Cold Sores

My immune system has been a complete wreck for a month now. I have been on steroids due to hives, an allergic reaction, and a relapse. I just developed 3 cold sores yesterday. I got one in the morning by evening I had another one and then that night I got the 3rd one. I am really starting to wonder if I am going to get any better but to keep my kids especially my daughter from worrying I always make jokes and goof off about it. I had them laughing so hard last night. I yelled o my goodness I have herpes now and then I told them how the cold sore meds tasted worse than baby food. I guess once these 12 days are over of Prednisone we will see if anything else decides to go wrong.

I started Valtrex for this after my Neuro told me it would subside, dermatologist told me I had rocia and then my primary laughed and said it's herpes. Took the Valtrex for 30 days and it cleared up. I now take it everyday to ward it off.
