Herpes

Hey, who's got herpes? I have herpes I reckon but only being I get coldsores from now and then I think that. This is up as my sister went mental when she got a coldsore the other day and thought it was the end of the world. lol.

How do other people cope with them? I have no idea where I got mine but I imagine I got it when I was young.

I'd keep going with it and say it is a painful ulcer.

I have herpes...since everyone has the herpes virus inside them. I believe it stays dormant most of the time and when it's active the symptoms are cold sores,etc.

Oh the other hand, I do not have genital herpes because I am not Madonna.

Why are people so picky? Fine then, only 90% of us do.

Yep, put ambesol on it, it gets rid of it really quickly, and numbs it so you can actually eat without it being agony. But not too much, because it stings like hell. :wink:
