Well, I'm sure they wouldnt give it to me because I have a history of
some chronic fatigue (never could pinpoint the cause) and some
depression, not to mention a very sensitive gastrointestinal system.
So They probably would say NO WAY JOSE, but the idea is tempting to
say the least. Believe me, if I didnt have the fear of my other health
probs worsening permanently from Accutane (temporarily I could handle
if it mean clear skin for years), I'd be on it right now!
I also have moderate acne, by no means severe, but enough to make me
furious at all the time and energy I waste running around trying
ointments and worrying about my skin and watching for new pimples to
form.
I was curious about something though; I notice that some people claim
that after a course of Accutane, they are clear for years. Others say
the acne returned soon after stopping the Accutane.
Does anyone know the percentage of people who stay cleared for very
long periods of time after their Accutane course versus those whose
acne relapses soon after the Accutane course? Do people with severe
acne tend to fall into one category, and do people with moderate acne
tend to fall into another? |

From that first paragraph, I think it would be worth trying a
ketogenic diet such as Atkins.
Fatigue, depression can be symptoms of hyperglycemia and/or blodd
sugar level swings. The capper is the gastro problems, often caused by
an overgrowth of yeast fed by carbohydrates. I'd guess that you would
feel much better on a keto diet after a couple of weeks.

...."So They probably would say NO WAY JOSE..."
I initially went to a plastic surgeon out of complete desperation. He told
me that I couldn't get laser resurfacing while I was still breaking out. He
recommended Accutane to me and said that it worked wonders for his daughter.
I had to go to 3 derms before I found one that would give it to me. I simply
told them-- if they didn't want my money, I would find someone who would! I
finally found a derm that, not only gave it to me, but manipulated the
insurance so that it would cover it. I got all my medicine for 15$ a month
as opposed to 350$ a month. If you have to go to every one in your state
it's worth it. >> Stay informed about: Screw it! I want Accutane! |

Lauksna, i'm still siked for you, if not a little envious.. i'm still
convinced we have almost the exact same skin type..are basically the same
age..and took accutane at roughly the same time... but it seems you had
better results on the long term.. i wonder if accutane has better long term
results in females?
deuce.
