The Things We Do ...

This evening I was told I shouldn't keep using the patches. After a week and half the mark from where the first patch was applied is still visible. The papaya ointment I bought (and have used every day) has had very little effect, so now I'm switching to the steroid ointment :(

But I'm not going to stop using the patches. I have about 5 left and they cost so friggin much - I can't waste that money.

Once all the patches are gone I'm going to give the lozenges a try. I'm not confident they will work as well as the patches have, but I also know I'm running out of fresh skin to put patches on :( - I certainly don't have enough for another 4 weeks worth.

I kinda wish it was winter so that I could put them on my arms as well, but then again maybe it's a good thing it's not, cos I have no idea how long it's going to take for these marks to go away. The Pharmacist was talking about possible scarring, oh well, I was never much of a beach or pool babe anyway - just as well I'm not into naked/semi-naked spas like we used to be though.

Damn, I had something else I wanted to write about too but it's gone now - bloody CRAFT (Can't Remember A Flamin' Thing) disease.
