Poll: I have Herpes!

[JUMBO PALACE]

On my lip that is! Yes, I get the dreaded cold sores. How many other Escapists get cold sores? Who gave them to you?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

God damn, I hate cold sores. I get them at the corner of my mouth, so that when I yawn in the morning it splits open after having dried out all night. My fiancee can't seem to recall getting them before she met me. I think she secretly hates me for it and plans to kill me...

I had one once when I was about 14. I'm 20 now and haven't had one since. I'm guessing I got it from my mum as she gets them all the time. Pretty much everyone gets them. My last 2 girlfriends used to get them so if I hadn't had one before, I would've gotten them off one of them

No cold sores for me just open cuts whenever I reset my jaw. So in some way I feel your pain? you didn't answer your own question who gave them to you? Did they use a voodoo doll?

i've had like 2 in the past. not very nice from what i can remember.

Well you never know where you initially caught herpes. I cant really remember when the first time was. But yes it can get anoying. Luckily i only get a lil blister every 4-5 month.
And i cure them pretty fast with garlic.
Just scratch the blister open, cut a piece of garlic, squeeze the piece till a lil juice comes out and press it on the open blisters, it burns like freaking hell on skinningday for a few minutes, but when you can stand it till the pain stops you are free of the annoyance in 2-3 days.

I know a girl from uni, that poor fella gets several of them at least twice a month.

I had several times, just rub some medical cream and it falls of within a few hours.
