Hi everyone
I havent updated my blog in ages, primarily a proof to myself that when people get better, they don't really post, so don't get discouraged if you don't read a ton of success stories on blogs/boards!
My Skin has been very good since I finished the tane. I only occasionally get small pimples around my period, that go away. My red marks have also been improving significantly. I still wear a bit of foundation when I'm out but Im sure its mostly due to my own insecurities, rather than people noticing anything in my skin. I have small little ice pick scars which don't bother me much because they're not really obvious
My routine has been Diane 35, Spiro (100 mg) and using a retinol product that my derm makes. I'm feeling good about things and have been very happy!! I'm only a bit concerned about what would happen after I get off Diane and Spiro, and generally hope that the tane killed the acne and that if I go off the BCP and Spiro, my skin will be fine. I really reallly hope so, but almost too scared to try!!
Anyway has any stories to share on that??
Just also wanted to write you all a post that i hope will help if just a little - this site has been a terrific source of support and friends for me...In the dark days when I was struggling through my tane course, so many people gave me hope and helped me out. I found a community that I could talk to without being embarrassed. It will pass -- just keep the faith and the routine!! Tane is a long journey but Im sure will be a successful one for you!! I look back now and am so happy with my skin -- I didnt think it would get to be this great!! I wish u all the best best of luck! and I will update my blog more frequently -- Didn't think I'd be saying this but I miss this website!!
I think many actually don't come back -- Its been around 2 years for me now, there are many success stories out there! I think its important for people here to also hear success stories and be optimistic...its not always a lifetime battle and there is hope out there..much hope!
Just wanted to share my own little story and wish you all the very best! I will post and stay in touch
