Hey everyone,
Well, I collected my final stash of Tane today, and it felt pretty momentous! I only have 3 weeks left but she says I might as well take the whole 4 weeks worth. I then have to go back for a penultimate appointment to have a blood test and then another 5 weeks later it’s my final pregnancy test and then I should be free!!!
My skin is OK. Still no NEW spots but as I say every week I am left with these scabs that I’m constantly picking at which means my skin doesn’t look too good! The derm looked and me, exasperated, and said ‘you must stop picking’, I agreed. It’s the generating my words of agreement into a reaction that I struggle with, I pick like there is no tomorrow and my skin is suffering for it. She also pointed out that these marks/scabs are taking such a long time to heal (aside from the picking bit) because of the Roaccutane. I’d heard on here that it slows up the healing process but I’m really finding it towards the end of my treatment.
I thought I had escaped the dreaded cracks in the corner of my mouth but again, as my treatment nears to an end I’ve been plagued with cracks and cold sores at both sides! Painful, especially when I get up in the morning and take my first mouthful of breakfast!
I feel a little run-down actually. It’s almost like Roaccutane gradually knocks your immune system or something! Been ready to come off it for ages so I’m really glad I’m at the last hurdle…
Hope it’s going well for everyone 
Nina, x
No, it’s not that bad, but i wish it would just hurry up and heal! Not long now!
