hi guys
ok so ive just pushed through week 14 and we are definitly seeing improvements now. a new spot is now the exception much more than the norm (i used to get at least 2 a day - i dont think ive had 2 in about a month recently, which is fantastic).
as ever though I cannot be content and am irritated by the redness of my chin and the marks down my cheeks. im sure they will go eventually. when I see the Derm i will see what can be done.
i am also going to have to go on a tea total soon: been drinking far too much recently. I havent felt any different, but im sure i will be. It would be so gutting if I was taken off Roac because I’d been a prick with alcohol so I’m gonna stay off the drinks for a good while. Luckily I’m on a low dosgae (30mg) because the Derm assumed I would drink at uni - at the time I was upset as it meant I would be on the drug longer, but now I see why he did it and am very thankful indeed. I should really be more careful.
other side effects are coming back I think. I had a couple of weeks without excessively dry skin, but thats coming back now and my lips are really dry as well - fair enough I can take these things now. I think everyones much more stoic after being on roac for a little while and sorta just accepts the rough with the smooth.
I hope theres more smooth than rough for everyone at the moment though - hope alls well n stuff.
