I have two coldsores and a spot on my lip right now. They are so sore arent they. I dont know if they are to do with fibro, because i never get spots at all i was one of the lucky teenagers. The only time this happens is when i have had a streesful time and its near the end. Its like all the stress is being let out. If you get what i mean lol. My motherinlaw says its because i am run down who knows.

I hope they clear up soon, hugs, kel xxxx
