Out damned spot(s)
By hissychick | December 18, 2008
My face and shoulders are blooming, albeit not in a very attractive way. My old nemesis, acne vulgaris, has suddenly descended in a pustacular fashion, and I am none too pleased about it.
I am thirty two, for dog’s sake, far too old for this teenage shit.
An anti-androgenic pill is obviously out for now, seeing as miss E still loves her boobie at the ripe old age of eighteen months old (today!).
However I really do need to get my pimply self to my GP, as along with the zits I have been putting up with a few other vague but annoyingly persistent symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings (who me? never), and weakness and numbness in my hands and feet especially in the morning. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget severe ovulation pain and bloating. Thanks to Dr Google, I am wondering if I am starting to develop PCOS.
Unless it’s my thyroid or iron levels. Again.
Either way I best put down the chocolate/ice cream/ fun festive treats and start cranking up a high protein/low GI diet and see if that makes a difference. Apparently it does for teenage pizza face boys, so why not me?
Meh. Time to get back to wrapping Christmas presents for A’s two closest friends. We are all meeting up for a celebratory post Christmas concert/end of daycare for the year milkshake tomorrow afternoon.
Even if it’s not low GI, it will be high on the parental gooeyness at seeing your child share some seasonal delight with her mates scale.

Brave of you to reveal you age. But then, we are still young!
Young enough seemingly to be filled with zits and such.
Hope it all clears soon! Else you may come up with a diff Christmas song other than “All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!”
