My cold sore came back after a stressful week, normal?
Had a brutal deadline week and a cold sore appeared right after. Is stress really that strong a trigger? It seems like every time my stress spikes, a cold sore follows. How do you manage stress triggered cold sores?
Protecting sleep during busy weeks helps me a lot.
I try to keep the other triggers low when I know a stressful stretch is coming.
Completely normal, stress is one of the most common triggers.
Great question, and you are not alone with this. Catching the trigger early is where most of the difference comes from.
