Hey everyone,
Well technically today was my last day but I’m finishing the pills which should take me till next Tuesday. SO ready to be done…
Had one tiny spot this morning which, unbelievably, has gone already… However, I’m still picking at sores on my face (not spots, just old scabs, gross I know) which are taking FOREVER to heal. Also, the cracks at the side of my mouth are a nightmare, absolutely dreadful, probably the worst side-effect I’ve had to endure! I have a mark the size of a penny at the side of my mouth where I’ve picked and it’s healing so slowly! However, that’s my biggest problem and I need to remember that it’s the Roaccutane that’s GIVEN me that, so it should go quickly once I finish the course. Spot wise, nothing to complain about… I had so many ups and down but it’s only been in the last couple of weeks in which I’ve literally stopped getting spots (yes, I know I got that tiny one this morning). Once these marks heal, nothing will remain (touch wood).
Seeing the Derm on Tuesday, just for a final check up.
I’m tired, and even more so, tired of Roaccutane. The final hurdle doesn’t seem as easy as I’d expect. My skin is great and I looked the same at work ALL day today and didn’t apply another coat of make-up once. It’s just, I feel so sick of it, sick of being tired, sick of having fuzzy eyesight (which I still don’t know whether it will return to normal post-Tane), sick of dry lips, sick of the sides of my mouth falling apart in front of my eyes… SICK SICK SICK.
Six days to go! Come on Annina!
Anyway, stick at it everyone… my significant improvement has only really just happened and I was incredibly disheartened from weeks 8-12!
Good luck!
Nina, x
