Ok, I read this thread regularly and it is depressing to read it sometimes.... Before I took accutane(and i am taking it still) I suffer(ed) bipolar syndrome with all that it comes with, type1 diabetes, acne all over my body etc and..... I still fight to stay alive and stay positive every single day. Do not think of yourself as a victim and cry all the time because you will lose if you mental state is a 'victim' one. Fight and win. Yes, I do feel suicidal and sad and depressed quite often but I also know that I can fight and win it. I bet you all I have more problems than most of you complaining here but you won't listen because you have accutane to blame for your health issues etc. I was born depressed but I have been also born with a fighting spirit and a brain to match it. So, my advice to all you suffering from whatever that is- fight it and win.
I have an electric toothbrush.
Even that irritates my teeth/gums, so I gently brush with a manual toothbrush now.
It's fucked.
The link I posted scares the shit out of me, because it makes me feel so powerless.
But it's hard not to search stuff on Google, when you suspect a link.
I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
What was I thinking, applying for bar work with extreme social anxiety?
Bar people don't have awful self-esteem and terrible social skills.
It's only a matter of time before something big goes wrong, and the people at work realise I'm retarded.
Every day, I feel like I'm under a haze, living a blur.
Every night I weigh up suicide in my mind.
Don't forget, I record those videos typically when I feel okay about my appearance, or after I've spent a while getting ready.
My hair is completely fucked, but I won't record myself when I know it's visible.
Too ashamed.
P.S I'm pretty sure I have man boobs, despite being underweight.
There is definitely a hormonal imbalance.
Is there any possible chance of repairing the body now?
Hormones are surely the most complicated thing in the world?
Hello everyone. Here is a little update on what I am doing.
One month ago today, I started eating only organic plants. I have been progressing on what I eat, when I eat, and how much to eat. I am listening to my body more and doing what feels right.
Right now, I like to eat fruits early in the day. The sugar in fruits is great for getting energy to start the day. As the day progresses I like to start eating vegetables, herbs, and fungi (mushrooms). Also, I have recently started buying spring water so I can stop drinking tap.
When I first switched to this diet, I was eating a lot. I was stuffing myself despite feeling it was too much. I have started eating less, finding my balance. This is working much better.
When I heat my body up, I sweat out this strange, dark 'filth'. It is squishy and can be rolled into a ball. It is great to see this waste come out of me. And it feels great.
The inflamation and yellowness of my body and skin has very much reduced. Wonderful.
Though, I have not exercised much over the past month. I spent most of the time on my butt at the computer. I am starting to get outside and move around more. I feel much better so I am more motivated to do so. It would drastically increase my health if I started exercising and getting sunlight on me regularly. Time for me to get on that.
I love you all! Keep at it!

Yeah, without being gay and what-not, you're looking pretty fine Mr. Connor.
In the first picture, do you intentionally have your shoulders pulled back?
I think you can tell that the jaundice has died down, thought your face still looks a bit tinted.
Sometimes I'm outside and I think 'Bloody hell, my skin looks yellow' (not crazy, but noticable).
Your hair always looks in really good condition.
Did you have hair loss at any point?
My hair texture is just awful..
I need it cut regularly.
It'd be interesting to see you without that beard!
Some of you may know I used Invisalign to straighten my teeth.
I hadn't worn my retainers too regularly and now the bottom one's won't fit.
I'm still paying my Mum back for my College course, running a car etc, so my money isn't too pretty.
But I need to pay 600 to get more retainers, because I need my impressions taken again and Invisalign have to ship me some more.
Sucks, but I was down to my last set of retainers and they were pretty dirty.
I can pay in 100 installments, but that means I now have no choice but to carry on working in the bar job I got.
I'm there tonight for my second night, and the social anxiety just makes it painfully difficult.
But hey, it's got to be done.
My biggest problem with it is that I'm aiming to go to bed at the same time each night (10-10:30)
I work 6 until finish tonight.
Finish could be as late as Midnight, which isn't what I need.
Connor - You mentioned you work from home, using your computer?
What sort of work do you do, and how did you get started?
YouTube had made me 20 this month so far, which is the most I've made so far.
Not bad considering I haven't made many videos, and only get a limited amount of viewers.
Would be nice to be making more, but every little helps right now.
I've got a doc's appointment today, just to schedule some blood tests.
I want to get a hormonal panel, check on the thyroid again, and ask for an antibody test.
If it shows 'positive', then it's pretty certain I have hashimoto's.
Before taking any more iodine, I want to know if it's safe too.
I've been feeling even crapper in mornings, I think anyway, and the iodine might have been making things worse.
Said this before, but I think (aside from licorice root and maybe stuff for the Thyroid) it's time I gave up on supplements.
I should receive my last iHerb order shortly.
Can't be dealing with a 20 custom's fee each time.
When I have some money, I want to see my nutritionist again.
Just a bit reluctant because they charge far more than they need to, and it ends up being about 150 just for a simple saliva test (once you've had the appointment and paid the lab).
If I could, I'd want to see if my adrenals had got worse or better.
As for the receding gums, I'm still wanting to figure this out before it gets too bad.
There are people (on curezone) that say their gums have grown back, after receding.
That offers hope.
Do a search on adrenal fatigue (or hypothyroidism) and receding gums and you find some results.
I don't know if that makes things any easier to fix though.
I wish there were better circumstances for me, so I could avoid stress.
I have Wednesday and Friday day time off college/work though, so I should figure out something productive/enjoyable that I can do with my time.
Hey Guys,
It's been a couple of months since my last post. I am 25 year old male suffering from a persistent chronic headache since taking accutane for 2 weeks in November 2005. There is no guarantee that the Roaccutane was the cause but my family and I have spent over $30,000 trying to figure this thing out but have had no answers from the 'health' industry. Since the headache set on in 2005 I've been constantly looking for answers from outside sources only to be pumped full of drugs and medicines for pain which have had no effect at all. It's only over the last few months that I have truly confronted all my issues, including the way I felt before the headache set on. I had moderate acne but was incredibly self conscious to the point where I wouldn't even want to socialise with my friends. Because I went straight off this drug as soon as the headache left, it didn't have any effect on my acne so I have still suffered from it up until about 2 weeks ago. Sometimes I wonder if the anxiety I had while dealing with my acne caused this chronic headache but it's hard to identify any triggers as it's always there (most the time it sits on a 3 out of 10). Not agonising pain but as you could understand, extremely frustrating. I have become a vegan over the last month and started juicing after watching [Removed] on youtube. I eat mostly raw foods but sometimes cook vegan recipes. I have also stopped blaming everyone and everything for my problems. Yes, Roaccutane might be the cause but what good is it going to do sitting around thinking 'fuck Rooaccutane and the evil bastards who prescribed it to me'. All that is going to do is build up anxiety, anger, frustration which will lead to depression. I'm a musician and know my purpose in life but am feeling held back because of this headache but I am starting to see some positive signs. Since going vegan my acne has gone completely. It's the best my skin has looked since I was 15. I have also noticed that my headache has been better more often because I keep a pain diary to rate my headache, anxiety and acne on a daily basis. Everyone who is on this website who is willing to try anything to get their health back. I highly recommend you start juicing daily and eating a diet which consists of mostly fresh fruit and vegetables. Roaccuatne is something that we all ate which has caused these problems and you know what they say 'you are what you eat'. That shit is so fucking true. I believe the only real chance of reversing our side effects is truly relying on nature to heal us. How the fuck is someone else going to fix your body?
Indigo - I seriously think you would start seeing some positive change if you bought a breville fountain plus juicer and started juicing every morning. Eat fresh fruit and veg and cut out all the junk food. Meditate and forgive everyone, including yourself for what has happened to you. I know it's easier said than done but I'm in a fucked position as well and am starting to see hope. Don't get pissed off and lose all hope because you don't see change overnight, give it time. Sometimes it takes 6 months to a year to start regenerating the body but it's really worth a try. As much as you keep telling yourself that you're completely fucked, your not. I've watched some of your vids and you're a bloody smart bloke with a classic sense of humour and talent. Your hair isn't even noticeable and your eyes look fine even though I know that it may not feel that way. Even if you do sometimes feel like 'Roaccutane has fucked me in the head', your brain heals as well. Everything in life can get better, it's up to us to let it get better.
Thank you. I think I am looking pretty fine as well. And I am definately feeling it too!
When I took that first picture, at the time, I thought it was natural to have my shoulders pulled back. Strange I know.
Yes, the yellowness have definately receded, though my face is still pretty yellow. But to have these results in just one month with nothing more than a diet change, and little exercise.. I am extremely thrilled with the results. It is motivating me to do much more.
I have little hair loss. A couple strands might come out now and agin, but it is fine.
And at least you have a job man! That is great. Just still away from the shit alcohol!
I started internet marketing a few months ago, learning from people on internet marketing forums. I have found starting up a good business is not the right thing for me right now. So I am seeking employment. I have an interview at a store today.
For your gums and everything else, eat dem plants!

This.
Though I like chewing stuff with my own teeth in it's whole form. I think it is better than juicing.
But if getting a juicer would help you get started, then by all means, get one.

Hey there. Im a 21 year old guy from Denmark. I just logged on this account for the first time since I joined the page in august because I read this last pages of your thread about Accutane long term damage. The reason Im writing is because you write that you have problems with your hormones and man boobs. I dont know if you are aware of this, or if you maybe already mentioned it earlier in the thread, but there is a syndrome called Klinefelter's syndrome/XXY syndrome, which is caused by guys having an extra X chromosome. This cause decreased testosterone levels and increased follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels. I dont know your story or many of your symptoms or anything. I know you have written a lot about yourself in the post but it will take a week for me to read it all because English is not my first language. I just saw that you wrote about hormone imbalances and man boobs and thought there might be a connection. If you have not heard about it, it is definitely worth the shoot looking it up.
All the best.
Connor - It's normal to lose a few strands of hair (or up to 50, some say).
I really meant, is it noticable?
When you come out of the shower, of get out of bed, is your hair patchy at all?
If not, was it ever?
As for the XXY syndrome, I really don't want another theory added to the mix, haha, but thanks for writing anyway.
Are you suggesting I was born with this, or Accutane caused it?

It really is not noticeable at all. The patchiest part of my hair after Tane was the hair by my temples. It is much fuller now and is only getting better. The roots of my hair are stronger everyday.
That theory about moobs sounds false to me. Diet is the reason in my opinion.
On 9/24/2012 at 1:49 AM, hitman87 said:Any tips on (social) anxiety here? Been suffering greatly the last few weeks of a sore throat, headaches and general stress things. Can't seem to figure out how to only search this thread instead of the whole forums. I've had this issue throughout my 8 years of accutane use, but ever since I stopped it seems to come up more random and for more drastic with no obvious reason.
Tried magnesium and rhodiola, but those two seem to power my anxiety even more... [Edited image out]
Ugh, wrote a long answer but accidentally removed everything.
If u have been taking the drug for 8 years i strongly believe you are folate and b12 deficient, and that it could help you to supplement these. B-complex probably also contains beneficial things although not researched jet. Atleast i havent found anything. Posted some good documentation on b12 and folate though, further back in this thread. Of the b12 you should preferrably take the methylcobalamin kind. I feel better on the cyano form also, but its much lower qulity.
Liquid vit d3 helped me, and had lasting effect, but not fixing everything. Just feel better. Overdoing this does not make me feel any better ,my levels became high and i stopped, still having lasting good effect.
I stopped eating bread, it gives me heart palpitations. Have not tested positive for celiac, but staying of bread for about a month+ clears my thoughts and no heart palpitations after eating! I used to eat A LOT of bread with no problems at all, so it was hard for me to change my diet so drastically, but being persistant has payed of.
ALSO!, your sore throat, have you been checked for a hiatial hernia? I ruptured my diphragm and got a hiatial hernia while lifting heavy things on accutane. Got sore throat and voice change for a while, some stomach pain, but not that bad compaired to my other problems i thought. Doc did not detect it untill i had erosions and bleeding after the acid, long time after. I elevated my bed 6 inches at head end for this and had huge relief!. I have more home remedies also for this, ask if anyone else here also gets this. Get an gastroscopy to check it.
Are you sure you really have social anxiety, or is it your doctor that is telling you this? Oftentimes one drinks and eats when socialising, could be a reaction to food, or even many things going on around you... I could not concentrate on anything for a long while after accutane, even looking at a computer screen trying to play a game severly stressed me out if several things happened at the same time. It did not have anything to do with the people. Totally cured of the "things going on around me" thing now, but still struggling if i concentrate really hard.
For the chromosome thing, i dont think any drug can add or remove a chromosome. It could possibly create the same sideeffects though..
The iodine is still making a difference in allowing me to feel more energetic in a positive way. As well as vitamins and minerals (ABCDE and K, magnesium, zinc, etc.) which are the building blocks of our health.
Early in June of this year I broke out in a poison ivy-like rash, in fact that is what my doc thought it was and told me to wait it out. By the middle of September it was still lingering and I saw a dermatologist (not again about the issue. She diagnosed it as dyshidrotic eczema of the hand. When I mentioned Accutane she smirked and said with confidence, "Accutane is gone from your body after 1 month after discontinuation." Anywho, she wrote me perscript for a steroid cream, telling me it would take at least 3-4 weeks to go away with a 2x per day application, and that I'd need to continue applying it once a day after that for a few weeks, then every other day.
After the Accutane debacle I suffered though, I wasn't about to jump in head first. Many people it turns out (thanx internet!) have reported that the steroid cream makes you break out even worse after you stop taking it. This kind of dynamic sounded too familiar so I researched some other options. I selected what sounded like the most reasonable treatment to me, a soak of epsom salts (magnesium-rich) in water a couple times a day for 10 minutes and then applied some emu oil which is rich in Lineolic acid, Omega 3's & 6's. LO AND BEHOLD, after less than a week, the blisters had completely disappeared, the first time since June as I said...There is still some rough skin in its place, but there is no longer any itching either which is arguably the worst part of having eczema. I can't wait to let my doctor know what I did and to frame it around a breakdown of how the big-pharma companies and the FDA approve only complex, harmful treatments for things like eczema only because they are proprietary, money making formulas but not anywhere near the most effective or safe option. It's basically fraud.

Thanks for the links, but I ditched fluoride and chemical toothpastes a while back.
I use a product called Aloe Dent, and it's good stuff.
Guys, I've gotta say... This bar job is killing me.
I'm doing fairly well in some respects.
I had to take drinks out to a table of about 14 youngers (19 years old'ish) and hand them all out.
Social anxiety makes that a challenge, but I didn't really fuck up.
It's horrible though.
Trying to carry a tray with that many drinks on is tough, and about halfway through my shift, if not before, my back starts killing me and I can't get comfortable.
I find it hard to sleep after, and keep waking up in a weird semi-conscious daze where I think I'm at work.
I wake up several times through the night and by the time it's 7am, I'm up because there's not point anymore.
I thought I had tonight off, but i'd read the timetable wrong.
I've got work 5 onwards, and on a Saturday night I could finish as late as Midnight, or worse.
I've not been there a week yet, but I can see that in about a week's time I'm doing a wednesday night by myself.
WHAT.
Mr. Social Anxiety running the bar.. That's not a combination made for disaster.
One tip, that is helping slightly, and I saw this in a video, is to repeat (in my head) 'I love you' as an affirmation.
Mainly to try and get that rooted in the subconscious mind, but with S.A every stranger becomes a foreign enemy.
It is useful to go around with that in mind, while steadying the breath.
It's not a cure for the problem by any means, but at the moment, it's all I've got.
My life's just taken a massive turn, and at the moment I'm finding it hard to adjust.
I don't see my girlfriend as much.
I've become really insecure because my self-esteem is low.
She's made some friends (boys and girls) at University, and went out with them last night.
I worry that she'll start liking someone else.
Someone who's not depressed most of the time, and someone who isn't tired and unwell.
Fear is just winning out at the moment, and I shouldn't be surprised that I'm sleeping rough.
I've made some friends too, at college, despite my massive feeling of discomfort around others.
I don't want to get left behind.
There are some really nice people on the course, so that's good.
There's also a couple of divs, haha.
Time is just going really fast at the moment.
I'm going to be on TV in nearly a month (still don't know the date)!
That'll be.... awkward/cringey/scary.
Surely, some people from my college course and future customers will see it.
I'll probably end up having to be at work when it's on TV, haha.
I ordered some Chlorella and plan to take 3 grams daily.
As for other supplements, I'm going to cut them out.
Been taking St. Johns Wort for a week, so I hope that kicks in at some point soon.
Peace and love to you all x
hey guys, I tried this full spectrum digestive enzyme and it worked, I can eat fats now! Probably veggies too.
Check it out, it even works on crazy stuff like Celiac's. Hippocrates said all disease begins in the gut. Might as well try it!
This is the gold standard but I just picked up a $6 bottle from the local drug store and it worked.

Hang in there Indigo! I know it's easier to say then do, focus on the good and postive things and get out! Let me know how you do on the St. John's and give it about 1 month or 2 at least. Also, I can't remember if you tried, but some accutane suffers have had sucess w/ 5http I think it is called. I don't know...Oh and when is that documentry to air? Peace and luv back

dudes, inflamation!
my buddy who I worked with at gnc now works for a big natreucutical company and he thinks the up and coming thing is going to be revolved around enzymatic therapy! recall,many people have spoken to the healing powers of high doses of beneficial bacteria as well as problems symptomatic of yiest infection, as well my personal successes with peppermint oil and now, as of friday my sucesses with the young living essential oil, thieves who's primary ingredient is cloves who's antioxidant capacity (orac) and iron reducing levels, etc is higher than that of spinach, which some here have had problems with and it (spinach) contains iron. article 1: [Edited link out]
article two: [Edited link out]
it has more of this really good anti oxidant that marijuana contains. of course as the previous article stated: "steam distilled essential oil is the best way to consume clove oil". we all know that if we google or youtube medical marijuana juicing you'll find out that the advocates of that for things like that for cancer say juicing is the best but if we believe in natural healing I think essential oils should be a part of our regime. there's also an expansive gallbladder cleanse called "glf" I am considering buying but I also might try tudca cuz I think this shit might be doing detox retox through our fat cells ([or which I workout and take mild niacin flush doses and sauna. as well as essential oils to neutralize the bacteria in my stomach created by the accutane stuck to the dry mucous stuck on my stomach walls or some shit. so, essential oils, juicing, sweating, niacin. fyi I think you need a lot of electrolites and rest when cleansing. some, on this natural podcast recommend coffee enemas but I am skeptical of those and I think essential oils might work the same way without even risking eliminating much good bacteria, and it kills h. pylori from what I can research. clove has the same anti oxidant that makes juicing medical marijuana effective. clove's orac is so potent you probabaly don't even want to take it everyday or you might get sick as it kills a bunch of toxis. I felt great all day after using it on friday tho. high energy and good mucous production and happier even. I think there's something about antioxidants. I took 1mg of melatonin which is a crazy awesome anti aging anti oxidant, dr oz recommends 1mg of sublingual melatonin or some black cherry juice right before bed. anyways my left elbow consistently hurted since my last symptom reoccurence made it hurt but after taking the melatonin my elbow hasn't hurt for days and I've even been lifting weights. the nice thing is I still put on muscle well cuz I have good genes and it seems that my testosterone can still get to my muscles to make them grow it just still has a problem converting to dht sometimes so sex so the sex organs don't stand at attention as much as before. anyhow, antioxidants, enzymes, minerals is what im trying now.
In other news, I am acting tomorrow for my friend's feature film as an extra, although the role I play might get a few lines and stuff. I kinda think I would be good at being a famous actor cuz I'd get to bitch to the world what I find fucked up about the world and a large portion of people would listen to me, kinda like scarlett johansson or natalie portman or sean penn or some shit.
Dude... paragraphs.
Yes, I think you are onto some good things. Oils, enzymes, probiotics, inflammation, herbs, udca.
I don't recall the specifics of your condition. But I view "cleanses" of any organ very negatively. If you want to fast, that's one thing, but overdosing on some nasty concoction to provoke a major reaction strikes me as a terrible idea.
I have spent quite a bit of time looking at amazon lately, they have a great selection of products, and you can filter by reviews and sales rank. Very informative. I have a large spreadsheet as a result. Maybe later I will put together a list of the products relevant to this board.
It's amazing to eat steak, pork chops and salmon again with zero negative consequences!!! And spices galore.
Also I'm popping Krill oil like there's no tomorrow, making up for omega-3 deficiency.
So, summary of things had big effects:
Paleo diet / my super extreme scallop diet
udca
Vitamin B, especially B12
yoghurt, especially sugar free homemade
digestive enzyme pill - biggest
Things that probably/kinda worked:
Krill oil
colostrum
glutagenics powder
vitamin D
Things that made no difference:
herball liver pills
Eh whatever not gonna finish this list
i have a little bit of numbness on the hands and feet why is that?
I have to remember what you suffer from, but when is the last time you had labs or have you had any? I believe you had some sexual dysfunction??? Are you taking any medications or supplements????? Any joint, tendon or back/neck/spine issues???? It could be a lot of things that cause numbness feeling from Thyroid, iron deficency, b12 def, other deficencies, certian meds (accutane included) cause Neuropathy, spine issues, tendon issues, hormonal issues etc... What are you doing now to help your issues from accutane????
