Keeping a stiff upper lip

[seedmoon]

---- or -----
There may be no mistletoe for me this year.The illness I was dealing with over the last week may have one holiday gift for me before it completely goes away. I woke this morning with that stiff, dry feeling in my upper lip that is often the precursor to fever blisters

Only my mouth may be out of commission so I'll just have to be selective as to what I stuck under the mistletoe.

BTW, will we be seeing you at my place on your birthday this year?

MOUTH HERPES!!! God, that SUCKS. I fucking HATE fever blisters. They hurt like a bitch. I was going to suggest the abreva. Stuff seems to help a bit, but it looks like you got that covered

[seedmoon]

Yeah I hate them too. I'm praying to every Pagan deity I can think of that I don't get them this time. I've gotten them since I was a little kid too and they never such any less.
Wish me luck.

Wow, that's one hell of a story. That doctor really needs to work on her delivery. I'd have been ready to slap her.

does abreva work for you? It doesn't for me. But Super Lysine Plus (the chapstick kind or the kind in a little squeeze tube) works REALLY REALLY REALLY well. Put it on before the blister shows up if you can, it works faster and REALLY well.

[seedmoon]

It helps although I would like to find something that stops them in their tracks. Never tried the lysine plus stuff, perhaps I'll have to look for it when I'm out next.

You tell me this AFTER!!! we spent all last weekend making out!!!

Damn you!!!!!!!!

Hey I don't have any yet and with some luck I might not get them at all.

In fact, now that I think about it, you might have passed all this on to me. Typhoid Jim strikes again!
