You know the saying..."when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"
Well, here is my saying for today..."when life gives you a cold sore, don't kiss your husband for a week"
I have a cold sore. boo.
So my little big sister is coming to visit next weekend!!! wooohooo. Finally someone in my family coming to see us. It has been a while so I am excited. And I get to see my cute and complete brainiac of a nephew and my niece, who was born on my birthday, therefore we are bonded for life. Welcome to the club Heidi!
Mike is going ice fishing tomorrow and I am completely jealous. Have fun honey while I sulk at work.
Ciao.

i have a cold sore too. but i have the formula to beat them ... so they don't get massive and scabby.
let me know if you want it. i hate unasked for advice;)
erin, bring it on!
okay, here's what i do. hope it works for you.
as soon as you feel it coming, ice it. stick an ice cube directly on it if you can handle it (i can't) or wrap in a dish towel. keep it on there for a while, i usually do it until the ice is almost completely melted. do it 3 (or more) times a day for the first couple days, until it seems like you've beat it.
also, mix equal parts ( a few drops ) of olive oil and tea tree oil and apply directly to the cold sore with an q-tip whenever you have a chance. i probably do it about 6 times the first day and it slowly decreases.
i hope this works for you. it's the only thing that's worked for me.
good luck!
Cold Sores do suck!
You can also have it lasered at a dental office. (Circle and 8th doesn't have one - College Park does). Apparently it is painless and the sore is not supposed to ever come back to that specific spot.
You do have to get it right away, though, so maybe next time??
when life hands you rotten bananas, make banana bread! I just got a cold sore in my nose. OUCH!
