Hi all just thought I would update on my progress. I found my face was really flaky for the first month or so but has settled down a lot with just a few patches of dryness, the redness has stayed so I use concealer+tinted moisturiser or foundation. My lips are always dry so I’m never far from my pot of carmex!
I’m into my 4th month and have suffered with back and muscle pain and calcification in some tissues which can ache quite a lot. I stopped going to the gym and running after the hardening of the tissue (didn’t want to take the risk of more!) I am finding with the hot weather I’m getting rashes on my feet/legs and hands/arms even if I keep out of the sun! Must be like a prickly heat type of thing.
As for the spots….well I think my face isn’t so bad but only had the small white heads on it anyway, am still getting huge cysts on my back and chest though around 3 ‘active’ ones now but generally I think it is a bit clearer.
I see my derm today I wonder if he will up my dose, I’m on 60mg already.
He did say I would be on it for 6 months but can you stay on it longer than that?
Anyway mustn’t lose hope! It will be worth all the pain in the end!! O to wear a backless dress!!
