Just had my second blood test to check that everything is okay ! I will get the results soon and pick up my next prescription on Friday, ( assuming everything is okay) I kinda wanna up the dosage soon cos I'm dealing with it okay, I've had a few bad days where i've felt AWFUL but they've been managable. side effects are pretty managable...

wow guys sorry its been a while...I have been hectic with deadlines and exams!! then for some reason it wouldnt let me log on i stupidly managed to make two accounts for one email address (making one a whiiile ago and then forgetting I had it and making another) so this is a problem I am trying to sort out. ANYWAY.
day 24 and side effects I am...

i want to die. i have a bangin headache. my wisdom teeth are comin through though so maybe thats a contributer? i doubt it though. its makign me want to press my fingers in my eyes....my legs are stiff and achy. my necks stiff . i have stomach pains. dry lips aint got shit on these side effects.

Okay so i just read a really discouraging blog about someone who has struggled with bad skin all their life and has tried everything , even accutane, but to no avail. two replies were off people who said that , basically, nothing could be done, that there is no 'cure' for acne. This SUCKS. is it true, really? ive heard that people who have been on a second...

okay...dry lips......thats about it!!!!! one side of my face is bad still but the other has IMPROVED so much!!!!

this is the worst of the initial breakout fading. I have no more spots coming

this is my other side! weird huh?
i have also gone back to...

I'm being really impatient with accutane. i keep saying to myself come on its only been eight days but it seems to be dragging so much!! literally the only "side effects" if you could even call them that is my slighttlyy drier hair and slightly drier lips., as well as abit of an initial breakout. i feel like last time the side effects hit...

One week in now guys and still...not much to report!! nooo!! im bein really impatient i guess i feel fine, the initial breakout is not unmanagable, my hair is getting a little dry now and my lips also (i notice it at night) but other than that not much more to report!! Only one week has gone by though so i am obviously not...

Hello! still only on day 5 so nothing more to report really. My skin has become a little worse, abit dry, red and flaky in places and it has aggravated my acne somewhat but this is common.

its more my cheeks that feel red and tight. No improvment yet but its very early days still so I'm not expecting much.
I thought I'd...

Okay.... its a late entry but I just noticed my skins getting a little worse this is common for the start of the treatment though...its not smoething I experienced last time around but I was put on a lower dosage at first then (I think it was only 30mg a day and now i started on 40mg) so maybe thats why. My skin also feels a little tight and abit...

Okay, so, im only on day three so nothing in terms of side effects of improvment yet but i thought i'd start posting pics so you can log my progress in a visual way (much more satisfying) !
this is me pretty much back to square one - i also have no make up on (well i have mascara on, but no foundation/concealer).
