So one month in, things are looking up. I can tell where things have improved. Very much improved. 

I’m going to maintain this dose for another two weeks, then, doctor permitting, bump it up from 15 mg to 20 mg. 

Side effects so far that I’ve been noticing/feeling - headache here and there, a persistent nonproductive cough, and am I losing hair? Great. Someone said to me, “bigger picture.” Sure. I can handle this.

What’s been interesting is getting back into my own skin - that is, trying to break old, hard kept habits like wearing sweaters in any weather to cover up - getting used to the feel of smooth skin. These things might sound weird to you, but that’s been my life for many, many years. Social situations were (and still are) very difficult.

Now what would help a lot is a tan to even out these splotches. Tell you more about that another time.
