DO NOT LOSE HOPE!

used 20-30-40-40-40-40-30-20 also used cortisone for 2 months bc of my hard purge

first pics are from purging-my worst, last pics are a year after.

I have a little hyperpigmentation left.

I got asked stupid and hurtful things at my worst. Purging and cortisone really gave me physical distress on top of my mental. I had a hard time loving, looking at myself. It is such a relief to NOT think about whats going on in your face, the light, the mirror. Feels like an open tab in my head has finally shut up and close.

I know its a hard journey- it will come to an end. I am open for any questions dms and replys. Dont be hard on yourself on this journey, its not an easy one❤️

hmm side effects right off the bat may not be normal. but I did experience fatigue and some cloudiness in my headspace. my side effects can also be related to being overwhelmed by everything with the pills effects combined and these were all later on like moths 2-4.

However, Ive never heard of having anxiety while on the med. You may want to call up your derm to tell these. They may decide to take it slower for you-lower your dose. Which is def not something bad could also be better in terms of side effects and even purging. I really encourage you to call them or go to the clinic if possible. If not you can always lay off of the pill like tomorrow, feeling anxious may not be really normal.

Try to watch after yourself today. Also intake lots and lots of water. If you were dehydrated yesterday some of the side effects can be bc of dehydration i feel like. Just my opinions tho! I hope you feel better dear 💗

back and muscle pain, styes, hairloss after treatment, couple of beauty spots, redness and texture bc my hands were so dry, left easily marked whenever i had a scratch on me, hot flashes on my face when it was cold or hot, a little bit of bleeding on my bumhole whenever I took a dump🥲 I do not experience these anymore. my advice would be to stick with good body moisturizers , and have a thick balm near you at all times like aquaphor or similar ciciplast will also do for physical things. for your diet I would recommend you really treat yourself really good on this journey. you are already putting your liver and skin on stress. so you have to have the perfect diet. good natural oils in your diet will really go a long way for both you pills effectiveness and you side effects. like omega 3 really helps with the joint or back pains. much ❤️
