Does taking Lysine for canker sores affect chemo with Folfiri and Erbitux? I saw a mouth gel made with lysine for cold sores and wonder if i could use that. I always have to run everything i take through the pharmacist, but i forgot. And i just got disconnected Friday and the canker sores are coming back already...I hope to catch them in the bud. Thanks for the help. Mary
