Hi Everyone!
I know this update has been very long overdue, I'm not even going to make any excuses ;) I do apologize though.
Well, once again, I'm going to start sounding like a broken record, but I haven't had another outbreak, meaning I've been outbreak free for half a year! It's getting to the point where I actually want to have an outbreak, as I've been reading everyones comments on how quickly their cold sores heal, but, I want to see for myself! But I can't complain though.
I don't care if this sounds like one big, giant ad for BHT, but I'm so glad that I stumbled upon it. I donno what I would be doing if I kept on having continuous outbreaks. Not only were these outbreaks making me really depressed, but really angry too. Not having the best self-esteem, how are you supposed to face the world with a smile on your face if it literally hurts to do so!
One of the worst memories I have with my lovely friends on my lip was in grade 9, almost 10 years ago. My Biology teacher, decided the topic of the day was sexually transmitted diseases, and when she got to the part where cold sores was a form of herpes, I had everyone turn around and look at me in disgust! I can laugh at it today, but I think that's one of the biggest reason I hate cold sores so much. People associate them with an STD, as if it never crosses their mind how you actually got it.
I'm glad to see with this blog, hoever small, is starting to make an impact. An if I can just save one person from the humilation, pain and suffering that results from a cold sore. I'm happy.
Here's wishing everyone, as always, the best of luck with your outbreak free journey!
