lilbee's oratane journey

So for the past 12 or so days I have really been hiding from everyone as my skin is definitely the worst it has ever been in the 30 years on the planet! It was so bad that I couldn't sleep on my left side of my face as it was so lumpy and sore. Its bad as I have to go to work and try to look pretty (half of a stewardess job) and I'm so...

So after 17 years of struggling with acne and trying everything ever made I have finally taken the plunge and been prescribed 60mg a day of Oratane.
