I just have to try and move past the accutane faze of my life, thinking about it too much isnt doing any good. Im going to try and get off the antidepressant slowly and go from there. I think Ive talk...

hey good idea! I remember reading about sage. I also get very hot in my sleep (and have weird dreams, prob a side effect of meds). I also read lemon balm extract or tea is cooling to the body as well....

It cost usually $ per minute or around there, so 30 mins=$30. Depending on the amount of hairs, it takes 5-10 sessions to clear the area. But like I said make sure the person who does it is reputable,...

good god. I hope you get a break soon Oli girl, you have certainly been through the ringer over and again.[Edited image out] On 5/21/2013 at 10:18 AM, oli girl said: On 5/21/2013 at...

To be honest I havent had any side effects I can attribute to yaz though everyone is different. Some women say their skin gets worse before it gets better but mine didnt, it stayed the same until 3-4 ...

...yeah not unless you want man boobs (Ive heard of men taking spiro and getting those! Talk about adding to your problem.)   My skin feels the oiliest when Ive been in humid weather especial...

I had acne for 20 years (since I was 12). It was mostly mild until last year when it went cystic...I tried a lot of things, topicals, antibiotics 1 month of accutane which was very bad for me. I was f...

My skin feels the oiliest when Ive been in humid weather especially if its hot, or in a really stuffy humid room. No saunas for me... I also have a vascular disorder which affect the blood vessels, go...

I took accutane for 1 month and constantly felt like I was burning up. I slept naked in air conditioning with a fan... like I was having menopause! 9 months later, I still am still sun sensitive and h...

hi Lilly, heres what worked for me, I take a birth control called yaz, it has a similar ingredient to spiro (drospirenone) but only 1/4 the dosage. I couldnt tolerate spiro as it made my blood pressur...

there are small red marks for a few days after electrolysis but they disappear. But my skin doesnt tend to scar, thank god. Yeah it was many years ago that I tried electrolysis - I might again to cl...

what do you mean the one side of your thyroid is gone? Was it removed or did it disappear somehow? hmm...You know I always thought about taking Iodine, but I am not sure if it would do me any good a...

dude...I think you should find a chick with acne herself, then she wont look at you that way. Seriously, a partner with acne would end any problems with self esteem so find a cute girl who has acne an...

Um, aside from all the obvious dangers of accutane to the skin--killing the oil glands, destroying the skin barrier and causing hair loss, how about we talk about a little something called accutane p...

I was given antibiotics back in 2006 by my first derm, who never bothered to explore WHY I still had acne at 25. I took minocyclen on and off for years. I agree with the other posters, when I stopped...

shaving makes the hairs feel courser because when you shave you leave blunt ends, its not that it grows in thicker it just feels that way. I did maybe 10 30-minute sessions of electrolysis, but I fou...

Stop worrying about it so much, you will meet someone when the time is right probably when you least expect it. Anybody who says people with acne are dirty is ignorant, most of us are cleaner than the...

lol lucky, then! Every time I drink heavy the following week my skin is more firm looks healthy even bad no break outs.

I dunno, if it makes you feel any better most girls I know wouldnt let acne on a guy stop them from going out with him if he were also cute, funny, smart or had any of the usual endearing characteris...

First of all, dont believe the statistics THEY give you.. "80% cure rate"... yeah thats why so many people are on their second or third course of accutane on this site--if it works so well, why doesnt...

I hope my son never gets acne, and if he does, I hope he doesnt let it bother him as much as mine bothered me. of course, at the first sign of acne I will do my best to help out, as long as he wants m...

OK people heres some news: if youre going to believe this theory then everyone with any kind of visible physical imperfection shouldnt mate, period. Does that mean short people, fat people, people wit...

I dont know the answer to your question, but I agree--we as a species are pretty lame as weve been in the sun for thousands of years but we havent evolved yet so that we dont burn? Our ancestors were ...

*moi* however Ive read people having reactions from being on it for 10 days or so...some people cannot tolerate even the smallest amount. Russian Roulette is a good analogy, some people take big amoun...

yeah--stop taking it! Not everyone can tolerate bc pills.We dont have dianette in the US, I take one called Yaz. Oddly enough, Ive felt great since taking it and had no side effects, and it cleared my...
