You have to wait 3 months to repeat the blood test. It's a shame the doc just didn't do a pcr swab of your lips and be done with it.
Go pick yourself up some aveeno cold sore ointment with propolis in it ( under $10 and most drugstores/walmarts carry it ). Apply it every couple of hours during the day. If nothing else you'll have soft, kissable lips for the next couple of days :)
no - it won't give you a lot of bang for your buck ( it's basically done what it's going to do already ) and it's $$$ for most folks. Also it could potentially prolong how long until you'd get an accurate blood test result so why bother if you only have tingles and not obvious cold sores ( I hope that makes sense ).

People like me need your support!
Anyway I hate to wait for another 3 months to have another test, but it looks like there's nothing I can do at this time.
Do you think I should keep taking Valtrex every day?
