Things are not going so well. I have dry patches on my arms, and they are multiplying. They are pink so they show quite a bit. My nose is dry inside and out. I am getting dry skin on my face (this hasn't happened til now) and I also have a dry patch on my face!! NOT easy to cover with makeup!! The smallest things like this just knock my self esteem down quite a few steps.
So I'll be going to the pool here soon and I'm worried about what the chlorine will do to my hair and skin. Anyone have any input on that?
I have back pain, pain in my calves, and ankles. I only get the back pain when I sneeze..weird. And I only get the other pains when I am at work and when I get home from work.
I ran out of my St. Ive's apricot scrub and I have been using it all along..well since I haven't used it in the last few days maybe that's why I developed this dry patch..ugh. I better buy some more!
I've been tanning outside and fake baking on rainy days and I'm fine. The only thing I noticed was my neck got pink. That's my sensitive spot now that I'm on accutane.
I also cried myself to sleep the other night. Depression?? Well, I don't think so because I had reason to be upset. A guy I worked with died on Thursday in a freak accident. He was a really sweet old man..maybe 60's or 70's and he just had eye surgery. Well, surgery went fine. Next day he was under his car doing something and the jack broke and the car collapsed on him. I'm so torn up by this. Just how it happened. I was working with him one day and the next day he's gone. The weird thing is, on Tuesday of that week he talked to my uncle (the boss) in his office and he gave his life to Christ. By Thursday he's gone. It's just insane. ANDD on Monday I think it was? My uncle told all of the employees to pray for Mike because he is having eye surgery and my uncle was getting choked up about it. I'm thinking..Ok...what the big deal, he's just getting cataracts which is very common. But my uncle was like "He really needs a lot of prayer" so it was almost like he knew something was going to happen. I don't know.
Second reason I cried myself to sleep was because of my cat. She was sick all day and growing up with cats, most of the time if they are sick, it's not all day. She was throwing up foam-bad sign. She was seen chewing on my sister's laptop cords-bad sign. And acted very sluggish almost in a daze. I was really really worried about her. She wouldn't eat or drink. Then late that night she was laying on my bed and I was ready to go to sleep and I wanted her out of my room. So I try to pick her up and she growls at me. She NEVER has done that. THEN I try using the sheet on the bed to kind of push her off. She hisses at me and snaps at me. Again, never happens. At this point I am crying. I finally got her out by going downstairs and shaking the treat container. She doesn't eat the treat. So I run back upstairs and get in bed. I was hysterical over this. I think it was because I read all these stories through google about her condition and I thought she was going to die during the night. But she is fine now, thank God.
Alright, enough for now. Hoepfully my skin will get better soon because these dry patches aren't attractive.
PS. My derm never told me to get a blood test and I am going to my second month appt. within a few days! Anyone have this problem? I heard that he may not have told me to get one because I am on a low dosage. Plus before I started treatment he said they would do the blood tests there in their office...?
