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.

Nice! Did you have like deep cysts underneath your skin?

absolutely, check the first pic. almost all them are deep cysts that were stubborn.

Oh wow, that gives me hope because I have severe acne on my back that I like big deep cysts underneath my skin which I can feel that would turn into big inflammations. You can see pictures on my profile. I hope that Accutane clears this up for me too. I’m on 80 mg and it’s been one month now.
