Tuesday with Cheryl :P

For the past months, i've been having serious acne outbreaks. It may have been agitated by the facial and the products. Hence, I've decided to stop going for facials. It's pretty strange seriously how I decided it's time to go to a skin dermatologist instead.

One fine day, I went to see my family doctor due to a severe throat infection. Actually there are three doctors in that particular clinic. It was so coincidental that I saw this doctor whom I usually don't get to see. He was so affected by my face that he told me that he's going to prescribe Differin for me. Of course, I have been faithfully using it hoping that acne will go away. Apparently, outbreaks were more often. Researched on the net and realised that for the start it will be like that.

As I attended the workplan and staff development seminar, my colleagues started asking me if i've visited the dermatologist. They recommended three different ones. One is my previous dermatologist, one is unheard of and the other is a reknown one.

Felt like it's God prompting that I should do something about my face. That's because i've been whining to Him. Telling Him how inconfident i'm feeling and having a low self-esteem. I didn't want the devil to have a foothold on me anymore so I've decided to give it a try.

Guess what I tried to make appointments but two were outstationed, so I ended up going to Joyce Lim (the reknown one). Finally I went and it was so EXPENSIVE!! Cost me 277 bucks. Felt a real pinch. If I had waited, it probably won't be that ex but I just couldn't. I felt so affected by the acne. Dread them so much!!!

She said that it will take 6 mths before all is healed and i'm going to be on antibiotics for at least 6 mths. This antibiotic makes me hungry easily so can only hope that I don't end up putting more weight. In addition, my skin is going to be red and peeling for the time being. What an ugly sight!!

Really need prayers for less redness and speedy recovery. Also hope that the next visit will be cheaper.

Nevertheless, I really want to thank God for my CG members who have encouraged me after the prayer meeting on tuesday. Overall, the meeting was really good. I felt so recharged and that I could pray even longer than what I did. Seriously thank God for such an opportunity to be present for the prayer meeting as I've been missing them since I started work. Felt so deprived for so long!!
