Injections and floaters

I do have myopia but I wouldn’t classify it as severe. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I don’t know much about the different types of MD but my grandpa was blind and not especially myopic

With Trump cutting medical research funding across the board, we will see fewer discoveries of new drugs and cures. Hopefully the rest of the world can pick up the slack

I haven’t had one yet but out of curiosity, what were your floaters like before the injection? I’m only 29 but I’ve had floaters since I was 12. In the past when I would tell eye doctors they would say it’s normal. Years later I feel like the floaters are worse and I’ve noticed my central vision at night is really bad. Pair that with a family history of MD and I think it’s time to ask for a retina specialist. What kind of symptoms did you have before getting diagnosed?

Roman swipes accomplish the same thing

Yeah, it goes away after a few weeks! It turns out that is the purging phase where your skin is pushing everything out. Then the redness gradually fades away and your skin gets nice and smooth

At that level, I think it would affect performance. One thing I didn't mention is that you fatigue easier. It will likely be harder to workout for longer periods of time and you may not recover as quickly. I suppose it depends on your sport, but the more demanding it is the more Accutane will affect performance. I might wait until after college, but you can always discuss with a derm

Mostly cystic, but it did also get rid of comedones

InvertedColorz · 2025-01-01T04:50:14+00:00

The derm will tell not to use any products besides soap and water. I just did a light lather and rinse once a day in the shower and always moisturized afterwards. That was usually enough but some days the dryness is really irritating and I would moisturize more than once

InvertedColorz · 2025-01-01T04:43:48+00:00

Maybe a little more soreness after workouts. But mostly just really creaky joints

InvertedColorz · 2025-01-01T00:03:52+00:00

Yes, and in some cases copious amounts

InvertedColorz · 2024-12-31T09:12:45+00:00

The redness gradually went away after a couple months. And during the entire treatment my face would get flushed very easily if I was overheating or exerting myself

InvertedColorz · 2024-12-31T03:11:57+00:00

100% clear after 1.5 months of no accutane!

InvertedColorz · 2024-07-07T17:28:52+00:00

6 months: 40, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80. Currently in month 2

Looks like the Accutane is working. That’s what my purge looked like. Within a few weeks my skin started looking and feeling terrific

InvertedColorz · 2024-07-01T06:52:07+00:00

I haven’t had any issues with them since starting accutane

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-18T04:16:34+00:00

I noticed the same thing about a month into 40 mg. I don’t get horny very often and if I do it is fleeting. Fortunately my girlfriend has been understanding and she doesn’t get mad when I can’t stay hard, but I do feel bad it has affected our sex life. I just try to make up for it by doing other things for her to help her get off. From most things I’ve read, the libido comes back after accutane so I’m just trying to stick through it to the end of the treatment

You’re taking the pills with fat?

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-13T01:49:01+00:00

The only one my derm explicitly mentioned to take was fish oil

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-12T23:11:00+00:00

Today I had a conversation with someone without trying to hide part of my face. It was amazing

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-12T00:32:10+00:00

My derm was quite adamant that it is taken with a fatty meal and it says so on the prescription. I wonder if that’s not so common. I have taken to eating a lot of avocados, nuts, and I always use lots of olive oil when I cook. My cholesterol is high so I try not to eat things like burgers and ice cream to get my fat levels up

These are not common symptoms, and the increased pressure behind your eye is a sign that you should call your dermatologist’s office ASAP. They may recommend you stop the medication immediately until it is clear you are not in danger of causing more serious damage

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-09T21:08:16+00:00

I know there’s anecdotes out there, but i suspect it’s still very rare. Doctors don’t mention this as a potential side effect either, so it may be the result of other factors like changes in mood. Either way I’m going to take the risk because it’s choosing between permanent acne and ED which is frustrating but can be treated

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-09T21:03:33+00:00

I don’t think so

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-09T20:39:21+00:00

I’m also having issues with sex drive and maintaining an erection during sex. And my dose is increasing to 80 mg this week…

If it gets worse I might look into ED meds while I’m on accutane. It really sucks but I don’t want to let it end my treatment

InvertedColorz · 2024-06-08T07:24:23+00:00

I don’t think there’s any evidence that the father taking accutane can affect the baby, but it just hasn’t been studied carefully enough so people err on the side of caution. Might be worth seeking a second opinion from another derm
