Day 13 - Les Miserables

Translation - 'wretched'.

I could use a little rain right now.

Putting on the cream is like..."...not this again..." tomorrow is two weeks. Resorting to Woolworths Online to do the grocery shopping (delivery) - first time with that - we'll see how that goes Fresh Food People!

Symptoms check: Itching is increasing, some pain, crusting beginning in places, no additional blisters yet - first bad night sleep-wise. Trying to stay positive.

I tried to block the light in this shot to take away the 'sheen'.

Learning, musing:

Éponine:

A little fall of rain,

Can hardly hurt me now.

You're here. That's all I need to know.

And you will keep me safe.

And you will keep me close.

And rain will make the flowers (not bindis) grow

Day 39 - Pink!

This blog is to help others contemplating this treatment. Day 39 Final Post - Pink! This is my final post and the past week has just been about recovery. My face is still very pink and I suppose that will slowly fade, but it's still disconcerting. There is no itching or pain anymore. Shaving is back to normal too (thank God). I'm still applying Paw-Paw ointment as noted in the previous Blog post, hence the 'shine' in today's photos. I'll be using it for some months yet. In summary: This was a tough gig for long periods; Staying indoors and out of the sun was difficult, that surprised me more than I thought it would. I may not be suited to living in Canada in the winter 😊; I still have to get a blood test to check my Vitamin D levels as a result (yes, seriously); I'm glad I'm through it, that I made it, and I'm glad I had the sense to read other Blogs before starting, to get the lay of the land; The reason I'm glad, ...

Days 30-32 - A Tropical Fruit

This blog is to help others contemplating this treatment. Days 30-32 - A Tropical Fruit Well a couple of marvelous things have happened since the last post on Sunday. On Tuesday I think I became itch free for the first time in about 20 days. You don't know what a relief that has been. In fact I say 'think' because when I returned to a more normal 'state' I didn't really notice - then it dawns on you...hey, I'm not itching anymore, yay! I've also switched up the lotion attack. After some research on Paw Paw content I'm using the product below. It has the highest Paw Paw extract by volume of any that I can find on the Australian market and is available in a couple of major pharmacy chains. I think this was a good move. Importantly it is petro-chemical free. I'm sure that Monty Python might have a song about exfoliation - if so - message me below and I'll link it. Generally, very scaly, couple of open sores but I'm m...

Day 25 - Bonus Creepy Graphic Post - Go no further if eating!

This blog is to help others contemplating this treatment. Day 25 - Close Ups. If you click "Read More" then things will get graphic. The thumbnail picture is bad enough! Proceed with caution... I've been feeling that the shots I've put up haven't been getting the detail. So that I don't sound like an endless 'whiner' here is some creepy detail of my day to day existence this week. Scroll down...click the picture if you truly want the detail... Face full of tiny itchy blisters and other decay.... Pretty clear why you wouldn't want this to dry out and get crispy. Dragging a razor across that landscape is...'technical'. Right side. Day 25 - both temples and cheeks awash with tiny, prickly blisters.

So let's see how this goes...Efudex/Efudix
