The Day I Got My Lips Back!

Ok.  So I don't know how many of you get cold sores....but they are probably the worst thing ever!  I usually get them every month or two, so I have recently started taking a prescription for it.  However a little over a week ago I got one in the middle of the day, I was muy upset!  So I went home to take me meds and it was all gone!  I figured it would be alright and would probably be a little one.  Boy was I wrong!  I woke up the next morning with 8!  I know...gross!  Iwanted to kill myself.  For those of you have never had one let me tell you something.  They make you feel SOOO ugly no matter how hard you try, not to mention they are caca looking.  After about 1 1/2 weeks later mine are finally cleared up...glorious day!  Obviously, the first picture is a little exaggerated, but the second one is just me glad to have my smile back!  Yay!  Any horror stories about cold sores?  Please share.
