Nice!!! :D


Thanks beautiful! <3

Going to see the Doc tomorrow at 9:20 AM to review my blood test, and check up on how I'm doing.
I'm going to show him how bad my lips are, they got so cracked they were bleeding yesterday. Going to see if he could possibly give me something medicated to put on this.
I'm also going to tell him about the nosebleed I had last week.
Hope all goes well there.

Granted. Excuse my hair, it's tied up in a ponytail lol. I'm a hairy motherfucker atm.
Day 24 of medication (technically it's day 25 cause it's past midnight)
I'm really liking the progress so far, you can't really tell my lips are dry in this picture, but they are still bad, even when I'm using this Aquaphor like 50 times a day.
I should have taken a before pic, because before my face was so red and inflamed.

Had a visit with the doctor this morning.
First blood test is OK, everything came back fine.
Will do the same process in one month from now.
First thing he pointed out was in the improvement in my skin, so I'm happy about that.

Also - a new side effect I'm experiencing (though i'm not 100% sure its caused by the medicine, doctor said it could very well be)
I cut my nails the other day, and in a few of my fingers my fingertips are so sensitive, it's like I cut my nails way too short that feeling, but I didn't.
Like the skin at the tip of my fingernails feel sore.

Definitely a side effect. my GF is right at the 3 month mark and her fingernails get super sore around the cuticles. All ties to the dryness. Soak them in hot water for a while, then lather up with a thick crème type lotion.

Haven't updated this in a couple days since nothing much new is going on.
It's day 30, and I was at a buddies house and I had another minor nose bleed. Only lasted a few minutes but there was still traces of blood afterwards.
I'll do another picture update soon.

Wow where did the time go? I can't believe how fast time flies.
First month is over.
And I'm already happy with the improvements that are visible.
The side effects have been tough but manageable, currently.
I just like to remind myself every day that I made the right choice, and to take it day by day.

Has been a little since an update! Sorry guys, been kinda busy with things!
I believe I'm on day 42, i had a skin rash on my hands the other day, but I used someones recommendation to buy Eucerin creme, I've loaded that on my hands before bed recently and the rash is nearly all gone.
So far its been okay, you can definitely see a difference in my face. And even on my body, had it on my back too.
I cut my nails yesterday, hopefully they dont get dry like last time.
Been drinking lots of water, keeping hydrated at all times.. man this shit really sucks the moisture right out of you.

Day 47 now.
Drying up on my whole body, even down there if you know what i mean :(
My face got a bit worse again, but it doesn't last long, jeez this sucks :(
This stuff really can make your whole body feel off.
Today I had a bad day, and I was almost thinking about calling it quits but that is weak minded of me.. i can't quit now, it's not even that i want to, but this is just shitty :(
I just need to take it day by day and push through. I just wish this had never happened to me, but I can't do much about that.. because it just did.
