Okay, y'all, here's another one:

Can Dex make you break out? I'm all red and weirdly zit-esque, and there's no...uh...female hormone stuff going on.

I wouldn't define it as a rash, though--it's only on my face, and I have had a lot of allergic rashes, and I know how serious it is if it was a rash, so I'd go to the Urgent Care center (1 step below ER in this town) or something instead of asking you guys if I thought it was that (no offense.)

So do you think it's the Dex, or no? Thanks for putting up with me...:o

I am 20 years old and started talking dex last week and my complexion is actually better now then it was before. No break outs or anything. I think it is because I am drinking so much water to stay hydrated...way more then I usually would drink.

I think dex can definetly make you break out if you don't drink enough water while your on it.

I think dex can definetly make you break out if you don't drink enough water while your on it.Ah...good point. Very plausible! I have had dry mouth, but I haven't been drinking water--Dr. Pepper. Dehydration=skin unhappiness. Thanks! Ugh! Here I am, studying immunosuppresion in relation to delayed presence of Acetylcholine as a side effect of a drug used to treat a really horrid disease called Myasthenia Gravis--the drug keeps the body from breaking down ACh as it normally would, and ACh stimulates the PNS (quit laughing, I'm talking about the Parasympathetic Nervous System) which would result in constant unrelenting function of the PNS--and I didn't even think of dehydration? :confused:

(Basically, I'm writing a paper on why, exactly, your immune system wouldn't be at its best if you took a medicine that that made you have constant diarrhea and vomiting, couldn't exhale, had a consistently slow heartbeat, were drooling, blood vessels in your skin were constantly dilated (which would affect your body temperature--you'd be cold all the time) and you'd have a constant erection, which would result in the skin on a penis literally decaying and dying. Hmmm...now, why would that cause a health problem?)

(Sorry for throwing an extremely boring temper tantrum on my lack of logic...basically, the self-criticism is my undignified way of saying "Danke Schon.") :)

Hey Chrys I find your font just tad a hard to skim over/read quickly, unlike the normal font in this forum. I realize it's a stylistic and personal thing for you, and to each their own, but I actually want to read your posts. With your font as is, my inclination is to avoid them because I have to slow down my hyper mind. :) Hey, maybe reading your posts is good practice for gumption. ;)

K, how bout this? You may not have been able to concentrate on it because it's just boring as all hell, but I'll go ahead and give it to you again (in case I'm interpreting correctly and you couldn't read it.)
