3 Months after finishing (now with pic!)

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Hi Everyone
it’s about 3 months after I finished my course and so far all is good! I’ve had perhaps 1 or 2 small spots since I finished although there are still a fair few red marks on my face but even those are fading.
The other day one of my friends who I hadn’t seen in [...]

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Well it’s 2 months since I finished my treatment and so far everything is going well. Still got some red marks and scars kicking around which is a bit irritating but no real spots at all.
 
That’s it really, I hope you’re all doing well!

Last derm appt today, finito!

So thats it I geuss, I’ll see out the last couple of pills and the month it’ll still be [...]

10 days to go

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Hi everyone.
Sorry I haven’t posted in ages, been pretty busy and it slipped my mind!
Well there’s 10 days to go till my final appointment. I’m really hoping I don’t get given more tablets, I’m looking forward to coming off them.
Most irritating side effect by far is my painful back, which is holding up my gym [...]

Week 10

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Ok peeps, kicking off week 10 here. Nothing much to report if you’ve been reading my other posts to be honest.
Skin is slightly worse if anything, a couple of nasty spots. Was kind of hoping for better now but it’s mostly scarring so its just a matter of time.
No other major side effects developments to [...]

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Hi all! I’m just inside of week 9 now and it’s gone pretty quick. Over halfway! I’ll make this a short post, with a quick roundup of my side effects:

Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t posted much!
So I’m now pushing 2 months and the half way mark! So what ails me you ask? Well the lips are dry as per usual. No problems with my scalp, still have an achey back and heels. Overall my skin is pretty good I guess, had a bit of [...]

Day 39

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Evening all, hope you’re all well.
Sorry I’m a little late with this one!
At the moment, the side effects are better than they were in my last post.  The back pain isn’t as bad except when I’m in the gym. So I’ve had to cut down on my back exercises a little but it’s ok for [...]

End of my first month

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Hi guys, it’s the end of my first month!
The news is mostly good. I went back home last night and my family all said my skin looked a lot better! My mum actually didn’t recognise me when she was picking me up. So that was really nice to hear obviously!
Had my follow up appointment with [...]

Week 3

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Well I’m back from Reading! And I very much appreciated having dryer skin. Got a few nasty spots now but I assumed that would happen anyway.
Generally, still just dry skin. My nose is a bit dryer but the Blistex is doing the job on my lips.
That’s about it really, think I”m having another breakout now [...]
