Had we been cared for by our doctors we would not be here, in fact the majority of us should never had been offered this drug in the first place - but we all know that. I now look. feel and live lik...

I'm pretty sure Dan doesn't have a policy against buying from other sellers. Plus, if you can get it from Ebay in the UK, it might save you some hefty shipping charges. That's reasonable.

Different areas of our skin are at different thicknesses - our faces tend to be thinner, more permeable. Treatments tend to penetrate better there. We are also able to be more careful about what our f...

While I don't have any milk allergies, I try to stay away from it for the fat content. It's hard - I love milk. Like, LOVE it. I can drink half a gallon a day, easy. So I always keep a bottle of water...

thanks Elsewhere... i'm Bipolar II actually....no one else knows that i'm suffering from this disorder but a few of my family and closest relatives...10 people max..... actually the major depressive ...

I'd say you have cystic acne. The upper nodule looks like it's lodged pretty deep. Tanning can help dry out your skin, which can reduce active acne, but it needs to not be overdone. Our skin is so del...

I despise winter. My depression deepens to the worst it will be all year (cold and lack of sunlight are not my friends). I find even getting out of bed difficult. I fight not to sleep 14 hours a day. ...

It's okay to rant. *hugs* We all need to do that - and often. When I got off Abilify (the side effects were too much), my paranoia and depression levels shot through the roof. You are not imagining th...

Hair loss is frightening. I can understand being extremely nervous about this regimen. I don't know anything about the medication you're on, but I can say that hopefully your doctor can help assuage ...

There is something to the idea that the more you scratch, the itchier you get. Especially with skin problems. And it's soooo irritating to your skin and inflames everything! I'm actually trying not to...

<--- loves greasy pizza. Hells to the yeah hell yeah!

It's okay. It's a touchy subject - I get plenty of touchy about plenty of things here, too. Is okay. Yeah, we have had cancer survivors here. Lost one of them to cancer while she was an active membe...

.....sooooo here's something new..... consulted a psychiatrist today...... i'm diagnosed to have clinical depression; bipolar disorder and gonna start taking meds for it......... .....i asked if it's...

There does need to be a movement within the medical community to inform patients of the risks of Accutane more fully - something I have never denied. Simply because I (or you, since I can assume you...

I am hardly dismissive about Accutane's dangers. And no, I've never taken Accutane. I've been around here for....(counts) 7 years now and have read hundreds and hundreds of accounts of Accutane. Lots ...

I have to get in here and say this: I have been the victim of suffering rare and severe side effects from a medication. Not Accutane - not even acne related - but that one in a hundred thousand or so ...

She does have a high sex drive bc of her high androgens (pcos) but masturbarinf or not will not affect acne. It's the high hormones that cause the acne..and the high sex drive.   This is very v...

I didn't mean to depress you - sorry. I just meant that you are not alone - and that it's okay to be tired of it sometimes. To be weary. Recovery is impossible without absolute honesty, even if that h...

I don't have a lot to offer in terms of practical advice, but I did want to stop by and welcome you to the messageboards. You're in good hands here. Welcome to the family - you'll find the support you...

Treat it like any other open wound. Keep it clean and keep it dry. Apply treatment - gentle, gentle treatment - maybe Neosporin, though use the CREME version, not the gel kind - the gel kind will clog...

I do not have BDD, but I do deal with Type 1 Bipolar. This means endless trips to the psychiatrist to confirm, evaluate, and readjust my medication. It means continually checking in with my loved ones...

I don't have any useful advice about the treatments you're looking at, but I wanted to hop in here and let you know your among friends. Glad to have you here.

I will get nodules underneath my skin occasionally - no head, which makes working with them impossible. I slap a huge gob of bp on before I go to sleep (wait for it to dry, which takes a while) and th...

Yeah, Lamictal really did my skin for a number. As did Amitryptilline. I got off the Ami, but the Lamictal is the main ingredient of my med cocktail. I really wish psych meds were designed for fewer s...

I BP the hell out of them, but I imagine that's something your trying already.....
