It's alive!

Sooo,

Went to the derm today. The Lidex gel I was using was starting to give me some zits (3) in my spot..gross. She suggested I take it a step down and use something a little less strong. Gave me some samples, which was cool. Also got more shots...which, I would like to say, hurt like HELL. I remember the shots hurting from the 1st spot, but these really really hurt...we had to take a break!

Anyway, the good news is that the whole spot is covered in hair! My husband told me that too, but I can't see it (it's in the way back). She seems to think that I will only need 2 more treatments and then be on my way. Which is good, because my new insurance doesnt cover the steroid injections...(they say it's cosmetic) and it's $95 everytime I go...bummer.

Just wanted to update everyone!

I HATE when people say "it's just cosmetic". But anyways... CONGRADULATIONS!! I'm really happy for you. Do you live in the U.S.? I just got married and moved here from Canada so insurance of course is ridiculous and won't cover injections. So I haven't had injections since the summer and my AA isn't doing well because of that. So really, I'm wondering if thats $95 U.S. dollars? And how much does the cortisone cost you?

Yup, $95 US dollars. The cortisone cream is $4- because it's the generic and insurance covers that (go figure!)
