Hi, thanks for calling by!
I've never written a review about a medication journey before but as roaccutane is still a taboo subject for some I thought I'd share my journey. 
Ok so my weight at day 1 was 56kg
im 5"1 1/2, that half inch makes all the difference lol
so I'm a female 34 years old now and my acne started when I was 21 years old and pregnant with my first child. Before then I'd had perfect skin not even any pimples or spots through school.
at first I tried to live with my acne which was mainly black heads with spots that would surface as red lumps and be very sore to the touch and surrounding areas would be sore too. Squeezing would sometimes help clear them up but then sometimes squeezing would make them bigger and then they would become cuts that would take an age to heal on my face and chest. 
I visited my gp who put me on antibiotics for 6 months. This only slightly helped. I was referred to a dermatologist 10 years ago who tried me on antibiotics again then a gel for my face then a cream for my face but all they seemed to do was burn my skin. I changed my contraceptive pill, this didn't help either, I tried face washes, no face washes, microdermabrasion no success, acid peels no success with this either,  tried cutting all my hair off as some would suggest it was oil from my hair (shampoo oils etc) this didn't work either as the spots remained and by now started to appear on my back. My spots would be worse when I bathed in the sea and exposed myself to sun but would really help clearing them up for a short time. Once back from holiday they would rear their ugly head again. I also suffer with books around my groin area too. I also have chronic greasy hair with dandruff and make up would slide off my face within an hour. I'm painting such a pretty picture of myself here! Lol
So that's the back story.
after 10 years of begging I finally got another referral to the derm who after looking at me instantly said roaccutane was my best chance. Cystic acne.
I went through all the lectures on pregnancy etc which are very important lectures to listen to due to the side effects. I changed my pill to the combination pill as I was on the mini pill and I received my first months supply. I was on a low dose of 20mg. For the first few weeks I felt quite tired and had vivid dreams. At this point I didn't exercise but was active doing DIY, mowing lawns etc. My skin began to go red and I didn't apply moisturiser as I thought the point was to dry your skin out? But turns out moisturising was key to keeping the process flowing.  Was prescribed dermol 500, dermabase and aveeno cream.  Work fantastic but found dermol was by far the best facial moisturiser for me and intensive care cocobutter for body. All applied after a bath/shower. My lips started feeling tight so started trying out different lip balms. Go to home bargains far cheaper there. Just because it's  expensive doesn't mean it will work for you. Its trial and error. Always carry something even If it's a pot of Vaseline.
i Also found my lady bits became sore/dry/itchy and had a couple of episodes of thrush. Try hydrocortisone cream externally failing that visit your gp for further advice.

-Month 2 my tabs were raised to 25mg and the tiredness continued but the dreams eased off.
this is when my chest spots went crazy and I had all white heads appear overnight (ok might have been a couple of days) from the start I applied factor 50 sun cream to my face and wore a hat as often as possible. My lips began to feel tight and peeling I found Nivea the best lip balm. I stopped washing my skin with exfoliation gloves as the burn when you moisturise was very real! My greasy hair improved! My dandruff improved but Had scabs on my scalp so was prescribed dermax shampoo.
This is also the time my heels began to hurt, when I walked at first or woke in the morning they would be tender and stiff but would ease the more I walked. But the tenderness remained. My hips began to stiffen the longer I stayed in a position such as sitting on the sofa so id have to get up and walk around to loosen up. 
month 2 I noticed my clothes getting tighter on me. My appetite never disappeared. But I eat clean to a degree.

-month 3 my meds were upped
to 40mg my joints started to stiffen quite a lot and I had to pace myself. I made the mistake of visiting a theme park with my children and by the afternoon I was in agony with the joint pain and moved at a snails pace. Due to the fatigue of the increase in meds I developed low mood and started finding myself short tempered and crying over silly things. Make sure please! That you have someone on speed dial who knows your on this medication to call when or if you have these moments to speak to even if it's just to moan about  things which others may find silly. When your on these tablets the emotions are very real to you and can affect you more at this time than it might any other time or to someone else. It does not make you a loser or a weak person. It's the chemicals talking!
i spoke to my mother and best friend when i needed to and even came off the Meds for a couple of days to clear my head at my next appointment I spoke to my derm nurse to tell her what happened and what I did to ease the issue. Always be open about  how you feel. 
During this month all the black heads and spots opened on my face and literally with a hair pin slipped across my face they all popped. I had large pores for a day but using an ice pack they shrunk. Yay! Massive improvement on my back and chest!

-month 4
meds upped to 55mg the heel issue remained and gets worse depending on what I do. I started light 10 minute exercises each night. My acne is clearing up amazingly and no new black heads or spots but I have gained 5 kg so I've been booked thyroid tests and derm nurse agreed it needed investigating.

-month 5 
meds upped to 60mg due to the weight gain and an extra 4 weeks added to my treatment plan. 
So my joints hurt a lot! My ribs on my chest feel like they need to stretch and my back is stiff! I've had my final 4 weeks today and I have to say its happy day!
 My spots have dramatically improved if anything disappeared. Roaccutane is a tough journey but for me it's been worth the hard journey! If you have any questions no matter how peculiar to do with taking roaccutane feel free to ask!
