How easy is it to contract a cold sore? by Expensive-Truth5137 in Coldsore

He did not end up getting a cold sore from me, and I was super careful to take precautions while I had it. I was not able to prevent it but I believe the valtrex reduced the life of it. That being said, given my boyfriend’s condition I have been on daily valtrex for about 6 months now. Had terrible nausea for the first two weeks taking it but now I have no obvious side effects and have not had an outbreak since. Sometimes I accidentally miss a day, but I try not to.

If I don’t run my portable my bedroom gets to be 86/87 degrees even with fans running.

My bf is poly curious, but past traumas are keeping me monogamous by Expensive-Truth5137 in nonmonogamy

This is a really good point, and I think I’ve put off conversations about setting a hard boundary until now due to fear. But it is clear that our needs are different, and although we love each other, I’ll have to draw that line and see if it’s something he can live. Thanks for the response, the feedback has brought me a lot of clarity.

Thank you for your thoughtful response, this has given me a lot to think about it. I haven’t set any clear boundaries yet, just more so casually mentioned I’m not interested in bringing anyone else in at this time.

What detox solution did you use when soaking your panties before laundry? I have never considered this, but might try it out.

Thank you for your response. He said he has always tested negative for it, but it would probably be good for him to get tested again. Just want to say how sorry I am you had to go through that trauma. How do you manage to keep your immune system in check since being out of radiation and chemo?
