40 mg. of Accutane

This post is kind of late.  My pictures were taken at the month marker it was just hard for me to find a time to sit down and blog about my 40 mg. experience of Accutane. 

40 mg kicked my butt!  That is the nicest thing I can say about this increase of the medicine.  I suffered from fatigue, skin rashes, my skin also burns if certain perfumed items touch it, also cleaning products I now need to wear rubber gloves (I've never had sensitive skin before so it annoys me quite a bit), and joint/neck and back pain.  I am slowly seeing progress.  I am still struggling with my chest, back and the area on my neck right below my chin.  I also get cut really easily. 

I am trying not to get discouraged and my hope is to be able to wear a tube top this summer I know it may seem shallow but that is my goal. (I couldn't wear any of my cute ones last summer because my back was too badly broken out and I was embarassed).  I haven't seen huge progress but I have seen steady progress.  I just have to get it in my head that this is not an over night fix this is something that needs a little more time.  My Dr. says I should see major progress at 80 mg.  and I hope he is correct.  I am currently starting my 60 and my appointment to see if I move up to 80 is April 5th.  I'm more than ready for it.  I'm ready to see some major progress.

Hopefully every month continues to get better!
