I unfortunately inherited the ever-lame cold sore virus from my mom's side of the family. I haven't had a cold sore in forever - I can't remember the last time I had one - but I definitely have one now! It all started with the awesome weekend I had with my family. We were outside the whole day last Friday - riding horses and swimming. Apparently I forgot how getting sunburned lips will usually result in a cold sore for me. I put chap stick on a few times, but obviously not enough. On Monday evening I started to feel the beginnings of a cold sore. By Tuesday morning, it was full blown in all it's glory. It was pretty massive, covering pretty much half of my bottom lip. If you're wondering how a cold sore feels, imagine the feeling of a burn; more specifically, a second degree burn; the kind that blisters. Now imagine that feeling on your oh-so-tender lip. IT HURTS!!! It was hurting so bad on Tuesday that it gave me a headache and I had to take Ibuprofen! Since then I've been putting cold sore medicine on it and now it's gone down in size. I should hopefully be healed sometime next week. I've spared you a picture of this gruesome monstrosity as to not horrify you. All you non-cold sore virus people should be very thankful! ;0)
