Who is the master and who is the slave?

Hi my name's Marti, I'm 26 and I live in Victoria, Australia. Boring part as follows:

My first pimple erupted with a vengeance at the tender age of 9 - it wasnt large by any means, but my mum bought me aapri apricot scrub to try and combat it. If you ever used that stuff (circa 1991) - it was like getting the roughest sandpaper and trying to remove your face with it.

Since then, I have had an ongoing battle with "accers" - almost 18 years. I've been on differin, minomycin, diane (contraceptive), benzac washes, otc washes, creams, spot treatments - anything that promised something, I bought. I've tried proactiv - but luckily I only used it for a month or two (gift from a friend) before it could have any lasting effects.
I've had glycolic peels, been poked and prodded, lanced and squeezed.
I can't do roaccutane because of some problem with my lipids/triglycerides/cholesterol - diane actually took my cholesterol to 12-13 (meant to be between 5-6) and triglycerides to about 80 (meant to be 2-3 or something similar) - and my doctor still thinks Im a medical marvel, I had nurses staring at me at the dermo because they had never seen a LIVING person with those kind of levels... but I digress.

I ordered DKR on 7 Feb 09 and I'm anxiously waiting its arrival. I've gotten to a point where I'm sick of feeling like I have concentrated sunburns on my face, sick of wasting money on things that just.dont.work. and so tired of crying in the mirror when I wash my makeup off. My partner suffered SEVERE acne in his teens and early to late 20's, but its hard to listen to him when he says "It'll clear up on its own, or it may never, you'll just have to wait and see". I dont WANT to wait, I want it to be gone. I'm sick of it ruling my life, sick of not being able to go get the papers on a sunday morning without making up my face...
My doctor has also put me back on minomycin - 2x50g a day, so maybe that will help work on the inside while I focus on the outside...

When I get DKR, I'll post some pre-DKR photos up before my first use and update weekly - to do it daily would be like watching paint dry. I know it wont happen straight away - lord knows I've waited long enough. Maybe no-one will read my log, maybe they will - and if they do I hope that if this stuff works, it convinces them to STOP buying otc stuff...

Anywho! I'll update when my goodies arrive!

Thanks for reading... whoever you are!
