I I've been kind of bad about taking my vitamins. I'm notorious for being bad at taking meds. Well, about a month ago I developed a sore on the side of my mouth. I just assumed it was a cold sore... No big deal. Well, a month later and it's even worse. Hurts, cracks and bleeds, I can't open my mouth without pain, etc... Not to imagine how ugly it looks. Well, I found out I was severely mal nourished and that's what caused the fissure on the side of my mouth. I was given vitamin injections and anti fungal cream... It's awful... Take your vitamins and drink your water! Dehydration also causes them!

I take mine faithfully, but every since surgery I develop a cold sore about every other week. Had all my lab work last month, but nothing has been said. Wondering if I am having the same problem. Feel fine except for this problem, which I use Aleve which gets it into check pretty fast.
