Ok, so let me start this by saying that I blame it all on a pair of room mates I had in college. They hated me, I never really liked them yada yada yada. Basically, I never had a single cold sore in my life until I met these two girls. They were twins and had chronic and horrible cold sores.
I once caught one of them, while dealing with a huge ugly sore, drinking from a glass and putting it right back on the shelf. Ugh. To make a long story short, I now have chronic cold sores. They drive me insane. Every single time my immune system gets a little tiny bit depleted, I get one. They stay forever and there really isn’t anything out there that I know of that will get rid of them faster.
Now before you start spouting off ideas, let me tell you that I have tried most over the counter medicines. Including, but not limited to Abreva, Herpacin L, Camfo Fenique, and Savex. None of them helped me get rid of the sores in anything less than a week, sometimes up to two weeks.
Here is where you come in. Please tell me that some of you know some miracle cure for cold sores? I just looked in the mirror and what did I behold but a white bump starting on my upper lip. Often when this happens, I pretend it isn’t there till SH points out the ugly thing and refuses to kiss me for a few days. Help people! This is the Christmas season, I leave for my in-laws in one week. I have to get rid of it by then! Help! Please, I am begging you.
Some people like to tell me that I will only get them when I eat bad food. Well, I can tell you that even if I were eating bad for me food, I am not keeping enough of it down to matter. I am living on toast people! It is enough that I worship the porcelain goddess over and over in a day, I don’t want a huge sore for Christmas!
