It’s amazing how the little things make such a big difference

I read somewhere that when you’re having a herpes outbreak it sometimes presents the same symptoms that a common cold does, you know sore throat, stuffy nose, the whole shebang. So, now I’m sick and the first thought through my head was “oh shit, I hope I’m not having an outbreak”. I’m not, but apparently no matter how much I think I’m ok with my diagnosis apparently it’s always going to be right at the edge of my thoughts. It’s kinda disconcerting to think that the microscopic world is infecting my body and trying to destroy me one cell at a time. I don’t like it, and I don’t like herpes for making me hyper-aware that this is going on. Currently these are the little microbes that are invading my body and setting up shop to make me miserable.

Herpes- Almost makes you not mind the invasion, doesn’t it?

Common cold- this little sucker gets around too.

Sore throat-This is the one I hate the most
