Hi all
Am only a few days away (I hope) from starting my first course of Roaccutane, need to get the all clear from my blood tests. I’m a 24 year old female stuffing THE worst acne of my life. I always used to get the odd spot and previously had taken dianette whic cleared it up. But this latest bout has been extremely soul destroying, have tried all the usual stuff such as Zineryt (which for my skin was dire!) and have been on antibiotics and Cilest simultaneously for past 7 months, although I have seen some improvement it is all still there and I still get horrible spots showing up at times you just dont need it.
I had put off seeing the derm as I had read lots of articles about this type of treatment and to be honest it scared me to boot I have have type 1 diabetes - I’m sure there are lots of people who have both but I’d be really interested in hearing your stories likewise I’d be really interested in hearing anyone’s hints and tips especially for first timers like me.
So far this site has been really helpful and has spurred me on to write my own diary I will take some pics too, I still have huge reservations about the treatment mainly due to the side effects but I’m thinking it will be worth it for good skin, at least something better that what I’ve got now.
I’d be interested to know whether a dance class at the gym is considered ‘intensive exercise’ as I’d really like to keep doing some form of excercise - any thoughts?
