What can I do?

I feel absolutely furious and helpless at the same time. It's all out of my control. I don't know what to do. I know others are in the same boat, and we all have the same feeling. Down with the bastages, I say. Get them out.

But I've yet to find a cold sore medicine which actually works. So I have a huge open sore on my face. Furious and helpless in the wake of these virus chumpies. And I don't know how to get rid of them.

What, did you think I was talking about something else? Healthcare, per chance? I could liken the herpes virus to our government officials, and my coldsore to the stupid ass healthcare bill that does nothing about skyrocketing costs yet obliges all americans to buy health insurance. But that would be mean to the viruses and might hurt the self-esteem of cold sores everywhere.

Too late to help probably...but taking lysine sometimes helps. Also I have heard the Rx for the other kind of herpes clears it up really fast if you can suffer the bad thoughts at the pharmacy counter. At least you haven't got it on your chin (had that twice, lemme tell ya that's not pretty)

I used to use abreva - but it ended up making my cold sores unpredictable and longer and duration!

agreed, abreva sucks! I keep getting scars now that last for about a year...wondering if it's abreva's fault.

I'm gonna skip on the other meds - so I look like I have a big boog under my nose for a week or so. It's not worth spending $$ and time on anymore!

Never had a cold sore in my life... don't hate me because I'm cold-soreless ;-)

I never had mumps either.

Sory about the hiccup. Obamacare should help with that ;-)

Am I the only person who remembers that hiccup used to be spelled hiccough? I understand why it was changed. hiccup was much better.

She taught me quickly about the ough sounds!
