I wasn't born with cold sores. One of my exes gave me this gift that keeps on giving.

She LOVED to kiss ALLLLL THE TIME and then one day my lymph nodes on my neck were hurting. Then flu like symptoms. Then my first cold sore on my lip. And ever since this is a problem I have to watch out for, for my entire life.

I have to watch my L Lysine to Arginine ratio to make sure I wont get a cold sore on my lip.

I often wonder to myself if that relationship was worth this life long inconvenience and I have to admit that maybe it was.

My girlfriend's sister used her lip balm without her permission while she had a coldsore and then she gave it to me. So basically my ex-girlfriend's sister gave me a cold sore.

@JimboSaturn Dont you hate it that you were free and clear of it before? And someone had to ruin it?

@unsociableAnthony yes so annoying. I get them only when I'm really sick and run down, but they are so gross.

@unsociableAnthony @JimboSaturn Isn't a cold sore a type of herpes virus?

@JimboSaturn she never replies to anything I say but when this topic comes up, she basically parachutes down from an airplane to where we are talking about it and just says, "oh by the way....😉😉😉😉"
