Both my sisters and my father get cold sores. They've gotten them for most of their lives. I've never in my life had one. Last night I went to sleep and woke up in the morning with something weird at the corner of my mouth.

I'm freaking 29 years old. I went 29 years of my life without ever getting a cold sore and now I think I have one.

WTF. ;_;

The only think I've changed about my diet was that I've stopped drinking ice tea and switched to low calorie drinks. Basically things that use Splenda or artificial sugar. Funny as hell that I do a little research and find out that these things can actually diminish your immune system and can cause stuff like cold sores. <.<

Obviously, I must have the HSV 1 virus in me all along if I'm even capable of getting a cold sore but for a freaking artificial sweetener to weaken my immune system, feed it and to bring it out at the age of 29?

I'm going back to real sugar...and vitamins. I've also gone to sleep at 7:30pm twice within the last 8 or so days. I don't think this new drink is doing me any favors. Just not willing to go through this to lose weight.

Keep the 5lb's and 7:30pm bedtime.

For frigs sake. I don't want cold sores. <.<
