Hello boys and girls, well not much to report on really. My nose has been really sore inside for about the past 2 weeks, and I have my fingers crossed that this doesn’t result in nosebleeds in the future…..as that would be really embarassing right in the middle of a lecture…

Things aren’t too bad on the dislocated shoulder front - I went to register with the Uni doctors so I could get a doctor’s note for work, and when I mentioned I was on roacc she looked startled and said “Where’s your acne!?!?” Hahah, so I was rather pleased with that one. I was wearing makeup and the spots are still coming and going, but SO :p I do have a mammoth of a spot on my right cheek, the biggest one I’ve had since on roacc, so big that he has a name. His name is Bille Jean. I also have about 4 spots on my back which is the most I’ve had in that area for about 2 months!! I’d better not get any more there.

I’m convinced also that the muscle and joint pain side effect isn’t going to help my spazzy arm in the healing process :( I’m still in the sling!

I’ve also got to the point where I hardly apply lip blam anymore because I can’t be bothered and I’ve also gotten so used to the dryness that I just let my lips dry out and I put a bit of carmex on every so often when I remember. I’m still applying E45 cream to my face morning and night.

Bye! x

Alison, reading your posts is like a mirror of what I’m going through, from having a cold and not being able to breathe at night, to having infections underneath fingernails, right down to the massive spot on the right cheek! amazing! Hope the shoulder gets better, neen x

Andi - I know, bloody flo rida indeed! The song seems to cause excessive (dangerous) dancing for me…everybody stay clear!

Neen - How bizarre! Best thing about this site is that there are sooo many people going through the same thing together. It keeps me going when I’m having one of those days and ask myself “Why is this happening to me?” I only have to come on here to see I’m not the only one!

Good luck guys x
