Hi all,
Can’t believe it’s the end of week 9 already. Time is going so fast. Been a busy week. Was away for work til tuesday, which was most unsettling as i wasn’t surrounded by my own washing facilities and felt out of control with my skin for a while. Now working alllll weekend. Rubbish.
I’ve had a nasty dental abscess this week which I am convinced Roacc has had some part to play in it.. I’ve always had good dental health, and from about week 4 my gums have been sore, now amounting to a painful abscess making me feel nauseaus. Maybe an unlisted side-effect? - Who Knows - oh the joys of taking steroids!
My sharp tongue continues to offend all who dare irritate me! I tend to be coming out with one-liners which murder a vibrant conversation. They should list on the side-effects “may impair social skills”. Upon reflection, it really is cringe-worthy thinking about some of the stuff I come out with.. but I always declare apologies and blame it “on the tablets” which makes a joke of it at work :p!
So.. progress-wise: Overall I think my skin is doing quite well. Still scabby in places, and my period of non-dry skin has ended leaving me with dry skin on my eye-lids, ears, all over my arms and upper back. I am moisturising quite conservately as My derm seems to think over-kill will affect the Roacc’s efficacy. So it’s all very attractive at present.. flakyness galore. 
There is someone I know who keeps asking me out for a drink (who I haven’t seen for a while, who I fancy the pants off!), and I keep putting him off.. hoping to stall him until the flaky situation resolves itself/scabs heal. ARGH!.. Bring on week 16!
Tiredness continues, but I have adapted my life (to the further neglect of my social life) to get at least 10 hours per night if I can. Any less, and I’m like a zombie the next day. Also blushing is still commonplace.. whenever I feel under any pressure or stressed, I go bright-red!.. And i’m usually quite an unflappable (word?!) person.
7 weeks left! Although my skin is not clear at the moment due to scabs, red marks etc. actual acne infection is very low on my skin which is great! Finger’s crossed it will stay like this. It’s so nice not to have blackheads anywhere.. They make such a difference to the appearance of your skin.. more so than I realised before they had gone.
Anywayz - thats about it.. these entries are so cathartic! I hope all you RYS users are happy. hopeful and holding on to their humanity :p.
Until next time, from all the team.. Goodnight! *haha - did i mention I losing my sanity too :p*
