So awesome you don't have to wear foundation! Sounds like everything is going fantastic! I understand the body soreness. I mainly have it if I'm sitting and then get up. I walk like I'm 80 for a few ...

Checking back in! I'm in my 5th month. I haven't had a breakout in about a month. All my old spots are healing and I'm finally feeling relived! The 60 mgs seems to be okay for me. I go back to the doc...

I think the dr and I have agreed that an extra month, at least, will be necessary. I'm really making progress now. Nothing new in a few weeks and just a few spots healing. I'm sure because I said that...

I got my labs and they aren't crazy high or anything. My glucose is over by 2 points, my alt by 10, and my Triyglicerides 270ish.

I wonder the same thing! I only have 2 months left I don't see how slightly elevated numbers would hurt for a short time. All my past blood work was good so it's obviously temporary. Oh well, it is wh...

  Ugh my tryglicerides, glucose and ALT (liver function) results were all elevated. The doctor wants me to go down to 60 mg a day. However, we know from earlier drama that my insurance does...

The first one is the bad side, the second one is the better side. Lots of hyper pigmentation but no actives, same with my nose and forehead.

Just got back from my Dr. appt. I'm starting my 5th month! I can't believe it! I'm still not clear, but it's getting better. The doctor was very pleased I suggested going to 80 mg. She thinks the othe...

You look magnificent!!!! I'm so happy for you and you got to finish early!!!! Enjoy that glorious skin because lord knows you deserve it after the Tane!

That ProTopic sounds interesting! I don't recommend lancing, but these had been there forever and they were dark purple. Well now I know that was blood just pooled there I guess!

Insurance companies are the worst. I don't know how some of those policy writers sleep at night. This is just acne medication I can't imagine fighting for life saving treatment!!! I've been slacking ...

I'm noticing that if I don't lance a cyst, not a pimple, but the ones that bubble up, they turn into blood blisters under the skin. I've eventually lanced about 3 and drained them of a lot of blood! A...

Ok was on 40 mg daily for 3 months, now I'm on week 3 of 80 mg and I have my first signs of dryness! I'm getting that split in the corner of my mouth. It's really painful! Time to pull out all of the ...

I am so close I can feel it Lol just a little bit longer Rachel, how in the heck did you get so lucky?! My lips hate me, seriously if they could disown me, they probably would! Were you ever on 60mgs...

I'm in month 4 now and my lips have still not gotten dry! It's insane. I'm still breaking out quite a bit. I was bumped up to 80 mg 3 weeks ago and it's better, but I have three spots right now. I can...

Blah I shouldn't have said I was breakout free for a week. A new spot has popped up in the middle of my cheek.

Oh no! I'm still in treatment so I have no advice, but I wouldn't like that either. I would call the derm to see what they say about it.

I've been on 80 mg for about 12 days and my skin is responding well. I haven't had a new spot in days and the rest are healing. I hope this continues! My bloodwork came back and my triglycerides dropp...

Progress pics Day 103 I think. .html?sort=3&o=2 This is the day I started 80 mg so you can see a few inflamed cysts and now all those spots healed and the inflammation isn't as bad.

The dr said I might have an IB again, but I've never stopped breaking out so I don't know how I would know if it's IB or not. So far so good with 80 mg. I'm so nervous about being taken off 80! I ha...

Did you get your script for 80mg pills? I DID!!!! It was a relatively easy month. They were out and had to order them but I got them the next day. I've been on 80mg for 5 days and few cysts that hav...

I wanted to document my symptoms, and lack of symptoms, after 3 months on 40 mg a day. Slightly dry eyes at night Tons of breakouts. Nonstop IB. Completely clear back and KP on arms is MUCH better. ...

Sounds like you have a good plan! I can't believe we are in our 4th month!!!!
