Thanks for the replys everyone
yo HAVEHeart my family actually lives in Hood River, thats where I am right now, it's like 40 minutes from Mt. Hood. Are you going to ski/snowboard up at T-line or are you going to one of the windells camps. Have fun man
Day 52 the saga continues- Damn, my face was actually starting to look up and then over the past few days I got hit with another break out. This drug is a rollercoaster ride . I didn't have my pills to take for like 4 days so I don't know if that could have broken me out but I honestly just think it is part of the course. Well I've got to get back to work, I'm building a fence and gate for my front yard then I'll probably dip down to the skatepark.

side effects- haven't had any more bloody noses, the usual stuff, dry lips, dry skin. No rashes though, keep fingers crossed and nothing else thats too bad.
Thanks for reading peace

Oh and I'm not actually about to cry in the picture of the right side of my face haha but it does get me down a little

Hooty HOo Day 63
well well well, let me recall the past eleven days. My face was on the right track for a good week, no biggies and hardly any new pimples. I had my derm check up last thursday and she said my labs looked fine and that she was seeing definite improvement . Then seriously the next day after my appointment I started to break out again haha and things are more of the same... good days to bad days, the ups and downs. I'll just have to give it more time, hopefully this 3rd month will be a changing point in my skin.

side effects- dry lips, and some flaky skin. I noticed slight back pain the other day when i was doing heavy lifting but that only lasted while i was working. I might be losing more hair than normal but I can't really say because i never payed attention to it anyway.
I'm ready to kick some acne ass
tiger style

I'll put up some pics tonight or tomorrow

I just picked up my prescription and noticed that they gave me claravis vs. the amnesteem that i have been taking. Not really sure if there is any difference other than the pills appearance and I'm not too worried about it. If anyone has had the same thing happen let me know if they noticed anything different.

Day 79 It's been a few days since my last post, mainly because I just haven't felt like posting more news of breakouts and multiplying redmarks... thats about all that has happened in the last few days. I would say that the breakouts are now less severe but the redmarks are multiplying and my skin still looks worse than when I started. I have faith that this stuff will work in the end but it's just taking a lot longer and things are a lot more stubborn than i had expected. Side effects are still minimal, lips are dry but other than that accutane hasn't stopped me from doing anything i wouldn't already do. I am a little concerned with my hair though, I think my hair has been thinning recently because it feels thinner and looks thinner. This isn't really encouraging considering my hair is thin to begin with.


here are some more updated pics, with better quality

Day 101
it's been a few since I last posted on here but I'll give you guys a recap of the last 22 days or something. I had my end of the third month derm appointment and she decided to put me on prednisone for two weeks and bactrim for a month because things had still not started to get better. Once I started the prednisone my face calmed down so quickly, it makes me worry that once I'm off the prednisone, in 5 days, things are just going to go back to the way they were I hope not.

side effects- whenever i fall skateboarding it seems that I get worse bruises and stuff, like the other day i slammed my palm into the ground and it must have ruptured a blood vessel in my hand because there was this bulging blue spot that looked as though i had a slug under my skin never had that happen and I've definitely slammed my palm into the ground before. other than dry lips I would say everything is smooth sailing, well minus the long lasting IB but hopefully thats behind me.



ohh yeah I made it to 100 days

Thanks for visiting my log.

That's weird that we're not both just from Oregon and on Accutane, but I actually live in Eugene as well.
Good luck to you too!
