags. Tea has some excellent healing properties.

Your body first covers the wound with a protective scab. If the scab becomes brittle dry, you will suffer painful cracking. This will slow healing.

To keep the scab soft and prevent cracking, saturate the scab with olive oil. It will really speed healing.

5. YOUR COLD SORES NEAR THE END.

Your scab will usually last five to eight days while rebuilding new skin below.

Do not be fooled however – you are quite contagious still.

Your new skin will appear a bit pinkish. Virus activity and healing continues. You can be contagious until the skin again appears normal.

You are probably quite frustrated – it will take a few more days. You feel and look great but you are still healing and are contagious.

Cold sores can come back quickly during this time. The herpes virus grabs any weakness you provide so maintain your cold sore treatment.

These are the common cold sore symptoms you are likely to encounter. If your symptoms are much different, then go to your health care consultant.

You do not have to suffer these cold sore symptoms any longer. Many good cold sore treatment options have now been discovered that can prevent your suffering for good.

you simply do not have to suffer cold sore symptoms anymore. Everyone is different, but with a little trial and error, you will find the exact cold sore treatment that works best for you.

Support for Overcoming Grief: Depression

My heart has been heavy all week with the fires and the tragedy at the Long Beach Pier. I know that I am not the only one as people have been expressing their feelings about it too. At this point I’m not sure what all I can do to show my support other than to pray… I do believe strongly in the power of prayer and I know prayer availeth much. Along with my prayers I hope what I share today on this blog touches who ever it needs to touch……..

There are hurting people all over the world, some near and dear to our hearts. It is often easy for us to be so caught up in our own lives that we are oblivious to what might be going on in someone else’s life…

Living life abundantly means caring not just for ourselves but for others. To truly experience abundant living we must have compassion and Love in our hearts for our fellow man and be concerned not only for our own best interests, but also the interests of others.

Each day the news tells of horrors and tragedies going on all around us. Too often we flip the channel or move on to whatever is next on our agenda because often the story seemingly has no direct affect or impact on our individual lives.(say a prayer, reach out, send a card, do something…)

What many of us fail to realize is, Read the full story

Mayor McMillin of Jena, Offended by Anti-Racism Song

What Do You SeeIt is amazing how we can all look at the same picture and see something different or hear the same song and hear something different. Perhaps that is the case in Mayor McMillian’s strong disapproval of John Mellencamp’s song “Jena.”

Yesterday, at our monthly U Grow Girl meeting we had a wonderful conversation about how things are not always how they look or seem. We discussed perception and paradigms in depth.

Perception:
immediate or intuitive recognition or appreciation, as of moral, psychological, or aesthetic qualities; insight; intuition; discernment. The result or product of perceiving.

Paradigm:
A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.

After seeing the video Jena, the mayor of Jena said

“the Mellencamp video is so inflammatory, so defamatory, that a line has been crossed and enough is enough.”

The mayor is very outspoken about how Jena has been unfairly portrayed as a racist city. We have yet to here him admit or express any outrage over the unfair treatment of the Jena 6. Mayor McMillin seems more concerned with the image and public perception of Jena than with the injustices taking place in Jena.

Maybe the picture that I see is different from the picture he sees. What do you see? I guess its a matter of perception.

It seems that a person who doesn’t want to be perceived as racist would not behave as a racist. Nobody wants to be considered or thought of as racist. I get that.

What I don’t get is:
Red FlagAn elected official offended by a song with an anti-racism message.

Red FlagAn elected official tells a white-supremacist group leader “Your moral support means a lot.”

Red FlagAn elected official failed to recognize that Enough should have been Enough with the tolerance of the known “white only” tree.

It seems that the bigger picture is not whether or not the individual citizens of Jena are racist…the issue is the blatant institutional racism in Jena and many other cities across America. To deny that racism exists, to look the other way, to declare the hanging of nooses as a prank is to enable and therefore tolerate racism. It would seem that anyone offended by anti-racism sentiments is probably pro-racism…

“The song was not written as an indictment of the people of Jena but, rather, as a condemnation of racism, a problem which I’ve reflected in many songs, a problem that still plagues our country today.” — John MellencampPerception Perspective Paradigm

Walmart Milk

Interesting Email Forward of the Day

Subject: FW: “Walmart Milk!!”

WOW!! I LOOKED THIS UP ON SNOPES AND ITS “PRETTY MUCH” TRUE.
THE GOVERNMENT PROBABLY JUST WANTS YOU TO NOT BE AWARE . PERSONALLY….I WON’T BUY ANYMORE.

WAL-MART MILK: Just in case any of you shop at Wal-Mart like me, you Might want to reconsider buying their Milk after reading this… Please read This and pass along to as many people as you can think of. Mitzi Lyons and Her husband Kyle live in Gainesville, TX.

Their daughter, Marissa, has been experiencing menstrual problems (bleeding every day) for three years and within the last year; she started Producing milk (lactating). They have performed every test, every surgery, put her on birth control and in January were scheduled to undergo a hysterectomy.

NEVERTHELESS,
Mitzi’s dad started researching his granddaughter’s condition on the internet found out about RBST in milk. RBST is a hormone injected into cows to produce more milk. Wal-Mart Great Value milk contains RBST and is the brand that the Lyons family has used for years. Three months ago, they pulled Marissa off Great Value Milk and she quit bleeding and lactating.
Her doctors in Houston are going to write a medical journal discovery about Her case, because the FDA says that RBST is safe. Mitzi asked me to please Share this with everyone I could think of to I hope that save someone the pain and suffering that Marissa has endured. I have pulled my family from Wal-Mart Great Value milk and bought Borden instead. Borden has a label on their milk that states that RBST is not used on their cows.

Please pass this on……

Bovine somatotropin (bST), or bovine growth hormone (BGH), is a specific type of growth hormone that is primarily released by the anterior pituitary gland of cattle. In addition to regulating somatic growth, BGH also influences the amount of milk produced by a dairy cow. Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), also known as rBST is a synthetic version of BGH that is injected into a cow to artificially maintain her milk production. — wikipedia

***Apparently this forward has been making its way around since March 2007 some say its just an attack on Walmart. Some say that Walmart sells both RBST and RBST Free milk….. I don’t think it matters if its Walmart or not, the point of the matter is do hormones in milk or other food products have negative affects on people. Does the FDA look the other way as harmful additives, preservatives, hormones, etc… are used by various industries? Do You Know what’s in your milk? Do you know what’s in your food? Do you trust the FDA? Do you say grace before you eat or drink? Hmmmmm email forwards give us so much to consider lol.

What About Megan Williams?

Megan Williams is a Black woman who was kidnapped, kept in a shed, threatened, stabbed, beaten, sexually assaulted, forced to eat animal feces, forced to drink from a toliet, scalded with hot water, choked/tied with a cable cord, verbally abused with racial slurs, and tortured over and over for days by six White people.

Some say this was not a hate crime. Some believe it was not racially motivated. Allegedly Megan Williams knew one of the six kidnappers which somehow disqualifies this as a hate crime.

If race was not a factor why were racial slurs used repeatedly? If this was not a hate crime why was she tortured and abused like this? This is sick and twisted. What is happening in our world? Why are heinous acts of violence like this happening?

No federal hate crime charges in torture case

Six white suspects accused of torturing a young black woman for days in West Virginia will not face federal hate crime charges»
