My skin, it hates me. (UPDATED) April 18, 2006 ~ 11:57 am
Posted by Julie in : Random Insanity , trackbackBecause the little tiny bump invasion wasn’t enough, today we have a new contestant in the “Drive Julie Nuts” game. A cold sore, still in the tingly stage, but forming nonetheless. Bugger.
Off to the drugstore to buy some Abreva. And some more Benadryl for the bumps. Oh, and tonight I actually get to see my boyfriend, but because my skin has it in for me, I won’t get to kiss him. Or approach any part of him with my lips. I am beginning to feel like a leper.
**Update**
Rick has informed me he has the beginnings of a cold sore as well. It’s like the old chicken or the egg riddle: Which came first and infected the other? Julie’s cold sore, or Rick’s cold sore? See, it’s exactly like that riddle: there’s no way of telling, and both options are annoying.

Ah, but he can still put his lips to your body…so it’s really kind of a win-win situation, Jules.
Gosh, Hon. All you gotta do is tell me you miss me… you don’t have to go to such extremes!
best excuse ever for the “let’s just cuddle” evening.
Bunsen~You mean the “Hi, if I kiss you, you’ll get a cold sore, if I go down on you, you’ll get herpes” excuse? Classic.
Aimee~C’mere so I can kiss you.
KtP~You raise a good point…
Ah, but it also leaves more options open. If you’re both already infected…evil snicker!
oh my god, you guys are herpe-twins.
and that settles it. Nothing but cuddling for you two until your leprosy disappears.
Good luck with the abreva, babe…I get them too, and always feel like a disgusting human being when I get one. Hi, wanna kiss me? Oh, this nasty oozing blister turn you off?
Prude.
Heal soon!
Do the womanly thing and blame Rick! Everything’s my fault in a situation like that.
I’m with Vince. Blame him.
Hope you feel better soon toots.
P.S. I watched Dogma too!!!
Yeah, no oral sex, but ya know, you can still DO IT.
I had a boyfriend with herpes on his mouth, and it sucked when we couldn’t kiss. Such a pain in the ass… and the mouth, I guess, too eh?
Yup, been there, done that, or rather, had that happen to me as well. It’s so annoying, but I’m definately going to use the “let’s cuddle” line
KtP~Well, win some, lose some. Ya know.
ESC~That reminds me of the Health class in which they taught us about STDs. And one of my friends started singing “I’m a herpe, you’re a herpe, we’re all a herpe.” Catchy, huh?
Varla~I can’t imagine why oozing blisters turn people off. *I’d* kiss you.
Vince~He came down with his on Sunday, I came down with mine yesterday. Let’s do some math.
Nanner~How ’bout blaming Canada?
Jamie~See, everyone? The nurse backs me up on the no oral sex thing! She understands communicable diseases! (Wait, that sounds like you know about it because you’ve had it, Jamie. Sorry!)
Esther~Bunsen comes up with all the good lines…
My herbal guide says, get some lysine for you and Rick. It heals them quicker than all of the over-the-counter stuff. I think I’m turning into a granola head.
Lois~I was wondering about Lysine. I got Abreva, which has some drug or another in it, and is expensive because of it. I looked longingly at the cheaper Lysine-insfused stuff, but wasn’t sure it would work. Next time I’ll try that route.
