It seems there is NO HELP out there for those of us suffering from side effects after accutane.
I have tried everything and my health in general - especially the health of my hair, skin & nails has so sharply declined and after several specialists, derm's endo's, skin therapists,multiple doctors visits, extensive tests, etc etc I am always told the same thing.
" We dont know why.... "Insert issue here" . next question - "are you on medications"?
Well No, but let me tell you what I have put into my body unknowingly....
"Hmm. but its been 2 years now you cant be experiencing side effects still"...
Really??????????
hairloss? Skin colour change? deterioration of skin texture? facial pain?
"Hmm were not sure what to make of that sorry".....
I had never had a health issue in my life before I made the life destroying choice of putting this drug into my system.
I reach out in here in anger, frustration at the medical professional's complete lack of understanding of this toxic drug and how it is capable of systematically destroying the human bodies natural functions.
I have never been on Accutane, but have had two rounds with another medication that also can lead to permanent bodily damage. (Facial tics, damaged glucose levels, hair loss) and my respect for those who have to deal with the side effects of Tane has only risen. It is a very serious drug. And it CAN affect you for YEARS afterwards. Absolutely.
I'm so sorry others around you haven't listened. I hope you can find the support you need here.
