Cheers bro,   The anti milarials don't actually give any immunosupression, they are more immunomodulating/anti inflammatory. They only become immuno supressive if you suffer certain side effects ...

I said i would retire from the boards but i feel i should continue posting in this thread, it is normally pretty constructive.   Anyway ANA negative doesn't suprise me. What we have is not lupus....

1_fighter   I'm glad to hear it! Hopefully that works out man as it is a much better solution than continuing on with accutane indefinitely.

Yeah but you're gonna most likely have to take it for longer than Accutane   Best option would be not taking anything actually   If you don't have post accutane sides then you have no busi...

Halfpipe,   Taking Vitamin D3 shouldn't have a negative effect on anything if that is your concern. Just make sure you get a good brand because the quality can vary. Personally I take Carlson L...

Halfpipe,   The reason is probably due to the eye toxicity, but if you do your research on it you will see that its not as dangerous as you would think. The eye toxicity doesn't appear over nigh...
