Hey corrine!
Glad to hear things are getting better.
It is getting pretty lonely around here hey? Everyone who strated with us is disapearing. Including me, but I feel guilty all the time and think about everyone often.
Well I'll keep watching your progress, hope your last month or so goes great.
Andy

corrine,

I've been wondering what you're up to. You'll have to keep us up to date more regularly! I'm glad to hear things are going well and I hope it continues for you.

P&W

Hi guys..

I know I should update my log more regularly.. strongsad.gif
I wish I could have 24 hours just for myself... smile.gif.

Today is day.. hmm I lost count of my days..
4 Sept should be my last day on Accutane.

Here is my story..
On 5 August I went to my derm.. then she checked out my skin.. and quite happy with it..
It's still red with few small ones.. but definitely better compare to ugly cysts that I get during breakout period. I told her my pores is so big and I have some scars..
She said,.. it's okay.. it will take time for the skin tone to become smoother.. just be patient.
So.. she calculated all the pills that I have taken .. and told me that I only need to take 40 mg dosage for another.. 31 days.. Coolll!!

Now I don't feel stress because of my skin anymore..
I do hope that my pimples will never come back after I stopped it..

Skin update:
Skin still red.. (some of my friends that have never seen me for a long time been asking me the question : Do you have sunburnt.. oh no ^^..)
Some small pimples, big pores, thank God for no cysts.

By the way.. I celebrated my birthday on August 12th smile.gif. It's good.. My flatmate and I went to Macau Express near the airport. The food is good with reasonable price. (Just that the portion is too big for me).
I left 1/4 of my rice on the bowl.(Such a waste).

Time to reply to all of you..

Cj
You are such a faithful friends lol...
Glad that you are doing fine.. I look forward to your update after your exam..
Take care okay..
I wish you the best... And give you an encouragement for your exam(HUGSSSS)..
It's funny that we are starting at almost the same time.. and been through this journey together.. smile.gif.
I am so glad to find a friend like you..

Trenem
Hey.. how are you.. I am glad too..!! In the beginning I really don't know whether Accutane is going to work. But I am glad it is..
THanks and have a nice day for you as well..

Firegurl
Hi congrats for finishing your course. Hopefully you will feel better and better each day..
I still remember the day that I complained and complained about all the cysts.. (Yeah.. smile.gif) Thanks for your encouragement on those days.. now left with red marks.. heheh yeah.. I will not complain anymore..
Hey I will definitely post picture some day.

Imogen
Thank you.. good luck with your Nimegen journey..
Hope your journey is not the rough one.. but you can be sure that you'll be clear in the end..
We are all in this together..

Andy
hI Andy.. I am here.. Yeah I know everyone started to dissapear... but we still have cj, firegurl, that still keep updating their log as well..
I have been a worse poster than you.. heheh.. well cheers for good skin.

Jasota
Yeah.. my skin is behaving.. I am so glad.. I won't let them misbehaved anymore wink.gif.
Good luck to you buddy.

P&W
Hi P&W sorry.. I have been super super busy lately.
When I have time for myself I will just sleep in the coach in front of TV.
Thanks for keep visiting my log.. smile.gif.

Bye everyone.. wish all of you a good skin day as always..
