Wow, where did 2 weeks go?

Well, no dodgy mood swings, although one of my mates reckons that the side effect of “not being in touch with reality” would be an added bonus. lol. I’m not tired and sleeping all the time, in fact, I’ve gone the other way. I’ve got really bad insomnia and quite a lot of energy. Don’t know if this ois because I’m usually an active person anyway, I walk around outside plenty for my job. No achy joints yet. And blimey, am I hungry all the time!!!!! I’m constantly starving and having to stop myself from grazing……

My lips are permanently dry. Thank God for Burt’s Beeswax! Skin’s not too dry, but I’ve been applying  Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioner lotion every day. (God it smells nice!) My eyes are dry off and on, got some drops for that, and my hair has really really started drying out. I wear a hat for work and more often than not I’d have to wash my hair twice a day to keep it clean. I’ve gone to washing it every other day. Bought some Dove shampoo and conditioner for dry hair. Hopefully it’ll help. I’ve got the hairdresers this week, and I’m wondering if she’ll notice.

Spot-wise my skin had cleared up until yesterday. Now, I’ve got big ’spreader’ spots (IYKWIM) and acne has started to break out on my cheeks and jaw. I’ve got really bad spots in my scalp and my back and shoulders have really started to break out. God, it’s bloody painful on my shoulders. Still, behind my ears are still spot free for the first time in 10 years, so that’s good.

Started to get nose bleeds now. Had a mad one at 4.30 this morning. It actually woke me up not long after I’d managed to get to sleep!

Blood check in 1 week, I’ve started Benecol to help with the cholesterol, although mine’s normally low anyway, every little helps I guess. Derm appointment in 4 weeks.
