Oh no, found a new lesion! But had no idea it was there

Lol, well, that sucks! Guess my big night out did trigger something after all, but the weird thing is that I didn't sense anything coming on.

Only noticed a *very* mild burning sensation in one spot just now, so I whipped out my mirror and flashlight (while on the toilet, no less, haha) and found a faint ulcerated lesion that looks to be healing (I think). Same location as before. Not sure if there are more, so I'll have to take a better look later.

Hmmm, I wonder if it will get worse or is this it? No idea how a recurrence will play out for me. Also, I'm rather surprised that I had no warning. Maybe I'm just not attuned to the prodromal signs yet, or am one of those who doesn't get any warning? In any case, I knew I shouldn't have celebrated so soon, doh! Sigh, lol.

    So, nothing else seems to have happened so far, touch wood, and I'm no longer sure that was even a real recurrence! I definitely observed what looked like two lesions that just as quickly seemed to vanish, but I felt generally fine and still do, so could I have been mistaken somehow? Not sure what to make of this GH recurrence business! More "experimenting" needs to be conducted later this week, lol.
