ROACCUTANE: Day 5 to day 11

Hi,

Sorry I haven't blogged in the past week or so. It has been a manic week, so much work.

The Roaccutane treatment is going alright. I've started to get some dry areas around my nose and between my eyebrows,but nothing too annoying. I'm moisturising a lot and making sure I drink enough water.

I promise I'll blog about my skincare routine tomorrow.

The side effects have arrived.... AUCH! Or it might be a fly which I caught from someone, who knows.

I assumed that they would surface soon, but not this soon. Basically I woke up today with the headache from hell, fever, soar throat and a tiny bit pain in my joints. I don't know if that I run did yesterday was the greatest idea I've had...but I can't help it. I NEED to work out! But I guess I need to give a rest for a week or so...

Been drinking Lemsips' all day today... For those of you that don't know what Lemsip is, it's THE BEST painkiller on the face of this planet if you ask me.
The Lemsip MAX contains 200 mg of guaifenesin, which helps to relieve "Chesty Cough", in addition to 1000 mg paracetamol and 12.2 mg of phenylephrine hydrochloride (12.18 mg of phenylephrine hydrochloride in Lemsip Max All In One Liquid) which aims to relieve headache and sore throat, fever, body aches and pains and a blocked nose.

It's just that this REALLY came at a bad time... I got to hand in 3000 words on my dissertation in the morning and I've got a film to edit for a client.

Besides that, no dry skin etc. yet, which is good! On the weekend something I'll try and write about my morning skincare routine.

ROACCUTANE: Day 3

I know I said I was going to write about my morning routine today, but I have postpone it until the weekend because of work.

Feeling pretty average today, no side effects etc.

Sorry about the short post.

It's only a short update today, been a long day and I need some sleep.

No major side effects so far. My doctor told me that it might take a few days before any possible symptoms might appear. He also said I should be sure to moisturise from day one. The better I am at moisturising, the less dry skin I'll get. I'm also drinking a ton of water/fluids, so I'm peeing like a pregnant woman, haha!

Tomorrow I'll tell you about my morning skin care routine, what products I use etc.
