Okay guys I have another question for ya. How do I get rid of this back pain?!
It's horrible. I didn't realize how bad it was till today when i was doing Zumba haha. And then at work I am always bending over and picking up stuff and putting things on the shelves, and everytime I stand back upright i have to stand there for like a few minutes trying to breathe almost and get my back to straighten out with any pain. I feel like an 80 year old!
Does anyone have any advice or certain supplements they can reccomend to help with this??
Oh noo not one of those side effects 
I HATE back pain, it's the worst and you can barely move once your back is in pain for a while! I just took aleve and it helped a little but I do know my mom suffers from back pain because of a car accident, and was prescribed vicodin or however you spell it, and it gets her through, she said it goes away immediately. I know vicodin seems like too much but if it does get that bad, maybe ask if you can be prescribed it just for a couple weeks until the side effects settle down form Accutane.
Wow, almost 2 weeks down. It looks like you may not have an IB, but sometimes they do not occur to much later for some people.
Sorry to hear about the back pains, that would be quite annoying. However, I am not experiencing them (at least, yet) to give you much input on what to do. But what I would do is search the forums and/or speak to your dermatologist in attempt to elicit information on what you can do about it.

Yess, it sucks! I've never really had much back pain so it's weird like always being like this now and feeling like an elderly person.
Ha its by farrr the worst side effect for me. Well i really don't have many side effects at all anyways.. ha which is good
And yeah that is kind of a big drug but honestly I will definitely think about that if this keeps up. Cuz its really bad and having it gone sounds wonderful!
Aw I'm sorry your feeling like that! I have one side effect! Dry lips woohoo! It excites me. They aren't chapped or red or burning, just slightly drier than usual 
How is your Saturday going?

Taylor: Thanks girl, but hopefully it'll start to not be as bad then things will be all good! Oh you got a side effect? Yayy! hahaha yeah thats actually how mine are too and i'm almost done with week 2. They're really not bad at all. Yet I still panic for some reason when I realize i don't have any chapstick with me. I don't know why.. Like I feel like they'll get chapped right then when I'm doing stuff with no chapstick with me. Hahahh, it's going good! Just here at work and it's superr slow. But I get off in a half hour, whoo! How is yours so far?
And pretty much it's just the same right now. My forehead is slowly starting to look a little better. Cuz its always been bumpy and gross. Like i haven't felt it be even somehwhat smooth in yearss, but it is starting to feel nicer! Then my cheeks have noo actives right now which is awesome! Just tonss of red marks fading for now. I really hope no new ones pop up there soon. But my chin is still pretty darn blahhh. Oh well, guess i just gotta be patient! Anything new with yours yet?

I'm doing great! I woke up at noon and was pretty mad at myself for waking up so late! But I've gotten a lot of homework done ahead of time just in case I start feeling exhausted and don't have the motivation to do anything, my face is da samee. I don't get inflamed acne anymore, just red bumps so I actually don't realize if I get new ones because they just are there. The texture of my skin is rough and bumpy although it doesn't look it which is good I guess, but I would just like to feel my skin and feel the smoothness. I can't wait til my skin is like that. I get the bumps around my nose and on my upper cheeks, and of course my forehead woohoo! It actually looks better when I don't wear foundation, although I want to cause of the redness, bleh. I just can't wait for all of these little bumps to flake off. My skin also is a little oily, it's never been crazy oily, but it does feel a tiny bit oily, I guess that's sort of common for a couple days, so I'm just excited for my old skin to shed, and new skin to appear! That's awesome you aren't experiencing an IB! Congrats! Where do you work?
Taylor: hahah i hate sleeping in like that too! Such a waste of a day. But sometimes it's super nice when you can, like when you have no school to catch up on!
Well that's good theres no bad inflamed ones.Because those are pain and hurt. Ha I'm still getting some on my forehead and chin right now. Yeah i have a really bumpy texture too that looks 10 times worse in the sun. Ehhh. Thats also good you can't see it too much, lucky! haha i mean not lucky at all that you have acne, just that its not that noticeable. Mines really noticeable and theres really nothing i can do about it till its gone yanno?
AH my skin is sooo oily:( Always has been. Im sure thats a big factor in my acne. This might sound weird, but i kinda cant wait till i have dry flaky skin. Haha im so sick of seeing this nasty greasy face! Itll be nice to see it shedding and leavinggg! And thanks, i really hope I never do get one, cuz todays already 2 weeks in and nothin! I work at a clothing store in my town called Red Zebra. I love shopping and clothes and working there haha

Yes it is nice when you wake up feeling actually awake! I am happy I haven't gotten inflamed ones in forever, but nervous that I might once my period comes (3 days) or my IB (hopefully I don't get one!) And I'm sorry it's so noticeable, soon it won't be because you'll have flawless skin woohooo! And don't worry I actually am really excited for all my skin to flake off and reveal smooth, new skin. That's awesome that you haven't had an IB, I bet you'll just get better and better! I love shopping too, and my job actually allows you to cash your check there which I think they know all the girls will blow it there. I didn't on Friday because my boyfriend is taking me to Mall of America on Tuesday! Yayyyy! 6 Hour drive for me since I live in Wisconsin, so I've been charging up my iPod. The only side effect I have at the moment is dry lips, and my forehead actually felt a bit dry, but it could be my imagination of waiting for side effects! I'm hoping by Tuesday I won't have anything too bad so that I can focus on shopping ma butt off.. How's your Sunday?
Day 14!!!
Guys i've been on Accutane TWO WEEKS! And i feel great! I was soo terrified to start this drug, but so far it's been so incredibly easy! I know it will very highly likely not always be like this, cuz this just seems way too good to be true... But I'll just enjoy this nice time for now. My face is looking probably the best its ever been right now, since like starting the course. My chin breakout has dramatically improved and my forehead is becoming so much smoother!
I had a big sucker coming in on my forehead last night and I was kinda pissed cuz it was starting to look so good.. Woke up this morning, only a little red dot! Ahhh:) Honestly I probably only have like 1 or 2 actives right now. CRAZY! I usually have too many to count, that pop up everyday. Im so scared things will get worse though and I'll be all excited for nothing.. But just gotta hope for the best I guess.
My face is only a tinyy bit dry, like after i shower, then it gets really oily again like it always does. My lips don't hurt at all, only slightly chapped which is great. Honestly, the ONLY thing out of all Accutane side effects possible that really seems to bug me so far is some lower back pain.
Oh and Im going to this place in my town today we call the cliffs, where like everyone goes to jump off these cliffs into the lake. It's awesome and everyone just likes to hang out there in the summer. But i haven't done anythingg at all yet out in the sun for a long period of time while being on Accutane, so i really hope my skin reacts okay with all the sun i'll be getting today. Im gonna put on a ton of sunscreen though on my face and body since i'll be in my bathing suit so hopefully it all works out. Wish me luck!
I'm so happy for you! You deserve your course to go amazing. Everyone does, but sadly not all of us have that luck, hopefully your course remains to continue as being amazing! If that makes any sense.. nice wording there Taylor 
. Just lather yourself with spf, and you should be good to go, you still could pick up some color which would be nice too! That sounds awesome about the cliffs, but wait, is it incredibly warm by you to do that? If so, I'm fricken jealousss. It's only 40 degrees by me :/ come onnn warm weather 
.
Taylor: Hey sorry for the kinda late reply, yesterday was such a busy but awesome day! Yeah I know! haha and oh yeah i know how that is. Anything new come up yet? Yeah I hope you don't either! Yes new smooth, flawless skin will be so awesome. Haha omigosh yeah I would love to just spend all my money there! At last my first paycheck at least
AHH lucky!! Sounds so much fun, im so jealous! Yay that's just tomorrow, i bet you're so excited. My boyfriend hatess shopping, so thats awesome yours is taking you to the biggest mall like everr. haha and well that's good you're seeing some side effects so you know its starting to work. But also really good, it's nothing serious yet. Yes I bet you just wanna shop your butt off without worrying about stupid ole acne!
And awh thanks so much. I really hope the same for you. And yes i understood what you were saying. ahah i gotchyuu girl And 40 degrees right now? Wheeew it rarely even gets to that here during our winter! And warm? Oh its much more than that. It's HOT. Yesterday it reached about 110 degrees, and its not even summer yet!! The heat is pretty crazy here, but I guess I just gotta accept it and enjoy the fact I can swim already and tan (when im not on Accutane
) now and have a nice longg summer. Ha but i love winter the most <3
I absolutely am JEALOUS of your warm weather! Wisconsin sucks, we only get 3 months of warm weather, and normally the highest is in the 80s.. if I may ask, what state do you live in for it to be 110!? I am lucky he is taking me He isn't a really big shopper, but he has 2 sisters he had to take to the mall a lot and doesn't mind it too much now. I'm going to go broke tomorrow going there.. No IB yet wooohoo! Dry lips, and my skin feels a tiny bit drier than regular, I actually used moisturizer earlier! YAY! That's awesome you didn't burn, I'll have to get a sunscreen with a high spf soon, cause I tan easy, but I burn if I'm in the sun too long.. but since our weather is POOP, I'll wait..

Yeah it's pretty nice to have such a long summer. But the summers here are like deadly D: Ahh so hot.. Yeah we don't even get 80s in the summer here, haa thats too low. That's like really nice for us. And i live in Arizona. And i might I add the hottest town in Arizona. At least a lot of other places in this state get snow and all that, which we don't.
Oh well that's cool though I took my boyfriend shopping last week and he just wanted to leave the whole time, what a party pooper 
Haha but oh well, I guess that's just how guys are and he lives with no girls so he neverr goes shopping. Ha and yayy have fun today girl! Ooh that's good everything is looking fine with your face. Hopefully it all stays the same and just keeps improving from here! Yeah you don't really need to buy any just yet I guess. Unless you plan on tanning or swimming in your 40 degree weather 
Day 16!
HOLY BLACKHEADS! Woke up this morning, looked in the mirror, and it was like attack of the blackheads on my nose. I don't know why, but for some reason blackheads have always been like the grossest thing to me. They just look weird and like your face is all dirty. So you can guess my disgust when I saw my nose was completely covered in them. Bleck.
Is this normal?? Like is the Accutane pushing them out or something? My nose feels kinda rough now too.. like they're raised or something. I hope somehow they'll be gone soon. Or is there anything I could do to get rid of them, that won't be too harsh while on 'Tane?
Still the same horrible back pain. Gah, go away. Now. And my nose is getting superr dry underneath and my lips are slowly getting more chapped, but nothin too bad at all. Still staying positive for now. I feel a few little bumps under the skin though that will probably come up soon which sucks.. I just hope they don't get too big.
Oh and about the other day guys, I was perfectly fine! I was outside like all day in the sun in my bathing suit and didn't get burnt at all. I'm not gonna lie though, I put a shittt ton of sunblock on before I left and reapplied it like once or twice on my body.Ha so i'm guessing that helped a lot. But oh well, better to be safe than sorry!
Yes, I had blackheads on my nose as well. Before Accutane, my nose always seemed to have darkish bumps, but I didn't know what it was. Then about 2 weeks in, my nose got extremely rough and bumpy with blackheads. They were there for less than a week and then I woke up one morning and they were completely gone. So yeah, I guess accutane is flushing them out.

Oh alright, thanks for the info! I can see that happening while on Accutane, since it's supposed to get rid of everything in your skin. I'm also 2 weeks in with that rough feeling on the nose, so hopefully they're gone soon like yours were! Kinda gross to think all that gunk is just sittin there under your skin waiting to come out huh?
Yeah, blackheads can last a very long time. It's amazing I had them on my nose all that time and didn't really even know. My nose is all smooth and clear now lol.
Gah i see that now Hopefully they'll be gone sometime sorta soon at least though cuz of the Accutane and everything helping. Haha I know, thats how i feel too! Like i had no idea they were all there this whole time. AH i cant wait till i can finally say that too!!
Yeah, blackheads can last a very long time. It's amazing I had them on my nose all that time and didn't really even know. My nose is all smooth and clear now lol.
Gah i see that now
I've had deep blackheads on my nose that have been there for years and my nose is bumpy too with them coming to the surface finally . Yeah its definitely normal, I get excited when I see a few that are ready to just fall off. They don't look nice, but welcome them as it means they are closer to gone

Oh good! I was hoping it was normal since Accutane is supposed to get rid of everything, but wasn't sure. That's awesome yours are finally coming all out though, I bet that's nice to see a difference like that. Mine are still are here and I want them to go away Good way of looking at it, that's definitely true. Thanks!
AH guys my derm told me I had to fast for my next blood test, which is today. I'M. SO. HUNGRRYYYY.

Ahahah that made me laugh I seriously eat 200 pounds of food a day, I LOVE FOOOD. I have a high metabolism too, but I'm afraid it might just catch up with me when I get older.. if so, be prepared to see Taylor on the news as being the fattest woman in the world. I could never even go a day without eating, I seriously think I have a problem haha! My dad is making me some toast, eggs, and bacon mmmm, sorry just had to rub that in a little bit!
