[split] Acitretin

[jiml]

Day 6 - Nausea seems to be tailing off a bit (good), Optrix giving instant relief but does not last for very long 1/2 hour - very bright day here today I found that quite painful, put my shades on while driving ( wished I had thought about that the other day) helped relieve the pain (discomfort) - skin continuing to improve more through UVB treatment than the Aciteritin yet continues to be more dry and flaky than normal ( no splitting and bleeding ) Blood tests next week Hope the nurse has sharpened the needle ( thought she was trying to stick me with a 6'' nail the last time ).

Hi again .... At least the nausea is getting less. And skin improving .... Whether it's the acetretin or the UVB doesn't matter just get it down Then the acetretin should keep it under control... Whereas the UVB is just a quick fix. The acetretin should work long term
Glad the Optrex gave a bit of relief.... any thing is better than constant suffering
If you Google Optrex eye pads it will show a range of different cooling eye pads ( couldn't find the Optrex ones I used to use but several different ones popped up

Shame about the sensitivity to light do you think it's related in some way, cant say I've heard of it myself ( but I'm no dermatologist)
Glad your skin isnt splitting and bleeding anymore that's very positive

Good luck with the blood test next week lets hope the nurse find a nice shiny nail for this test
