glad to hear that your levels stayed the same! That had to be encouraging. Have you come up with another moisturizer for your face? I actually ordered some of the Moisture Magnet, and it should arriv...

The Gel sounds amazing, Meg. I have an unfortunate tendency to sleep with my eyes at least partially open, which dries them out horribly. Maybe the gel would help? I will have to look for it tomorrow...

Hi, waytoooldforthis! Thanks for dropping by my log. Yeah, the GP's have been messing about for years, I've had a variety of comments ranging from 'well, I don't think your skin looks that bad' (NOT H...

Hooray for you, Kim! I knew you would get to this place eventually. Congratulations!

The unstuck car was a short-lived dream. I went out yesterday to an academic competition, and couldn't get back up the hill to come home, so once again, it is parked at the neighbors. Lovely. I am ...

I managed to go out, and get my car, and get back in yesterday, and it is a good thing. It has been snowing all morning, and I will definitely not be going out today. I've noticed since yesterday th...

Welcome Astarte (Love that name). I wish you the best of luck with your journey, and will keep things crossed that the double round of antibiotics will help keep your initial breakout at bay. I was o...

So glad that your exams are going well, and that accutane isn't to blame for the flushing!! Hope that you did well! I had a calico cat at one time that had 4 kittens. Two yellow and whites that look...

Hooray for you! Tapping the floors and walls and nearby trees for you (Might as well make the wood as fresh as possible, right?)!! So glad that you are seeing that light!!

It sounds like your derm is very insensitive. He is right about one thing... you WILL beat this! You'll kick the DJ out, and shut the party down, and eventually have that skin that you want. It's th...

I am doing quite well, though cabin fever might be about to set in. Along with another 4-6 inches of snow. I believe I'll be going out on Saturday, if I can at all possibly. Meg, the cyst that was ...

Amazing how things can change in a heartbeat, and with the spinning of tires. I attempted to go out and check the roads today, made it half way out, and .... I'm officially stuck. My car is parked in...

The snow has set in. It's falling at a steady rate right now. I went out to use the snow blower to make a path to the chicken house, and it more or less covered it by the time I was done! I don't mind...

I did have a nice relaxing day yesterday. Quite a bit of studying to keep me up in my classes, but that isn't necessarily stressful. The large cyst is not enflamed, and seems to be shrinking, but i...

Good Luck with your appointment Meg! I hope he can recommend something to help with the pain, and encourage the IB to finally wear itself out.

Thank you for the recommendation LLV! I've been trying all manner of things, so next time I get to Lexington I'll have to check that out. I've put a little memo-note in my cell phone so I'll remember ...

Kim, I sat here with tears and giggles and read your post, because it feels like you are right where I have been SO many times with my cysts.... except mine ALWAYS get extremely inflamed and painful. ...

I won't know how the labs look until Monday, unfortunately. I am very curious. My cholesterol was very low, and my liver function was fine last time, so I am curious what has happened to those numbe...

Awww, Meg, I'm so sorry it is such rough going for you. Hopefully things will start to clear up for you, and you'll start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel very soon. Did your derm say anythin...

OH, Kim, I think I would probably have had to cry over that one. I am so glad that you kept your humor about it! We've had some snow today, just enough to be annoying, mostly. Things were pretty sl...

I have completely lost track of the days on accutane. I know that I started 20, December, so I am somewhere around 26 or 27 days, I believe. So far there haven't been any major break outs, just the oc...

I love your analogy from the movie. I haven't seen it (I get nightmares very easily), but what you described is perfect.   I am on day 24 or 25, and so far I haven't had an IB, but I keep expect...

Hey, Ciara hope your studies are going well. Have you had any return of the flushing?

I love to read, but i don't get to do enough of it for fun. And really, it is kind of hard to find really good writing these days, it seems. The most popular books seem to be written at about a Jr. H...

These tips are great! Thank you girls for sharing them. I efoliated my lips very gently last night, and the results were remarkable, really. They hadn't been cracking and bleeding, but the peeling sk...
