Anyone get cold sores?

If so, are you worried about getting them on your wedding day?

I get them...... I've had them for as long as I can remember........and HATE them!!!!!! I have one right now and BLAH! I only get them when I am extremely stressed out........So I am worried that I'll get one on our day!

I usually get them at the start of my period every three months (i know...very strange but i've kept track of it and it does seem to happen every third month...weird). They can be caused by stress and/or your menstrual cycle. I'm worried too because I'm due for my period...yep, you guessed it! On my wedding day! I should have thought it out a little better. LOL.

I get them and yes, I am worried about getting one on the big day. So, my dermatologist gave me a scrip for Valtrex (yes, the herpes drug!) As soon as you feel the tingle, you take it and it never comes out. I've used it before and it really works. So I'm all stocked up for the week of the wedding.

HTH

I used to get them but have not had one for many years. My doctor told me to make sure that I keep my lips moist. Ever since he told me this i hjave been obsessed about using chapstick. I am always applying chapstick to my lips. I have only had 2 sores over 10 years Chapstick works really well, you should try it

Never Cold Sores, but my mouth is sensitive and I get Canker Sores. The good thing is you don't see them, but they are sooo painful and I worry I can get one on my lip where it'll hurt to smile.

I use Valtrex also...It's great(I just hate having to pick it up from the pharmacy-they look at me funny) and I also love abreva......I am probably going to take the valtrex a couple of days before to make sure I don't get one, b/c I always do
