60mg post 1

It's probably been 4-5 days on the 60mg dose. I take one 20mg in the morning and 2x 20mg at night. 

I moved back into college. The heat may have something to do with my dryness. During the night my lip split in the middle. It's unfortunately painful and I've tried my best to keep it really hydrated. 

No other awful symptoms. No true period break out this month and I'm certainly not complaining! 

Day 30 / 1 month

Because these posts tend to generally be the same, I will update maybe once a week.
I went back for my second blood test and consultation. I am hoping things are just fine.
Breakouts have not subsided and I am back to menstrual breakouts, which may never subside. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but we will see.
No serious changes in my skin lately. I think my body got mostly used to the 40mg dose. Lips are definitely "falling off" it's challenging for me to not want to discard the dead skin and just leave it alone. Aquaphor is also annoying because you have to apply the regular stuff with your finger and the stuff meant for your lips tastes awful - like so terrible you shouldn't put it on before you eat!
I was told I could drink "some" which is nice. Time to unwind!

Days 22,23,24&25

Forgot about posting! And taking pictures. 

I'll have to resume that so I have a good photo trail of improvement. My habits have not subsided although my magical unicorn horn is no longer with me. Definitely a huge pain to get rid of even after the dermo appointment. 

We will see how the next round goes as this comes to an end. Another blood test, etc. 

Also we will see how the few days without pills pan out. 

Lips are a hot mess. Ugh. 

Days 20 & 21

You would think the cystic pimples would become more rare at this point...nope.
3 weeks in: dry patches, weird blackhead breakout, unfortunate non-period related break out, chapped lips...Definitely unfortunate not to be able to drink alcohol. :(

Hopefully this will be worth it!

Days 18 & 19

Yesterday I went to the dermatologist I take care if some cystic pimples. What pain!

Today the swelling seems to have subsided. My nose is suffering dryness. I applied vitamin e oil this morning. It seems to have helped some. 

The break out is coming to an end but it hurts nonetheless. Also I need to find a remedy for my black heads. I've never had these before! I wonder what te Claravis is doing to my body...

Day 17

How odd! A major break out with deep set pimples. Going to the dermo today to have these taken care of ASAP!

I've been forgetting to do nightly pictures, oops!

Days 15 & 16

Definitely getting more pronounced dry patches here. Yuck.

Skin is definitely clearing up and I re-planted my habit seed. Day 2 is going well!

I need to find a way to put the Aquaphor in an application tube because putting it on with my finger every 15 minutes is getting annoying.

Also, it seems as if my pores are widening. I used to be able to exfoliate that look away but I'm worried about exfoliating too much and creating redness from irritation and dryness and not being able to heal/ create scabs. Oh no!

Looking forward to DIY aquaphor solutions!
