So I’m on day 16, this post is a couple of days late as I lost count which day i was on already!! This will be short as I just wrote a massive post and my computer crashed and lost it all! ARRGGHH! So I’ll just cover the side effects. Its been a positive 2 weeks, my face is drier but not so bad that its causing me any problems. My spots have been drying up, and although loads of new ones are appearing as normal, when they do come they have been drying up and dissappearing a million times quicker than before. My lips are very dry but I have been using Nivea SOS, which is great, but I have also now started using Carmex and I love it! I’ve got through 2 tubes in the past week! It’s keeping my lips looking normal, which is good coz otherwise nosey people ask questions! I’ve also bought some Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. This too is great and I would recommend it for lips and around the corners of your nose. I think it’ll be good for everywhere else when my dose gets upped from 30mg to 60mg in a couple of weeks and my face gets much drier.
My hair is really dry and scalp is falling apart! Started using a dandruff conditioning shampoo which is helping. Other side effects are lots of headaches and neck ache almost all the time. I’ve been taking pain killers for these though which has really helped.
All in all a really positive first 2 weeks, I love that my face is not REALLY greasy all time like before and my make up is actually staying in place, which I have never experienced before! Definately the right decision, despite the side effects.
Hope you’re all doing just as well, Jenny x x x
