I did my monthly blood work Tuesday morning. They drew blood from a different spot than normal and it left my arm a little sore. Weird! Got the call from the doc the next day. Cholesterol and triglycerides are still just a bit high, but are leveled off, and my white blood cell count is still a little low. I know Accutane is supposed to leave you a bit lethargic, and I don't know if the meds themselves are causing thing the low blood cell count or if they're low on top of that, but that has to be why I'm so tired all the time. I have absolutely no energy or motivation to do anything except get through work, and go home and chill on the couch.
Last week has to be the WORST so far with chapped lips. They've been peeling so bad! And I can not keep a thing of chap stick to save my life. I always have it at work. Some how leave it there, come in the next day, and boom, gone. Fine one that I lost a week ago (usually in my laundry), use it for a day, and gone again! These past 2 months I've probably bought 3 chap sticks, and had 3 or 4 at home that I've had already or some sort of lip salve from a birch box, and now they're all missing. I haven't had one in about 4 days and I'm dying! But I then have no energy to stop at the store to buy a new one. Woe is me.
I go to NY at the end of this week. Hoping the change of pace perks me up, gets the ball rolling again on the physical activity after all the walking around we'll do.
Oh my, and I can not wait to be able to do some sort of hair removal once this course is done! I am a brunette with thick hair, I am naturally going to have some unwanted facial hair and plucking is just awful.
Here are my end of week 9 pictures. No real changes in the past few weeks. But I guess that's better than getting worse. Haven't had an actual new pimple in well over a month!
