It would go dormant then sporadically re-appear in high stress cycles.
Responded very well to amino acid L-Lysine capsules, 500 mg 2x day, With the L-Lysine starting at first sign, usually was gone by day 3.,minimal problems.
So L-Lysine became an OTC rescue for quite awhile. Been many months since I have had an attack.

Turned out to be a piece of cake compared to the subsequent 60th birthday present of widespread shingles!!!!😩
Pls. get the shot for that, people.😟
