Can't believe it's over, but I'm finished with Accutane! I took my last pill last Tuesday (March 19th).  So I did a total of 6 months on Claravis. 40 mg for months 1 & 2, 60 mg months 3, 4, and 5. and 80 mg on month 6. I knew at my last derm appt that my course was over, but I kind of hoped there might be a 7th month. (only because I was ter...

I lost count of the days. I could check my last bog and count but I don't want to. I just started my 6th month on Monday. Those of you who have been following me know that I was supposed to be finished at month 5. Although, my derm did say "hopefully 5 months will do it". Well like I said in my last post, I do still get a small breakout before/after my pe...

Hey everybody,

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Was super busy over the holidays and haven't spent much time on here. I do check in almost daily but I haven't seen any notifications so I figured nobody missed me lol.

Anywho. I got my blood work done today. My derm appt is on Monday and I will be starting my 5th month on Claravis. Can't...

It's been a while since I posted. Not much has been happening to blog about.

Things are still going good! I am still getting pimples. Can't wait for that to stop. I just started my 4th month staying on 60mg/day.

I've noticed when I wake up or when I am sitting with my feet up for a while, my achilles tendons are soo stiff and hurt like...

hey guys

I haven't updated in 2 weeks because there wasn't a whole lot to report.

I'm halfway through my third month now. Remember how my right side was always bad and my left was always good? pshh. well flip them around now. =( Just when I thought I was finally seeing the light, my left side breaks out. 6 on my left cheek over the course of...

Hey!

So Monday I went to the derm for the start of my 3rd month! Time is really flying

He upped my dose to 60mg where I will stay. Oh, and guess how much that cost?...

hey everyone

not a whole lot to update this week, so this will be short.

i do have a new side effect i got probably friday? i have a rash all over both arms and the tops of my hands. i've never had eczema before, but i'm assuming this is what this is? it doesn't hurt or itch, it's just red and gross looking and you can feel it when you...

halfway through month 2! time is really flying. my next derm appt is nov 12th. i have a feeling my dose will be increased to 60mg. should i be worried? does your skin freak out when the dose goes up? i hope not =(

once again i got lots of compliments from my family this weekend. it made me feel really good. but like always it jinxes me and i break...

so month 2 has been eventful!
meaning, i broke out a few times. last weekend for whatever reason, i went on a picking spree. hadn't done that in so long that i felt so ashamed. luckily i had the weekend to let it calm down. everything dried up and peeled off. we had dinner at a friend's on sunday and i remember sitting at the table under the...

hey everybody

so last thurs i had my derm appt for the start of my second month. my derm was out that day so i saw his assistant. which sucked because i wanted to see him after completing my first month, and because i was still charged $116 for the doctor's visit, even though i didn't even see him! bullshit! but his assistant was...
