My skin is terribly dry. Perhaps that's because of asthma but it seems to have happened since I've been taking this drug.

Tylenol works after about 45 minutes. I mostly just wish it was instantaneous, but that would be a miracle, I suppose.

I also got the Gardasil vaccine and yes it ruined my life too! Two years ago I received it and started developing severe acne on my face. I had two of the three shots.
