POD person after four weeks on doxy

[flexagon]

I am a barren wasteland, you guys. I've been on doxycycline (antibiotic) for four weeks now, and now I'm on antivirals for something else, and everything is just wacky. This has been quite the year for medical irritations.

I thought you might like some good news though: my face is clear of the peri-orificial dermatitis stuff. It kept steadily reducing after my one-week update. Oh, and the related hemorrhoid calmed right down after some Preparation H and two days standing at my standing desk. So it's just been a continuation of less and less frequently peeling skin, and fewer vesicles showing up, until basically it's gone. Now I just have to finish out the course -- four more weeks on the current dosage, then four more weeks on half dose -- and hope to avoid recurrence.

I should be looking up non-dairy probiotics, but I've been too overwhelmed to get that organized.

It sounds like your feel kind of sucked dry. I'm sorry. It is good to hear that your skin and hemorrhoid issues are clearing up.
