Hi all,
7,350mg later, and i’m approaching the finishing line. Officially one week left to go, but I have 2 weeks extra medication after this for some reason. I have decided to take one week extra (so 17 weeks in total), and judge the situation at the end of week 17. I may use the extra tabs after that by taking one every now and again. I’ve read about people who pop a 20mg tablet when they get a spot which tends to quash the outbreak.
Skin is looking good. But I made the STUPID mistake of upping my dose from 70mg to 75mg this week for 5 days thinking it would help me reach my cumulative dose faster. What a difference 5mg makes! I thought due to constant daily changes in ‘bioavailability’ of the drug which basically refers to the actual amount absorbed into your blood once ingested which changes all the time, I thought adding an extra 5mg in the mix won’t cause too much disruption. but…….!
Despite this being only about a 7% increase (who’s the geek for working that out?!), it’s caused a small outbreak of boils on my legs: about 5 of them: big buggers! It was so painful at one point I could not sit down - altho they are healing fast. Also my skin on my arms and back is noticably drier and flakier. So take home message: don’t fook with ya dose lol.
Other prominent side effects this week: Countless nose bleeds, thinning hair is more noticable now.. a colleague commented on a ‘receding hairline’: cheeky biatch lol: i’m only 23! So i’m hoping for thick hair again when my course finishes; still got some uninflamed lumps which I call ‘wannabes’ which aren’t budging; and oddly enough painful fingertips.. oh and yeh.. i’m still a mardy manmoo!
That’s my progress and that’s all folks!
