Sympathy! I got it from being a dumb teenager, but havenât had one in over 20. Knew someone whose kids were born with it on the inside of their eyelids. shudder

So I figured I had HSV1 because mum suffered cold sores since before I was born, I assumed I caught it from birth from her, but never had an outbreak. I donât remember ever having a cold sore, maybe when I was a kid? So over 20 years ago, maybe 25.
Well, guess who has a cold sore? This sick bitch. Itâs on the corner of my mouth so opening it to eat is painful.
Why now though lol like, Iâve been in way more stressful situations than where I am now and it didnât break out then. Riddle me that, Batman.
(I know Iâm whining, and I know many people get cold sores regularly and that sucks arse).

inside of their eyelids
I cannot imagine having this in or on or around my eyes nah no way fuck that noise
Partner gets outbreaks occasionally, no rhyme or reason, maybe 1-2 times a year? So we have cold sore cream on hand đ Iâve been off The Pill for a couple of years now (so normal regular periods) and still didnât get one until this week (Iâve heard periods can trigger them). I just wish it wasnât on the corner of my mouth, itâs a high movement area and itâs hurts. Doesnât help that I tried popping it when I thought it was a zit/ingrown hair đđŹ

âNot on my mindâ is how I got a scar popping a zit that was actually chicken pox. Realised seconds later.

Iâve gotten them forever, probably also from my mum. I get them when Iâve had too much salty food - anytime Iâve been to the cinema and eaten popcorn, boom, cold sore. I still do it though!
