Hey everyone, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I’ve been crazy busy preparing for school to start and for all my extracurriculars to start. I’m going to take a set of pictures on Friday, and I’ll skip last week’s (there wasn’t that much of a change anyways).
So, today was my dermatologist appointment. They said the blood tests were good, but my bilirubin levels were elevated. That means that I could have Gilbert’s Syndrome, which, if you’ve been following my blog, my dad has. It’s completely benign, and it can be hereditary. So, the doctor thinks it’s probably just that, but she wants me to call my primary care physician to make sure. She said that I’m responding very well to the medication, and she wants to increase my dosage. I guess that the higher the dosage taken, the more lasting the clear skin will be. So, since I’ve only been having minor dryness and pain and all that stuff, I said sure, why not. I’m on 60 mg now, taken in 3 20mg capsules. I went to CVS to fill the prescription, and somehow it’s going to take an hour to collect three boxes, go on iPledge, and put the three boxes in a bag. I’m going to go back later on tonight as I’ll be in the area anyway. But, I’m happy that the dermatologist thinks my skin is doing well, and I’m glad I’m reacting well to Accutane! (By the way, they scheduled the appointment correctly this time, so I have the next appointment 30 days after this one!)
