I have been dealing with Acne since I hit my double digits. It got really bad when I got in highschool. I had cyst all over my face and neck line. My dermatologist put me on Bacterium or how ever you spell that and that helped tremendously. However the moment I quit taking it, it would reappear. My doctor finally suggested accutane when it was still around since its no longer called accutane. I was scared to do it then and put it off and just let my face go and figured I would grow out of it. Well I got terrible scarring from that all over my cheeks. Acne has been coming and going since then. No major outbreaks like when I was in highschool but the acne has never gone away. My face is always bright red too. So finally me and my dr decided we would give amnesteem a try. I just started yesterday and I took my pill at 7pm and then at 2am that night I woke up nauseous and I puked. I began to feel really hot and warm. After I threw up I felt fine and went back to bed. Called my dr and told him and they said they have never heard those symptoms before so he told me to eat my meal again tonight and take the medicine and to let him know in the AM if anything happens. So that's what I did. I also ate Tuna fish and mac and cheese (gross i know) when I took my first dosage, so we are thinking that did not mix well with the meds. He told me to take the pill with a fatty meal, (pizza, fried chicken) LOL I try to stay away from the junk food but iv also been googling alternative fatty foods to eat with the pill so it can asborb into my system. He told me that if I dont eat anything with fat then the medicine may not work properly. If eating pizza and chicken means getting my skin clear I will do it! Iv been drinking lots of water also. And gatorade in between to replace the electrolytes. I am using aquaphor lip balm and I bought palmers moisturizing body oil for when I get out of the shower. It helps with the dry skin. I've always done this but now I am doubling up to avoid cracked dry skin. I will keep you all updated as I go along with my journey :)
