Acne cure - Starting on month 3 of of 3! (update)

Hello, I'm back with an update!

So, I am now in the third month of taking these pills, and it's the last month. Fortunately.

Last month there was a small difference, which got me all excited. Maybe these pills would actually work, right?

Nah. Guess I shouldn't have got my hopes up. But honestly, seeing a small difference, did get my hopes up - just a little. 

Well, turns out now, my acne is as it was when I started, if not worse, I can't tell myself, but maybe others can. 

I don't know why they're not working, maybe because I'm only on one pill a day? But I'm actually happy that I am not on a bigger dosis, because these pills smells like cat wee, and eating one banana a day, in three months, make you pretty tired of bananas.

Imagine if I should take two pills a day, that would be two bananas a day, in three months! Ugh. Or well, my banana problem aside, (nobody else probably have a problem swallowing pills with a banana, hah)

I just want to finish these pills, and then go to the doctor again, and pray for that I'll this time, get something that works. I'm tired of going to the doctor, and getting something that doesnt work, or only works for some months, with only a small impact. People who have tried going to the doctors multiple times, getting only crap, probably understand this. We just want a cure against acne, doesn't matter what it is.

My doctor said that these pills would work, that was for sure. Dear doctor; you were wrong.

When I finish this cure-thing, and go to the doctor, I really hope he'll give up all his "you don't have enough acne to go to a dermatologist" or "a dermatologist can't help your kind of acne, it's not cystic" talks. 

I want to go to the dermatologist.

Well, well. Lets see.

Acne cure - Starting on month 2 of of 3! (update)

Hello again, 

I'm back with the first monthly update of my "acne cure". 

(3 months on lymecycline.)

I ran out of time yesterday, so I didn't get time to make this post, but now it's here - a day late.

So, firstly, before I start, my camera wasn't in its friendly mood, so the pictures isn't that good, I'm sorry for that. Hope you can see the small difference anyway. :-)

Okay, getting started, I do think they work. Slowly, not so noticeable, but I do see a small difference.

My smaller pimples are nearly gone, and my forehead is getting clearer. (Me likey!)

I still have very oily skin, and red too, but nothing I can't handle. It's always nice when your acne is clearing up, even just a little.

I haven't had any sideeffects, not what I know of, atleast. Im really happy that I haven't got them, I know one of my good friends who is on these pills too, she has some sideeffects. But she bites the sour apple and continues, what a girl.

I do still have problems swallowing them, but I figured out, that if I take them with a banana, it glides down easily. 

I remember the first days of taking the pill, I was horrified. I would get nervous just by thinking about I had to swallow a pill that evening. My heart would race at the speed of the light when I should swallow it, and if I didn't get it down in the first try, well, let us just say my heart went really crazy.

But not anymore. Now they come down in my first try. Or mostly. If they don't, I just try again, without thinking too much about it. 

The pill itself is pretty soft, if you squish it. And boy, it does not taste nice! Well, you can't really taste it since you're swallowing it, or I can't, but if you have to burp the hours afterwards, be warned that your burp will have the taste of the smell of the pills. Smells like hay too me. 

But nothing unmanageable. :-)

So, next month, at this time, you will see the last update of my acne cure. There might come an extra update though, a month after I finish, to see if the results lasts. 

 

FYI: The redness on my right eye isn't acne, it's what happens 

if you don't see there's a snowball coming your way. :-)

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.

I am gonna put two links down here (when time comes) , one to month 2, and one to month 3, so the posts are easy to find.
