35 Yo Female - Accutane Journey - Florida

I thought it would be a good idea to keep a journal of events that occur while taking this drug. I keep googling if what I experience is the same as others, so maybe this will help others.
Day 1 - no side effects - started applying sunscreen and aquaphor on lips for preventative measures; also applying it on my face and in my nostrils at night as recommended by my Derm.
Derm also stressed to take with high oil foods - peanut butter, eggs, avocado, etc.
On period, currently have 4 cystic pimples for over a week and a few regular pimples
Day 2 - sore butt muscles on both sides - feels like I climbed a ton of stairs - they feel super tight like they need a good stretch, but I hadn't done any exercise that is out of the ordinary.
Day 3 - slight eye irritation in left eye and migraine - i do get migraines on a semi frequent basis; hands feel extremely dry - aquaphor on hands.
Day 4 - muscles feel normal; lips and eyes feel dry - increased frequency of aquaphor application on lips and started carrying artificial tears; small pimples gone; migraine finally lifted; hands still really dry
Day 5 - reduced amount of aquaphor at night because my face started feeling even more oily 24/7 - didn't think that was possible. 3 new cystic pimples, the original 4 - 3 smaller and 1 really inflamed and fluid filled (normally takes 1-2 months to not hurt); hands feeling norma
Day 6 - no change
Day 7 - other than existing acne, my skin texture is really nice. I feel it looks younger and healthier.
Day 8 - no change
Day 9 - while working out on treadmill - hip/butt pain after 40 minutes
Noticed drier skin on face - increased amount of aquaphor applied at night
External vagina dryness - itching - applied aquaphor.

Day 10 still have vaginal itching ... It feels like a razor burn, aquaphor seemed so thick, decided to try coconut oil; skin on face is a little red/pink on my cheeks even though I have not been out in sun and I wear 50 SPF for my everyday get out the door routine and reapply when I have to go outside just to run errands.
Day 11 on the treadmill for over an hour and no pain in hips ???? hopefully can continue to do treadmill three days a week. I am taking fish oil supplements and vitamin B
Day 12 coconut oil worked so nice; now my scalp is super itchy and have noticed more hair shedding - very concerned about what I've read about people having lost half their hair as mine isn't very thick to begin with
Day 13 scalp is itchy but also tender if I touch hair; scalp is started to flake- which I've never experienced; massaged coconut oil on scalp and left on overnight
Day 14 washed coconut oil out, used Tgel shampoo - not the most pleasant smelling, argon oil conditioner
Day 15 scalp feels so much better and since its dry don't need to wash it. Pre-Accutane would have to shampoo hair at least once a day because of how oily it would get
Day 16 another no pain workout; I think my skin is doing better. Just rinsing hair with water (no shampoo) and conditioning.
Day 17 still feel like I am shedding more than normal, but scalp still feels better
Day 18 another no pain workout. Woke up feeling like I have a UTI- took AZO cranberry pills and will schedule dr appt next week if progresses through weekend. I drink between 50-70 ounces of water every day so I don't know if I need to increase water intake or because I increased I just need to go more often.
Day 19 got my hair done and had deep conditioning- did ombré highlights but didn't get roots done to prevent scalp irritation. Still feels like UTI but not during the entire day, only in the morning. After doing some research I don't believe I have a UTI, if it's like my other side effects it'll go away in a few days hopefully.
Day 20 don't feel like UTI anymore still taking cranberry pills. Lips are super dry even though I use aquaphor all day - will try other options - coconut oil perhaps. Less hair shedding today - looks like my normal shedding. I have increased dryness around my mouth and chin even with aquaphor mask at night - I can't imagine how much worse it would be without using aquaphor as a mask.

Overall, I am happy with my results and the side effects are manageable. After the first 30 days, I will probably keep a less detailed journal of my daily encounters.

21 Distance vision seems to be declining when I'm indoors, but outside I'm fine. Maybe it has more to do with reading then looking up. And here come the blackheads, read about others' experience and was expecting it, but there are so many on and around my nose. I can feel them all as I wash my face and apply moisturizer.
22 No problems with treadmill over an hour.
23 few small pimples forming - chin and above lip. No problems with treadmill over an hour.
23 treadmill no problems. Black heads are improving.
25 chin pimples gone, one above lip I scratched and accidentally made skin peel - oops. Orange Theory workout increased heart rate - it was my first session; felt fine and got a great workout.
26 pimple on forehead forming
27 left eye irritation - increased eye drops for the day
28 nothing to report
29 Hip feels out of place, but I don't think it's related to Accutane. Started menstrual cycle, slight cramps. Orange Theory workout - no problems.
30 Orange Theory workout - no problems. Just dry lips and face with minor pimples resolving - one above lip is taking longer to heal.

My skin on my face and arms is noticeably drier so have increased applying lotion/moisturizer throughout the day.
New favorite sunscreen: Cotz flawless complexion - the healthier sunscreen - soothing mineral complex non-comedogenic moisturizing SPF 50
This one doesn't burn, and my face feels moisturized without looking like an oil slick, like some moisturizers with SPF.

Any ideas about what to do with hair products? I workout almost daily and my hair gets soaked with sweat. Not sure if shampooing daily is overkill on my scalp, and I should switch to just rinsing with water or conditioning. I am currently trying Renpure's cleansing conditioner - not sure how I feel about this product yet. Twice a week I use Hask Monoi coconut oil shampoo, I love the smell and feel of my hair afterwards. Neither product irritate my scalp. Once a week I massage my scalp with organic virgin coconut oil.

Diet - so research says that you need to take Accutane with a meal that's high in fats - 20 grams. Do I really need to eat 20 grams of fat twice a day to have this medicine absorb properly?!? I am 5'2" and weigh 120 pounds, this amount of fat seems like a lot to have twice a day, everyday. I've been trying to eat good fats - avocados, eggs, fish, nuts. I've been logging my meals in the myfitnesspal app - I love how I can find the nutritional value of all my foods and try to balance my macros.

One month down!!!! It's so nice to have small pimples that go away within a few days, versus the ones I normally got would take a couple months to go away (and still leave a mark). I feel much more confident with going out with my bare face!
