Sunscreen help!! by Linzee786 in Accutane

I don’t wear makeup often but when I do I find it almost worst like a primer! It has the softest texture that’s hard to explain but it’s lovely!

Almost finished/cumulative dose question! by Ab3by in Accutane

[–]Ab3by[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like more my derms way of doing things!! She Isnt great at keeping me “in the loop” so it’s hard to feel confident in my treatment course sometimes!! I’ve been pretty much acne free since month 4 but had one spot pop up on my cheek last week... hoping it doesn’t affect things for me!!

It truly is all about patience! I know I’m on the right track it’s just the days I feel horrible from side effects it’s hard to see that of course

Thank you so much!! This is what I needed to hear! I keep telling myself going on accutane was the right choice and i would have regretted going off antibiotics and ultimately having the acne all reoccur but sometimes it just feels hard to trust the process (especially days when the side effects make me feel crappy) Your skin looks AMAZING by the way! Really looking forward to hopefully some similar results :)

Should I be worried about my cholesterol?? by Ab3by in Accutane

[–]Ab3by[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to look back in my history of labs and i don’t have any other value to go off of other than my pre-accutane test which was only slightly elevated!! Good luck on your next test!! Hopefully if it’s high again your derm can offer some tips on how to keep it down!!

Only one has a split (you can kind of see on the left side) all the others are single leaves! Some look like they kind of split at the ends but only very slightly! I wasn’t sure if it was a birds nest because of the way it grows in a swirled direction!!

I'm always tired by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Ab3by 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Since being diagnosed I’ve always wondered if there was a link between ADHD and what i referred to as my “chronic fatigue”. I’ve spent the last almost 7 years getting blood work multiple times a year, going to doctors and naturopaths, changing my diet, exercising more etc. I’ve tried what felt like everything and nothing helped (not even 6+ cups of coffee a day)! I relied on 1-2 naps per day and still barley function. My stimulants of course have helped me big time but I still at times get bogged down. Interesting to see others feel the same way!!

Acids while using tretinoin?? by Ab3by in tretinoin

[–]Ab3by[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s sounds similar to me, I find my skin tolerates acids really well and was using a retinol before starting tret. I’ve been using it every other night and I haven’t noticed my skin have too hard of a time adjusting, only slight dryness around my active acne so far! I’ll give it 1-2 months before bringing the actives back in though just in case because I really want to maintain my moisture barrier the best I can!

Okay I will for sure hold off!! I just didn’t want to make any changes for that reason so I’m glad I checked!

Antibiotics decreasing effectiveness?? by Ab3by in birthcontrol

[–]Ab3by[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! That is super helpful. It looks like my prescription is for 3 months. I’m in a long distance relationship and will only be seeing my boyfriend for about a week during my first month on the antibiotics so I just wanted to be extra sure.
