Well my comrades its been a good bit over a month post tane for this cat and I've got photographic evidence. I just would like to let inquiring minds know that i officially fufilled the requirements for my transfer program, and will be attended my hometown school, the one i was raised rooting for, in the fall semester. Yes i'm officially a Texas longhorn Also i just had an eye exam and apparently i had a corneal ulcer that was what made my eyes so irritated as seen in the last batch of pictures. I'll be updating the slideshow manana with these, before pictures, and timeline markers. Good night, or good morning rather lol
Dialated Eyes from Eye Exam (I swear i'm not high although anybody who was at my grocers probably thought i was lol)
Gobble Gobble (showing the extra floppy skin that my major cysts left)
Smile A (No Teeth) or Smile B (With Teeth)? You choose...
You look so amazing!
I've also been wondering something. I remember you mentioned your mother was very reluctant of you taking Accutane, and even asked you to discontinue it when you had that pretty intense initial breakout. How does she feel about Accutane now, having seen your great results?
Thanks, and brandy my mom is just happy im better. She was just trying to look out for my health and since she never had acne very bad the benifits didnt really merit the risk in her mind.
Hey other Post-Taners i have a question. I went to the derm yesterday and he gave me a handful of Retinoid samples (Some Differin, and Renova). He told me to try them out on either side of my face to see if on works right for me. What are yalls verdict on following up Accutane with a retinoid?
HI..
One more thing you want to consider is something not really heard of in treating acne.
See if not drinking milk, or ANY diet or reg. type of dark colored cola's, ie, pepsi, coke rc or dr p. helps. Oh, and no cheese either, like on pizza. My boys started breaking out really bad around age 14-15 I asked them to drink Sprite or 7-up, and reduce the milk and their skin really clearned up within a month or so. Many people are sensitive to the food colors and additives to these items. This is basically a free thing to do, and not hard to change.
Good luck.
Raina my dosage was 20, 20, 30, 40, 60, 60, 60
Thanks katie
