Posted in Roaccutane Diaries

been a few weeks since i posted cos not a lot was going on to be honest.  my skin is exactly as it was a month ago.  well, apart from the morning last week when i awoke to find 6, yes 6! new pustules on my chest.  i’d not had anything new pop up there since starting roac.  really knocked me as i was going out that night, (i’ve learned to live with the hangovers).  some blackheads have gone but plenty more are still very much there.

the side effects are properly giving me a kicking just now, i’m permanently exhausted and the back/neck/leg ache is beyond words at times.  my 60 year old mum finds it highly amusing that i move like an old lady while she skips around!  i refuse to be beat though.  and though my skin is several counties away from being totally clear, it’s still better than in living memory and has helped my confidence no end.  to the extent i find myself in a new relationship.  ; )  i guess i wasn’t imagining the impulse ad effect i was having the other week!

lol. If it makes you feel any better, i’m 23 and move around sometimes like i’m 50 years older! Oh the love-hate relationship of Roacc :p!

Hi Old-bird! I’ve taken up making noises when I get out of a chair, and trying to get up after sitting on the floor is even more vocal. I’m 33 going on 83. People are constantly asking “What’s wrong with your legs?” I’m hoping this pain doesn’t stick around after finishing the treatment other wise I’ll have to get a stair-lift installed! It’s weird though, It’s only my back and my right leg causing problems, why not the left leg? :)

hi mandy,

so how is your skin doing now? all boils gone for good? i’m so clear i reckon the derm will take me off roac in a month. she did say she wouldn’t put me on it for more than 12 weeks initially unless she really had to. i’ll find out on thursday.*gulp*

had to laugh at my friend the other night. (the one who disapproved of roac) she’s having an ALMIGHTY pre-menstrual break out all over the place. looks like i used to. she now says that if she had to put up with looking like that all the time she’d take the bloody pills even if they absolutely guaranteed she’d go loopy. so NOW she gets it!
