Predictable Drugs - Unpredictable

Hard to believe that this is the 44th entry in this diary. Also, hard to believe that we've been "doing drugs" past 18 months now. You would think that everything would be predictable by now. The treatment procedure is. The drug side efforts continue to fool me now and then. My two problems have always been hair and skin condition. I thought the hair problem was solved after losing arm and leg hair it was growing back nicely. Now all of a sudden I've lost leg hair and most of the arm hair that grew back. Clinic says it's just a normal recycling of the hair. Sounds dumb to me. My skin condition used to flair up after treatment and pretty much clear up by the next treatment. Lately it hasn't done that and in fact has spread from mostly forehead to the rest of my face and neck, chest and back. It also is producing "bumps" that are sore and some that when bumped, brushed, or yes picked, they bleed. I tell myself that reactions could be worse so don't complain too much. I was happy that I achieved a good "normal" weight. That too has become a little unpredictable lately. Three weeks ago I gained 3 pounds and this week I lost 6 pounds. I don't worry about a little gain, but the loss bothers me. I know it's a short term thing and we'll have to see how it goes. So, that's the latest. Bring on the warm weather!!! Good health to all of you.
