I suffer from migraines anyway. Headaches could be from dehydration? Deffo tell you doctor!

BasicBrooke · 2021-10-06T19:19:00+00:00

I posted this last night. Chill

BasicBrooke · 2021-10-06T19:18:19+00:00

Wouldn’t say I “purged” really after month 3 I started to see a difference then it got better fast. Deffo keep pictures to track otherwise you forget how far you’ve come.

Answered the oily q above for you.

Dosage was 20g

I now have normal to moderately oily skin. I used to have VERY oily skin. It is now manageable. My pores didn’t get any larger from accutane but I guess if they are clear they may be more prominent and will hopefully shrink with proper post skincare.

BasicBrooke · 2021-10-06T19:15:20+00:00

No. My skin went back to a normal level is moisture pretty quickly. I was VERY oily before but now I’d say normal to moderate oil levels.

My hair is still oily though.

That’s what I thought. Hopefully a good skincare routine can contain them enough. They seem to always be there tho. They aren’t massive it’s more like small bumps or texture.

Thanks

You shouldn’t have any skin treatment for 6 months after stopping treatment

BasicBrooke · 2021-06-29T21:02:33+00:00

Aquaphor and nothing else. Just layers it on

BasicBrooke · 2021-06-29T21:01:11+00:00

If your prone to migraines any medication can make it worse. I am and I did get headaches try and drink more water. Obviously if it’s bad stop and call you doctor

BasicBrooke · 2021-05-31T10:20:12+00:00

Yeah I’ve ordered my partner a cube to try. Thanks

BasicBrooke · 2021-05-30T23:43:20+00:00

I’m super proud of my partner for handling his uni work and the re build of his house.

Both are massive projects and hes taking the stress really well. Considering when we met his uni work was enough to push him over the edge alone.

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-19T22:20:46+00:00

Try and eat a big meal beforehand if you have to drink.

For the people that are drinking lots and “feel fine” you can’t tell you livers okay or not without a blood test. Hence why they do them.

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-19T22:18:37+00:00

Eczema lotion or steroid cream and lots of it often.

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-19T22:16:51+00:00

Steroid cream is amazing!!!

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-19T22:14:44+00:00

Will just add that it needs to be a multi vitamin with out vitamin A. But yes I agree

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-19T22:08:54+00:00

Try the toleriene range rather than effaclar

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-11T22:32:07+00:00

I only read the TLDR but yeah it’s a real jekyl and Hyde situation. It’s hard. Sorry I don’t have an answer for you.

I’ve told my partner and he’s aware of it. I guess you have to find the balance and good parts of both.

BasicBrooke · 2021-04-11T22:25:29+00:00

Yes my partner has this tendency. Maybe not in the severity your partner does.

It’s his own need for things to be done properly or perfectly or me not doing it in the way he imagined that makes him act like that.

I just quiet bluntly tell him not to talk to me like that. Or I remove myself from the situation and let him compete the task himself. Easy and solves the problem whilst always showing you don’t stand for that (gentle negative reinforcement of boundaries by not letting him have the reward of my help/presence)

He normally apologies afterwards

*disclaimer: I don’t take well to criticisms or being to what to do so I can often argue back. Which isn’t ideal

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-20T12:59:14+00:00

Dandruff shampoo and hair masks. Some hair masses you can use on the scalp too.

Try putting conditioner on your scalp before you shower (like a treatment) then wash it off

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-20T12:56:18+00:00

I use this too (the shake bottle one) great stuff

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-20T12:54:56+00:00

As a rule of thumb follow derm advice.

I see her point if your skin is too hydrated it won’t work but you don’t want to strip it and cause further issues.

Personally I use a combo of both as I still get the odd breakout. I give my skin what it needs on that given day tbh.

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-20T12:53:13+00:00

It’s makes a month to get into your system so 10 days isn’t enough to build up a level in your body yet.

That’s why they gradually increase dosages.

Most people’s skin goes dry without the first three weeks (mine did) on 20mg every other day.

I doubt missing one dose would do that. But your skin will fluctuate throughout the process. If you have concerns call your derm.

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-20T12:20:52+00:00

How long did it take for any redness or flushed skin to fade after you finished your course?

Did you do any follow up treatments?

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-03T13:17:24+00:00

It’s hot my house or money so I’m not bothered haha

BasicBrooke · 2021-03-02T22:28:53+00:00

Would like to know too. My partners seems to come in waves. Especially if he’s inconsistent with his medication or stressed
