theprettygreeneyes: I'm starting on Tetralysal/Lymecycline! (pills against acne)

Hello again!

So, basically, I just wanted to share my upcomming "journey" with you guys, 'cause I'm starting on Tetralysal, a pill, against acne. Im so excited! I really hope those pills work.

~~They better do, because I have to take them for three months, and I have a hard time swallowing pills. Plus, my mum payed hell for them.~~

I will be posting an update once a month, I think, with pictures.

The pill itself looks like that. My mum didn't think it was big, she said it was a normal size pill. Oh lord, I think it is huge. (Dont worry, it actually isn't)

And the box, they come in, look like that.

As you can see, mine is 300 mg. This box is quite large, there's 100 pills in there.

Okay, so, I have to take once a day. With minimum a ½ glass of water. I can't drink milk 2 hours before and after. I don't have a problem with that, I don't drink much milk anyway.

I took the first one today. 02/01/12.

I have very oily- and acneproned skin. (yet somehow, my skin is flaky.)

I took a biscuit, cheewed it, and put the pill in my mouth. Then I swallowed it all. Took me a while. Not good with swallowing things, if I can't chew them. But I got it down. Then I drank a cup of water.

I hope the sideeffects will leave me alone. (Not that there's a huge chance of getting some, and theyre not serious.)

Before I leave you for the night, I will add some pictures of my skin, so you can see how it is before I start, and then I'm going to keep posting pictures throughout the months. I hope I can see improvements myself, when I look at the pictures, in a month or so.
