Hi always...
I'm on day 5 of efudex 5%, twice daily. 9 applications so far and today my face feels "feverish". Not looking forward to next week although it's a good feeling that I'm almost at the halfway point..
I've had a bit of nausea due to the horrible taste in my mouth and insomnia on the days I didn't work out.
Are you doing full face also?
I just keep telling myself that when this is all done my skin will look fabulous!!
I am doing full face too. The doctor did not tell me about putting any lotions or vaseline on it when it gets bad. I see people writing about that - and that is a bit scarey. I don't know what the celebrex is all about either. I am supposed to do this treatment for 4 weeks. How long were you given?
I have to laugh at your last question. "how long were you given"...sounds like a sentencing. LOL!!
I have to do 14 days, twice daily. Total of 28 applications. I had a BCC's that was misdiagnosed and left untreated for two years. Had it removed June 30...had to wait for it to heal. Now my dermatologist wants me to do this to bring out the AK's.
From everything I read it appears to me that this is something we face for the rest of our lives. Hope someone can prove me wrong. Guess it could be worse though.
