Just wanted to say thanks for all the great suggestions from everybody - I really appreciate the input. It has gotten a bit better in this third week of the cycle - but I start over on Monday with another cycle so I know it's coming back. At least now I have some things I can try. They were handing out little Aquaphor tubes at my CC and that does help at least keep the lips moist although it doesn't seem to heal the blisters.

thanks again. I just love this forum and all the help from folks who have LIVED it.

thanks
Steve
