Rusty: What did your doctor say? How long has this been going on? it could be endocrine related. if you feel you're not getting straight answers from your doc (some docs throw their hands up when it comes to side effects or anything outside the line of focus), you might want to consider acupuncture specifically to address these crinkle skin issues ... if you're wary of a someone who only does acupuncture, there are dual-trained doctors who know modern medicine as well as acupuncture. holistic-allopathic associations can help you search for them. the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture is an example. of course if you hate needles, then chuck my advice out the window   ;D
