Well, it's a been about a month since I last posted. I've taken update pictures but just haven't taken the time to login and post them. Since week 12, I haven't really seen much of a difference honestly.
No new breakouts, still just that one on the right side of my chin. It's gone down considerably, but still there. The hard scar on my cheek seems to be going away some too.
On my last appointment, she said this is the month I should see a considerable difference. I go back in next Tuesday for my 4 month appointment. That Friday, November 28 will be the 16 week mark. I can't say that I've seen a major difference from month 3 to month 4.
She did warn me in the last appointment that for 6 months to a year after stopping, I can't do anything to my face like waxing, facials etc. wahhh, The skin will still be very sensitive and can cause scarring.
I just worry about the redness that's still there. I don't see that going away anytime soon. Maybe I just need sun on my face with no makeup and it will fade away eventually.
Side effects-wise. My lips are crazy dry and my nose is super dry. Its bloody every morning and the skin peels off from the the inside throughout the day. My back and hips are still bad. My immune system is pretty low too. Working out with my joints hasn't been easy. I stretch a lot which has helped some. I didn't realize how tight my hips were until I (use your imagine) tried to climb on top of my man friend and hada very difficult time doing that, and then one I did, I couldn't actually move!
Anyway, I will FOR REAL post pictures next week after my appointment.

12 weeks
Sorry for the last post and missing a week. Man, to have a life, geez! haha.
I went to NYC the weekend of October 3rd. Great weekend. Between the last time I posted and now, I have had extremely chapped lips as as well as a bloody nose. My nose constantly feels like there is a scab in there about to dislocate.
So as of my last blood work, my white blood cell count was low. Well, apparently, I've had a sinus infection basically since I got back from Vegas. I've mentioned I've beem sniffly and sneezy. Apparently, my allergies, led to a minor sinus infection which led me to a minor middle ear infection. (minor my ass). I get sinus infections occasionally, but wonder if the low count effected it more of setting in.
I woke up Sunday morning with my ear hurting. Thought maybe I'd slept on it weird. But all day it was bothering me. Woke up Monday with it bothering me still outside as well as in. I decided to go to a walk in and she said it looked like my sinuses were inflamed which caused fluid build up in my ear to cause the pain, My ear was the worst part! I haven't had an ear infection in over 20 years!
So she prescribed me a nasal spray to use once daily, an antibiotic to clear up the minor infection and ear drops for the pain. I made sure nothing interacted poorly with the accutane with practitioner as well as the pharmacist.
Anyway. my lips have been super chapped, as well as inside my nose. I've had a bloody nose almost every day for the past 2 weeks. I've been putting moisturizer up there, and it burns at first, but definitely helps. The lethargy is still at an all time high. I just have no energy whatsoever. The joint aches have remained, but not gotten any worse, so that's OK I guess.
I've got these little extra dry tiny spots on my face. Wouldn't even be able to get them in a picture they're so small. There are two on my forehead, one on the tip of my nose, one on my ear lobe, and one on my left cheek. They're smaller than a pencil eraser. They end up coming off, and I moisturize, but they come right back the next day in the same spot.
I'm now half way though my cycle! I haven't seen many changes in the past month or so, but nothing else new has come up, so now I guess I just wait for this monster on my chin to go away and the redness to subside eventually. I wonder if after my course, if any sort of peels will get rid of the red blotchy scars. Anyone else know?
Her are my update pictures! Week 12, signing out!
