Quick Week 3 Update

Not really much to report on. Side effects are really about the same, except I noticed my rash likes to especially itch after a shower. I think it dries my skin out. As a result, I've got some Benadryl to help. It also makes me drowsy, which helps me sleep when it's needed. Also my face and back seem to be drying out and flaking skin. During the first week these areas were really oily, so for them to go a complete 180 is weird. Not sure if I'd rather have dry flaky skin or nasty greasy skin. At least with the dry skin, I'm not worrying about my skin breaking out like it did previously.

I think the most bothersome thing at this point has to be the sore feet issue. They feel like I've been standing on them all day, when I spend most of my time sitting or laying down. I am trying to get into a habit of taking walks with my wife and would eventually like to start a decent workout regimen in the mornings, but feel hindered by the drug holding me back. Again, the exertion would be the problem there. Still, I was able to go for a walk tonight without much of a problem. A little heavy breathing and foot aches, but I'm a big boy and can handle it.
