Hi, thanks for your reply! it does indeed, can't believe its a 1 year anniversary for me soon.. however i won't be celebrating that!

How are you coping?

errrmmmm getting there !!!! Seem to be on a bit of self distruct mode with the eating, so need to get back on track with eating the healthy stuff. Exercising most days so I think that has helped keep my sanity. Onwards and upwards. How are you doing a year in ?????

Thanks for asking, ok I think, I realised this morning I went for a whole hour without thinking about it , I was at the gym and the time and it was a hard work out, tyre flipping and kettle bells etc.

My OB has almost gone. They seem to come in two areas one being on the top of my leg but seem to get tingling sensations all over my body its doing my flaming head in! Not taking any meds though, just vit c and Lysine. Do you take anything sporty girl?

I used to be like that, thinking about it 24/7!! it does get better i promise!

Ahh good, mine took about a month to go, it was the most awful breakout, i was still at school at the time, and had to stay off for a full week! i don't take anything i don't need too, since i got it i only had 1 really little outbreak, and i've had nothing since, so i dont take anything
