Re: I was cured.

I can only echo these sentiments completely.

I'd say I lost around a year to 18 months of my life due to this shit. Went back to University last year and was shocked to realise that I was attracting the attention of 2 or 3 fit lasses.

Got a girlfriend now who honestly didn't notice my condition and when I told her, her reaction was: "I did notice that your lips were quite dry some mornings."

This summed it up for me. By using Batrafen or Calendula and peeling when required I have become so good at maintaining my lips that people honestly don't know anything is wrong with them. Occasionally when I'm extremely stressed I still get the "white line" across each lip but if you make sure you rub your lips in the shower every morning you can prevent this.

I still have 3 - 5 squares in the bottom centre of my top lip which are the most noticeable to me but I generally peel these every 2 or 3 days and they're not too bad.

Kissing, which was the thing that worried me the most, also isn't a problem and my girlfriend seems to enjoy giving my top lip a little lick when we're being intimate!

You can have a happy and fulfilling life with this. Just find something that helps you maintain the lips and get out there.
