Cold Sores

Monday morning, I woke up with that familiar itching/sore feeling on my bottom lip. I knew what was coming. By noon, I had a bump. By mid afternoon, I had a cluster of bumps. And by dinner, I had a full blown cold sore. I knew that I had been really busy last week and I've had the symptoms of the beginning of a cold as well. Stress + Cold = Cold Sore. I got it. I didn't freak out because even though our American wedding reception is just a week away, I still have time to heal. But then, yesterday, I woke up and to my shock and horror, I had another cold sore - in my nose! WTF? I've had cold sores since I was a teenager so I'm used to them but I've never had two cold sores at the same time. So now, I have a swollen, bloody lip and a sore, crusty nose. Sexy. My festering predicament got me wondering:

Why did I start getting cold sores to begin with?
Why doesn't my husband get cold sores?
Is it true that cold sores can turn into the Paris Hilton herpes?

Hmmm. For now, I'm all about the Carmex and Neosporin.

I hear you girl. I get cold sores and they suck. I usually use that special OTC stuff... I can't think of the name of now... in a little blue tube.

I think you are talking about Abreva. It works really well for me but it works best when I put it on when I get that tingling! Arghhh... I hate cold sores and like you said always show up at the WORST times...

Maria said...

Ah yes-- Abreva. I keep it in my desk drawer at work too. LOL!

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
