Which reminds me...

This story reminded me of another story.

One in which a few years ago, I felt a tingle in my lip.

Being a little um...hyper sensitive to bodily issues... I googled

"Lip tingling"

what comes up?

yes. HERPES. stage one TINGLE.

so...in an emotional panic, I ran to CVS and picked up a tube of this Abreva (NOT CHEAP!)

I begin to apply the product to my lip, three...to um...let's say nine times a day.

About two weeks go by, and it turns out, iIdidn't ever get a cold sore, and after being tested by the Dr. (yes went that far). Did not have (STILL DO NOT HAVE) the Herps.

but what did happen you ask?

My lip continued to tingle non stop, as my father explained was because my lip developed an addiction to the medication, and I was going through withdrawal.

to sum up = twenty dollars, and lots of tingling.
