Here We Go...

Well here I am.  I finally gave in to my doctors urging to take Accutane.  I guess I kept avoiding it because I was worried about potential side effects, but after having the worst few months of acne I've ever had in my life... I realized the time had come to just do it already.  Oddly enough after having to wait almost 2 months to actually start (between the pregnancy test and blood work and whatnot) my skin right now is actually not at it's worst (but it's still not "normal" by any means...)  Today is day 2.  I am on 30mg.  5'2" female, somewhere around 128ish lbs (I am on Weight Watchers right now as well so hopefully that number will be going down)

Anyhoos, as of today I feel the same as always.  I started using CeraVe cream on my face as I heard it was a great moisturizer and I am trying to avoid getting too dry.  I am also already using Aquaphor and Ayr Nasal Gel on my lips and nose daily and nightly to, again, hopefully avoid the super dryness that comes with Accuatne.

I figured keeping track of how I feel and how my face looks would help me get through this and make me want to stick it out if or when I feel I want to give up.  I am hoping I will somehow have a super easy time and my face will gorgeous by the time I am done, but thats probably just the eternal optimist in me    I guess only time will tell.

Heres are pics I took yesterday before I took my first pill...



Can't wait to start seeing results!  Wish me luck and I shall update this sucker soon.
