So this past week I've had massive pustules on my face, neck, and back. A lot of the ones on my face have cleared up, but the ones around my jaw and neck are really painful and angry-looking. I haven't been drinking much water lately, so my eyes are dry as well, and they burn a lot. I probably look like a pothead with my red eyes and generally mangy appearance. Niiice.
My back aches are less of a problem, but every once in a while I have a sharp, stabbing muscle pain in my lower back, often on the right side.
Oddly, and I wonder if this has anything to do with the isotretinoin, my last period ended a few days early, was amazingly light, and had NO CRAMPS. This is especially weird, as I have a Paraguard IUD, which is supposed to make those symptoms worse. Hopefully I'll remember to ask my dermatologist about that.
Other than all that, there isn't much else going on in my life. I'm not sleeping much, but that's to be expected. I'm a night owl by nature, and I have to wake up at 6:30 four days a week for classed, and 7:30 on the other weekday. Saturday and Sunday I (mercifully) have nothing to do. If I get the job I was just interviewed for, I'll be working the graveyard shift at least once a week. Hoo boy, that'll be fun. I almost don't want the job because my grades are fantastic when I'm not employed, but I can't sell my plasma for extra cash as long as I'm on these meds. Unemployment is really not an option if I want to have a life and pay my bills.
Okay, off to read some feminist blogs.
