Hi - well i went 17 days and could not take it anymore - i did the carac on my chest - the dr. Told me to go two weeks but reading all the posts here i thought i would do the 21 days to make sure i got it all.
The two weeks were painful - my whole chest was like raw meat - i could sleep at night though - two weeks one day i cryed after my shower - the pain was so bad i couldnt dry my hair - i started to feel really tired and depressed - couldnt do my usual work out - took two more days of this and said the hell with it - yesterday (my first day off) i started to see the light again - i wasnt feeling totally better but i was glad i knew the pain would stop - my sister came by to see how i was and said after looking at my chest - "if you plan on doing this to your face over thanksgiving, please do not come to my house because it will make me sick" i hate to inform you all of this but this is what happens.
Today is day two of being off carac and i feel awesome! My chest doesnt hurt as much and i feel happy - its still really ugly looking but hey the pain is gone!!!!!
I dont think i will do my face - if i do start it, it will only be the small red mark i have near my chin - i work in retail and covering it up is a no go.
