The Adventure Continues

By now it is late June and I continue on this crazy skin covered road that I am travelling. I have been able to work from home and have even managed to somehow get a promotion. The introduction of acitretin has helped my face immensely my face is almost normal, I have some mottling on my forehead but the rest of my body is bright orangish-red color. My legs and feet have developed a severe case of edema and I am barely able to stand and walk for about 2 weeks. I am concerned and I call Dr. Hsu and I am told that it has to get worse before it gets better. WOW, I don't like that answer. During this time my skin never looks the same two days in a row, the itch never abates, and I feel that I have been burned by acid all over my body. This condition is bizarre for sure. My hands have thickened and begun to peel.

The following week my hands look like this. All nice and peeled. Things actually feel normal to touch, not all soft and fuzzy.
