I read one of your previous posts in which you mentioned others accusing you of being a pessimist and perhaps they had a valid point.

While yes, herpes is at best a bothersome disease and at worst an utter nightmare, is it too much to believe that if a cure is not already in existence then it soon will be?

Is it also too much to believe that someone working in the Cullen Lab has reason to be excited about ongoing research and the results of experiements taking place there...even if she does not relay the information in the matter you deem appropriate for a scientist/researcher.

Please don't lose hope and this disease to steal your joy. Life is still worth living in spite of...IJS...
