I’ve searched this forum and can find next to nothing on cold sores. I’ve just got my third outbreak in a row and I’m starting to get concerned! This is my fourth month on Atkins and I’ve been totally free of cold sores until this last couple of weeks. I’ve also started losing more hair than usual but have read the ‘hair loss’ thread and am not too concerned at this stage. Do you think these two problems could be related? I’ve just bought myself some L-lysine to take as a supplement as it’s supposed to help relieve the symptoms but I’m really interested to know if anyone else is having the same problem. Since starting on Atkins my health has never been better but these last couple of weeks have certainly got me thinking that my body may be lacking something.
