Haha not yet! Although it randomly started bleeding a few days ago & has now scabbed over. It doesn't behave like acne or even an infection at all so I'll probs ask the Derm about it in a few weeks. Maybe it's actually healing up, in which case I better get the vino ready

[NoMoreDotToDot]

Fingers crossed it is healing then. I'll join you in a glass of vino..as long as it is a decent white! Lol. Ooo rebels we are drinking whilst on the tablets

I've drank on a few weekends but don't tend to get ridiculously drunk so I think it's probably ok... Haven't turned jaundice yet

[NoMoreDotToDot]

Well that's you and me both. Drink wine 1-2 x each week when I have company. Probably works out to 1.5 bottles in total per week.

Note: Please no one come and preach that I/we are damaging our bodies and about to drop dead, as it will go in one ear and out the other. I listen to just my Derm (and my blood results!) No one else that's not medically qualified

Yeah my liver loves the workout. Everyone knows that drinking makes it stronger.

Rorius, Rorius! How's it going?

[Rorius]

Sorry, I've had a super busy time lately & totally forgot about this!

 

I'm unsure of the exact day now but it's a bit before 4 months now. I've dropped down to 40mg as of around 2 weeks ago & I probably have enough supply for another 2-3 weeks, so almost over!

 

As for results, it's pretty amazing. I haven't had a spot for a good couple of weeks now, and haven't had a big & worrying one for maybe a month. I still have a few scars that are a bit raised & the drugs make them appear quite red but they don't really bother me. Side effects have been manageable all the way along for me & have only been dry lips & very mild flaking mainly. So success I think!

 

Also for anyone who is worried it will affect you physically (as in cause muscle pain/aches)- it really doesn't.

Pleased to see you back with a positive update. Miracle drug! Very lucky to have minimal side effects too Do you have derm appointment at the end of your course?

[Rorius]

Nope, I have an "open appointment" which means I can go and see her for whatever reason after treatment is over, but everything has been fine so I doubt I'll need to. Quite looking forward to getting off them now & being able to ditch the constant lip moisturising & red face. Although I'm pretty sure my face was more red when I used to pepper it with BP. Hopefully I'll never need a course again...
