I went to NYC the weekend of October 3rd. Great weekend. Between the last time I posted and now, I have had extremely chapped lips as as well as a bloody nose. My nose constantly feels like there is a scab in there about to dislocate.
So as of my last blood work, my white blood cell count was low. Well, apparently, I've had a sinus infection basically since I got back from Vegas. I've mentioned I've beem sniffly and sneezy. Apparently, my allergies, led to a minor sinus infection which led me to a minor middle ear infection. (minor my ass). I get sinus infections occasionally, but wonder if the low count effected it more of setting in.
I woke up Sunday morning with my ear hurting. Thought maybe I'd slept on it weird. But all day it was bothering me. Woke up Monday with it bothering me still outside as well as in. I decided to go to a walk in and she said it looked like my sinuses were inflamed which caused fluid build up in my ear to cause the pain, My ear was the worst part! I haven't had an ear infection in over 20 years!
So she prescribed me a nasal spray to use once daily, an antibiotic to clear up the minor infection and ear drops for the pain. I made sure nothing interacted poorly with the accutane with practitioner as well as the pharmacist.
Anyway. my lips have been super chapped, as well as inside my nose. I've had a bloody nose almost every day for the past 2 weeks. I've been putting moisturizer up there, and it burns at first, but definitely helps. The lethargy is still at an all time high. I just have no energy whatsoever. The joint aches have remained, but not gotten any worse, so that's OK I guess.
I've got these little extra dry tiny spots on my face. Wouldn't even be able to get them in a picture they're so small. There are two on my forehead, one on the tip of my nose, one on my ear lobe, and one on my left cheek. They're smaller than a pencil eraser. They end up coming off, and I moisturize, but they come right back the next day in the same spot.
I'm now half way though my cycle! I haven't seen many changes in the past month or so, but nothing else new has come up, so now I guess I just wait for this monster on my chin to go away and the redness to subside eventually. I wonder if after my course, if any sort of peels will get rid of the red blotchy scars. Anyone else know?
Her are my update pictures! Week 12, signing out!
