5 Months After Finishing…

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Hey all,
I thought I’d post as I haven’t updated in a good while.
I finished my tablets at the end of May and within 2 weeks I had a few spots under the surface and my skin was slightly oily again. I put this down to my skin readjusting and though its never been as nice [...]

6 Months In… The End

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Hey!
So I’ve just finished my month 6 and officially took my last tablets on Friday. Its a strange feeling. Half of me feels relieved that I actually have my skin (and confidence) back and the other half of me keeps thinking “how long will it last?” I keep looking in the mirror expecting to see [...]

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Hey all,
So the last time I went to see my derm he said he would keep me on for one more month which I was completely shocked at and he upped my dose from 40mg to 50mg. I went back to see him last week and to my surprise(!) he said he would keep me [...]

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Hey all,

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I had my 4 week appointment with my derm tonight and he said I seemed to be doing ok so I was pleased about that! He has prescribed me another months supply of 30mg and said he doesn’t agree with putting the dose up so it looks like I will be on 30mg till I [...]

Break Out Week 1?!

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Hey!
So my first week on 30mg is over today, but I’m a bit concerned I have had a break out already?! Every time I look in the mirror I seem to see a new spot on my face, and I seem to have a few in places I never get them like my legs and [...]
