Day 2

- Don't feel headaches at the moment

- Joints still feel stiff

- I noticed I'm breaking out around my chin but this is most likely not due to accutane

- No improvement on acne so far

Day 3

- I guess I'm experiencing what people on accutane call the initial breakout. I think I'm experiencing this because accutane pushes acne out to the skin quicker. It generally takes 2 weeks for acne to form.

- Joints are stiffer

- Muscle is used to the stiffness

- No improvement on acne so far

Day 4

- Left knee hurts a bit

- Some cyst begins to form and white heads. I went to the dermatologist for costisone shots for treatment

- Dermatologist said in 3 days I can alternate between 80mg accutane and 40mg

- No improvement with acne from accutane but thanks to costisone shots the cysts is healing fast

Thank you!

Day 12 - 18

- Nose bleeds happen from time to time

- Eyes are dry

- Lips are extremely dry so I put lip balm on it

- Lots of small black heads form on the nose... my dermatologist said it will eventually go away because of accutane

- Overall skin is a lot less oily, people don't mention how oily my skin is anymore
