For the record, I think I've been on almost every acne treatment available. Tetracycline, minocycline, sulfatrim (which caused an allergic reaction making all my joints swell and stiffen - especially my left bird finger, which would not bend at all - Strange), Retin-A (gel and cream), erythromycin gel, clyndamicin lotion, Accutane, ProActiv (which I think is a good product, but no match for my hormones once the effects of Accutane wore off), and probably a few others I've forgotten. The doc put me back on minocycline because it had worked for me as a teenager. Well, I wasn't on birth control at 14. The Retin-A gel was very harsh; the cream not so much. The tetracycline, which I took probably around ages 12-14, caused my bottom wisdom teeth to be discolored when the finally broke through the gums several years ago. That shit is potent.

It's time to go eat dinner so I have time to punkify myself for the Halloween party. I'm taking my freshly charged digital camera and an extra memory card so I can share all the disturbing photos with the handful of people who are bored enough to read this drivel. I'm out... (see? I'm punking out already!)
