I woke up today with really watery, sore, red eyes. Lol, yay! I had blackberries last night which made me really hot and red (note to self: avoid blackberries!), so I think this is just some residual inflammation. Anyway, I’m officially off Doxycycline and have started Minocycline. I’ve also heard that a prescription eyedrop, Restasis, would probably help my eyes if they continue to bug me, so I’ll keep that in mind.

I’m excited because I’ve discovered that Photodynamic Therapy (which is basically an acidic spread called Levulan paired with some type of pulse light treatment) has been used successfully for acne, redness, and constant facial “heat” like I’ve been getting. Usually the Levulan spread is left on 30-60 minutes, after which time a light (for just acne, it’s usually just a blue light, but for Rosacea, an Intense Pulse Light is used) is activated for around 15 minutes. After a few treatments, it’s supposed to help diminish these symptoms, so that’s always an option if antibiotics don’t work for me. I hope they do, though!

I’ve been feeling really weak and shaky lately. My vision gets spotty and I can’t stand up for too long at a time. I been drinking quite a lot of water, so it’s probably my diet. I *have* been eating healthier than usual, though, so I’m proud of myself there! I had a yuuuummy cinnabun last night, but since then, only veggies, a bit of pasta, and one of those “wheat and grains” type cereals (I usually don’t know half the things they put in them, but it tastes yummy!). I’m going to try to eat healthy, but chocolate is so tempting!!

The sunscreen I ordered came in yesterday. It’s tinted, so it should hopefully cover some of the redness & spots so that I can wear less concealer over them. However, the color is sooo tan! I haven’t tried it on my face yet, but when I blended it on my arm, it looked okay, just a little golden glow, which would probably look good on normal skin. However, pink/red + tan = ??? Lol!

Okay, I just had a bit of chocolate. I couldn’t help it. Mwuahaha!
