The next time I felt that familiar soreness and tingling, I began taking lysine. Research are being performed, as we speak, to see if lysine has ache reducing, anti-inflammatory properties and if it helps in the reduction of anxiety. She advised me to take giant doses of lysine (5000 mg a day) each day if I really feel an outbreak beginning and it ought to nip it in the bud.
