Hi everyone,

Week four is here and my side effects this week have been dry skin on my body and achy joints. Facialy the dry skin has been minimal really, just on my nose.

I haven’t been good on the food front at all so i really need to be good now. The tiredness i have experienced has subsided, so that has been a plus. Not really much else to report really.

My skin is looking much better i had an break out last week that i was a bit concerned about but they have started to go now which i am happy about.

I still am quite bad on my back but i have been picking it a bit so i dont think that has helped much, however they are starting to dry up now.

I had a weird rash thing on my arm the other day they were like red dots, has anyone else experienced anything like that? I get quite itchy skin now and again too which isnt the greatest but dealable.

hope everyone is getting through this okay

I had a few patches of red dots on the back of my hands and on my arms, they then turned dry and itchy. I asked at the hospital yesterday (Week 4 appointment) and they confirmed it is just eczema. That’s what I though it was as I used to suffer from it as a child. I’d advise just moisturising it.

I am on week 6 and in the last week or so I have developed red dot like rashes in small patches - on both hands, the back of both arms and a patch at the top of one of my arms. This has been very itchy the last few days but I was kind of expecting it after reading a few diaries on here so I think it’s safe to say it is pretty normal.

I hope this puts your mind at rest, it’s good to hear other folk having the same side effects and knowing you’re not suffering alone! :o)

Good luck for the rest of your treatment!
