Splotchey The Zit Queen. Thanks, Prednisone!

I look like I have a case of the measles here. Breaking out on every part of my face. Like an explosion of little red nasties...

Thanks to the high-end dose of steroids I happen to be on at the moment, my hormones are going nuts. Thanks to my hormones going nuts, my skin goes bad, too. This means ZITS.

I had this the last time I took the stuff but it was half the dose then that I was taking up until yesterday.

I look like I've got smallpox or something. It's entirely not my fault, will calm down as I lower my steroid dose, but for now I look like I got in the face with a pinpoint accuracy laser set on "Pizza."

Oh, laugh all you want to. It's funny. I'm laughing. This will be a great talking point next week when I turn up at my sister's graduation looking WORSE than the high school students who are graduating...

And for those who are asking, I did nothing very important today, except clean (that took, like, 5 minutes in a room this size.) And bemoan my face full of little red volcanoes.

Ta,
Bec
