well, in my last post i was seriously not a happy bunny but i’m very glad to say things have calmed down a little since then!!
last time i was on the brink of giving up as i was beetroot red, flaky, spotty, shrivelled and had major back pain…NICE!!
thankfully the pain reduced after a few days… also, i think some of the redness etc might have been a reaction to a moisturiser i was using. i’ve since changed to using E45 cream on my face during the day and a vaseline intensive repair balm at night when its really dry (this is a wierd one as it’s super-greasy - how it used to be natually when i hated my skin! - but it works a treat if you want to wake up with skin that actually feels nourished rather than skin that feels like your pillow was sneakily replaced by a cheese-grater!!)
so now my dose has been doubled to 60mg since last tuesday. haven’t noticed any real increase in side-effects…YET!!! was warned at my last appointment that they WILL come (she’s a real ray of sunshine my nurse!!) skin is overall slightly improved but am still getting new ones, mostly in places i never got them before which is a bit odd. also, the ones i do get are HUGE!!! absolute corkers!!! thankfully so far these have been hidden from the eyes of joe public by clever hairstyles and cover-all-sins clothes (thank god the weather’s a bit cooler!!!)
anyways, am out on the town tonight…was planning a big night as its been a stressful week at work but after reading andy’s post about his hangover from hell on only two beers i think i may have to pace it a bit more (i’m a light-weight at the best of times!!!)
have a good weekend all!! xx
