Cold Sores are Pretty.
NOT! I woke up feeling that familiar tingle on the edge of my lip. I HATE getting cold sores! I’ll go months and months and months with nothing, and then I end up getting them one after the other. I just had one when we went down to Colorado Springs last month – not even a month ago! Thank God for Acyclovir/Zovirax, man – that’s all I have to say about it. Do you get cold sores? If you do, ask your doctor about this drug – it really does make them go away! It’s not instant or anything, but if I start taking it regularly as soon as I feel the tingle, I can shorten the duration from a week and a half down to just a few days of grossness – and I can sometimes keep it from popping out at all, if I’m lucky. Miracle drug, there.

I have FOUR large zits on my chin right now and I have no flippin clue why. I didn’t even have this many at once when I was going through puberty! And they’re the deep painful ones too. UGH.

Oh I know…I HATE cold sores. I get about one every two years or so and that is enough for me. I wish I would have known about that medication a month ago when I had mine!

Ouch. I don’t get cold sores, but I get canker sores in my mouth. Nothing hurts so bad.
