Week 9….

Was at dermatlogist last week. my dose has stayed at 60mg which I think is a bit pants as my acne hasn’t improved that much over the past 8 weeks.  I’m still struggling with tiredness, come lunch time I just want to sleep for the rest of the day.

Thankfully no more blood tests to be done unless derm decides to extend treatment time past 4 months….was a nightmare trying to get blood for the appointment this time. It took 2 nurses to even find a vein and then it took so long to get the blood that I almost fainted!!! That’s the first time a nurse has had difficulty getting blood from me, hopefully the last as I don’t think I’d cope if it happens again.

Weight wise, I’ve not lost as much this time but I think that’s due to I’ve toned up a lot and muscle weighs more than fat so I’m not complaining too much.

Well, until the next time…

Have you seriously not noticed a difference at all in the first 8 weeks? i start next week, and i think i have high expectations of roac, but i can only imagine me being hit with reality when i realise it takes a few months before it starts to work..

Sorry Gareth,
I have noticed a difference, but I’m still getting break outs occasionally. One side of my face is better than the other though. A lot of people are commenting on how good my skin is looking but we’re all our own worst critics…..
Be prepaired for a break out as it will happen in the first couple weeks. Hope this helps :)
