2 weeks has gone by.

Either time is flying or its moving soooooo slow. after day 3 of taking accutane i stopped getting those side effects, no more sore joints and back aches. Instead i started getting chapped lips within the week and a half. MY GOODNESSSSSSSS one thing i can tell you on this journey is to NEVER PEEL YOUR LIPS. I peeled it several days ago and my lips felt like hell. It was so raw and every time i eat something spicy it would sting the [RS bleep] out of my lips. If anything exfoliate your lips or rub them in hot steamy water, or right after you get out of the showers. NEVER PEEL. I learned the hard way. The next morning my lips were soooo puffy it was scary.

I use burts bee or Kiehls lip balm #1 in mango everyday.

Anywho im off of prednisone and im starting to flare up a bit. Some white puss here and there too.

about Retin-Amicro, i meant to say i used it for a month, applied it every night before bed.

side effect full in affect

After 4 hours of taking it I started to feel the side effect. First came the joint pain on the left side of my hip then an hour after my lower back felt really tight and it started to ache. My eyes once in a while would become dry but all I had to do was blink a lot to get it moist again. When it came to bed time omfg i felt pretty miserable. Because of my back ache I was tossing and turning like crazy. Putting pillows under the back and what not. I could not sleep at all. I would wake up at least 10x during the night. And if I heard tv noise or my family talking it really irritated me but not to a point where I would tell them to shut it. Take prednisone in the morning because my doctor said that is whats causing me not to sleep. Overall these side effects are tolerable, and with anything Day 1 is always the hardest. I want my face to clear up so bad so i am willing to go through these phases. Also drink lots of water. I'm trying to drink a gallon a day.
