Well, today was the day.
Finally got myself an appointment with a dermatologist, after 4 years of putting up with and accepting bad skin. (I’m now 20 and at university).
Went to the hospital, had a chat, showed them my skin (chest, back and face), had a blood test (three vials of blood), picked up my prescription.
Pretty quick and easy once you’ve got your appointment booked.
About 8 hours ago now I took my first two tablets (2 x 20mg - 40mg). Not noticed anything so far, I keep thinking my lips are drier than normal, but I think it’s too soon to blame on the tablets.
Just glad to have started this at last. I’m looking forward to the side effects and changes strangely, maybe as its a sign something is actually happening.
Going to stock up on some products when I next go shopping. Apparently blistex / vaseline for lips, and E45 for my skin.
I’ll see how it goes and report back next tuesday when my first week is over.
Kris.
