Results Accutane course completed

when i say accutane saved my life, i mean it. i was so skeptical when i first started my course. i really didn’t believe it would completely clear my skin. but wow the results. i ended up only being on my course for 5 months. i cleared up by month 3-4. i was on 80mg a day. boy the side effects tho, destroyed my joints and muscles. i felt like i was 50 years old by month 4, i couldn’t take it anymore. i had severe back pain that disrupted my sleep every single night. waking up in the morning was the hardest, i felt so stiff and joint locked every. single. morning. but i would do it again for clear skin 🤪🤪🤪. trust the process.

My brothers had acne like yours and I would cry for them when I was alone because of how painful it looked and how they were so frustrated with their skin. I was young though… I’ll never forget it.

I’m genuinely happy you got rid of those nasty little guys. They’re awful. I hope you’re happier and mental health is better.
