Both IBS pain and other pain you might need to manage (joint, muscular, headache, menstrual cramps etc)?
I do use paracetamol, it works well for headache/migraine (especially combined with caffeine) but I don’t find it that great for IBS pains unless I use co-codamol (paracetamol with low dose codeine). Ibuprofen gives me IBS flare so I’ll use topical ibuprofen or diclofenac for joint or muscular pain if need be.
I’m really struggling with IBS cramping pain at the moment, but I’m preparing for a colonoscopy next week so need to avoid anything that that tends to constipation, so co-codamol is out, and the colonoscopy nurse advised against buscopan or loperamide as well, so I feel I’m kind of at the mercy of my intestines right now and it’s really not fun. Also eating very low fibre ahead of the scope so that’s not helping either.
So just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, on how pain relief drugs interact with your IBS, or any other non-drug pain management tips you might have!
Thanks :-)

Posting to see if anyone is in a similar position as me or knows anything about this. I have had chronic tailbone pain for about 2.5 years now. I had a scan and it says I have osteoarthritis but the doctor made it seem like that’s not what’s causing the pain. There was no fracture, it’s not broken. I did physical therapy for months and it didn’t work. They give me prednisone and I feel so great. They won’t give it to me more than 3 times a year though so I take diclofenac sodium 2x a day and it helps as well. They have been doing local steroid shots and the first one helped for 7 months. Went back 3 months ago to get another and now I’m in pain again. I’m sure they’ll send me back for another but I really wish I could figure this out for good instead of going back and forth. Other symptoms I have are frequent headaches that get better laying down, memory loss, fatigue that lasts through my ADHD meds. Some days I wake up and feel like I’ve gotten beat up. Some times my chest or ribs hurt. Sometimes hurts to breathe in. I have random finger, elbow, or knee “pain”. It’s not exactly pain. Just a constant dull achy annoying feeling. I’ve had problems where I can’t stand up too fast or I black out and I can’t hear anything. Same with putting my arms above my head. I can’t do that. Does anyone have any ideas??

TLDR: Watch this video to see how to make the perfect level of carbonation regardless of which SS model you have. This is not my video. And do you have any simple homemade recipes.
Last month I bought a SodaStream Genesis because the price was finally right (from Walmart on clearance for $29.99... It was $49.99 and used a $20 online coupon code and it was only available with the ship-to-store option.)
I read a ton of topics on this board and other websites about fizz and I've seen opinions noting that it will never have the same level of carbonation as store bought or fountain sparkling water or soda to people saying that they have been able to make the perfect carbonation. I tried all the tips and nothing seemed to work even though it has only been three weeks, I was feeling as though this was a great purchase but it would not measure up to bottled or fountain carbonation. Then I found this woman on YouTube and everything changed. The way she describes it, it is the sound we need to listen for in order to know when to let go of the carbonation button. I only had to press mine three times to get it to bubble like store bought bottles or fountain soda. The next time I try it, I'm going to try two times to see if that is good enough too.

I like plain sparkling water, but also used to buy Bubly, LaCroix and Aha regularly. To replace the latter, so far I've loved squeezing the juice of a clementine into my glass before pouring the sparkling water. I've also enjoyed buying frozen fruit and using the fruit for flavour and instead of ice cubes. I've also made a simple syrup with lime, ginger and honey to make ginger ale sparkling water.
I'd prefer not to spend money on purchased flavourings, does anyone have any other homemade recipes?

Hello from the Netherlands!
Love this sub and all the useful information and solidarity everyone is sharing. I am 6.5 weeks into severe (post-viral?) hives and angioedema on the daily (all over including face, palms and soles). Still on prednisone but trying to come off it. Taking fexofenadine and starting cyclosporine soon (providing I pass some tests at the hospital next week) because several types of antihistamines haven't really helped much so far. Insurance wont cover Xolair injections here until you have tried cyclosporine for a month. I'm seeing a dermatologist who is finally paying more attention! Hurrah. Had blood tests and the only thing it showed was a very high level of leukocytes. Liver and thyroid ok.
I see a lot of conflicting info about how long CIU can last. Seems likes it just really varies from months to years but some people seem to say most people will recover from it in 6-12 months or "within in a year". But I see many folks here talking YEARS and not months. Should I not get my hopes up that I'll be done with this by Xmas? Mine is likely post-viral as I had flu like symptoms including a fever just a few days before the hives showed up (for the first time in my life - I'm 45).
I've been taking supplements but don't notice any improvement from them: Quercetin, NAC, VitC, VitD, B Complex, Omega 3 and Bromelain.
I also have an "immune modulator" with "Tinofend" by Life Extension and Reservatrol (also by Life Extension) which is an anti-inflammatory but I haven't started these yet. Curios to know if anyone here has tried them?
For topical relief I have Clobetasol propionate cream which is apparently a super strong steriod but it doesn't do much for me. I am trying CBD cream and also Weleda Urtica Gel (Arnica and Nettle) which seem to help but sometimes I think it just feels nice to put *something* on the hives and it's not clear if it's the meds or the cream that is working.
Reading about menthol spray and cold blue gels with lidocaine here has been useful. I'll give that a go!

Here's my back this evening! (on 3 X 180mg fexofenadine and 17.5mg prednisone)

Topical Tretinoin with Accutane
I‘ve been on Accutane for around 4.5 Months now and it has gotten alot better and my Doctor gave me an extra Tretinoin 0.025% Gel that I should I apply during my 20mg Accutane phase. Now since I‘ve started (every 4 nights) applying Tretinoin my skin got very dry and peeling and I got more Acne than before.
Do you think it is normal to purge like this from Tretinoin when on Accutane or should I stop taking Tretinoin parallel to my Accutane?

Personal info: 28F. Skin type: dry, sensitive, acne-prone, rosacea. Sensitive to niacinamide. Skin tone: pale af. Climate: hot and humid (SC, USA).
Product info: Japanese, SPF 50+ PA+++, free of alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, and niacinamide. Truly a milky texture. Combination sunscreen (meaning both mineral and chemical filters).
Ingredient list: Cyclopentasiloxane, Water, Zinc Oxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, BG, Diethylhexyl Succinate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Hydrated Silica, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Lauroyl Lysine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Triethoxysilylethyl Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Hexyl Dimethicone, Methylparaben, EDTA-2Na, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Arginine, Bis-Ethylhexyl Hydroxydimethoxy Benzylmalonate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Acrylates Copolymer, CI 73360, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Talc, Ethanol, Iron Oxides, Tin Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Tocopherol, Mica
My experience with it: This is the best SPF I've ever tried! I've tried quite a few in my search of the perfect SPF, and nothing has been able to beat this. No white cast on me. I've never experienced pilling or any sort of irritation from it. It wears beautifully under makeup. Easy to blend as it is a truly milky texture. This is truly fragrance free - smells like nothing to me. Natural finish on me but I've read some people have a matte finish with it. I have used this since January of this year (2023).
Potential con: I've read some people anecdotally notice getting sun with this product. I haven't noticed this, but I honestly avoid the sun as much as possible. I'd love to hear from those who experience this!
A true con: the wimpy size of the bottle. 40 mL is so small! Alas, I'll continue to repurchase. The price is affordable for me (~$11 a bottle).
Another SPF I also love: Canmake Mermaid Skin UV Gel SPF 50+ PA++++.

Here's some more skincare for y'all
I am someone who is strictly fragrance-free, which has been super difficult because I also have other ingredient preferences such as: cruelty-free, isopropyl alcohol-free, fragrance-free (including essential oils/ fragrant extracts), dye-free, silicone-free, sodium chloride-free, paraben-free, sodium hydroxide-free, lightweight (minimal oils/ butters that are low on the ingredient list), and pretty much any other allergen/irritant.
When it comes to skincare, I also avoid all forms of Hyaluronic Acid.
PLEASE BE SURE TO DOUBLE CHECK THE INGREDIENTS LISTS OF ANY PRODUCTS‼️
About me: Combination (leans more on the dryer side), sensitive, acne and eczema prone skin.
Oil-based Cleanser
•Geek & Gorgeous Mighty Melt $14.20
-Have not tried. Simple, cheap cleansing balm
Water-based Cleanser
•Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker $9.90
-Have not tried. Again, simple, cheap gel cleanser. Does not foam.
Physical Exfoliator
•Peach Slices Acne Exfoliating Toner $10.99
-Have tried. Very gentle. In the past, I could not use products that contained Salicylic Acid or Glycolic Acid because they would burn very badly, but this never cause me any issues. I even used it for “skin cycling” while I was on Tazorac
Moisturizers
•Byoma Moisturizing Gel Cream $13.99
-Have not tried. Very cheap for a decent ceramide cream.
•Purito Dermide Relief Barrier Moisturizer $22.90
-Have tried. One of my holy grails for the simple fact that it’s a 100 ml which is VERY hard to find with good ceramide moisturizers, especially at this price point. A little goes a long way, which makes it last forever (about 3 months for me, but I do have a small face). Also will give you that dewy look.
•Regimen Lab C.R.E.A.M. $44
-My ✨holy grail✨. Pricey, but worth it. This is probably the best moisturizer that exists on the market right now. My one complaint is that it’s only 50 ml🥲 I also find it a little hard to spread across my face (it’s thick), but it’s not to the point where it would be a turn off. Has a matte finish, which is fine, but I prefer dewy.

I’m a little nervous about switching but I already have the prescription change however, my insurance is going to take up to 2 weeks to clear it so I’m curious (and anxious) of how it affected others when they switched and what will happen if I miss 2 doses of my (typical) shots while waiting for it to clear with my insurance.
Edit: my dose is .4 ml for shots and I think my topical dose is 1.62%? I DONT really know what the percent for gel means, I don’t know if this will affect what happens if I miss two doses
Edit 2: I’ve also been on T since Halloween 2022, so I’m going on 8 months

Capes and Conundrums
“Alright, so what’s so important?” Pavel asks as he arrives at the firing range. Everyone else on duty is there and that also means a quarter of the people posted on Skathac aren’t here. Still, it was odd for everyone to show up all at once.
“So glad you can join us your majesty, hopefully this isn’t a problem for you.” The sarcastic tone of one of the officers states before anyone else can so much as offer a peep.
“Considering that the notice went out twenty minutes ago and my shift starts in five I can categorically tell you to go fuck yourself. What’s going on?” Pavel retorts to the amusement of the rest of the crowd.
“Well seeing as how I can’t discipline you until you’re on the clock I suppose I have to let that slide. Gentlemen, and ladies of course, we are now faced with the greatest trial that any member of The Undaunted can face. The largest and most difficult challenge of your careers and these coming days will make or break you as a soldier.” The base commander states to stop any oncoming arguement. He was very, very rarely seen outside of his office these days. Like most Admirals under The Grand Admiral he was overworked, pushed to his limit, but managing. However Admiral Cistern had very much set the trend that the commanders of The Undaunted needed to be almost literally dragged away from their work.
Planetary Admiral Hynala was a stern man of Indian heritage who had grown out his moustache since leaving Earth. He was also the anchor of sanity and reason in the sheer crazy that was the method of behaviour that Skathac brought out of his men and was VERY aware of just how easily things could go off the rails in a place like this.
“Alright, now that everyone is here, including those who would normally be here on the next meeting like this. We have had our greatest temptation delivered. New equipment patterns are now released to The Undaunted after testing. This includes new weapons. Such as the army shattering Bouncer as it’s been nicknamed, The Frozen Fire Rods and explosive gel in several grades. Ranging from Batman, to Bomberman, to The Key.”
“Why The Key sir?” Someone asks.
“Because Explosive Gel of that grade is powerful enough to open any door you will ever come across, no questions asked. Anything else?”
“Does that include doors that exist only in your mind?”
“So long as you have something to put the gel on, you can make a door there. Furthermore Pop-Gun pattern weapons are now fully approved for the entirety of The Undaunted. Meaning you can, on request, get a handheld artillery piece. May whatever gods there are have mercy on us all.” Admiral Hynala says in a wry tone and there’s some laughter. “To get back on topic. We are going to have a demonstration of both the weapons and a list of the requisition forms required to carry around these absolute monsters. We will begin with the one I will be refusing on principal if you don’t give me a damn good reason why you want it. The Bouncer.”
“Really? An easily transported bomb that can be applied almost anywhere without issue isn’t the scariest thing?”
“The Gel is the least scary of the three if you have any understanding of thermodynamics and understand the sheer amount of Axiom screwery going on with The Frozen Fire Rods. Which are primarily fire fighting equipment that can be used as something other than a bludgeon or a smokescreen in a fight.” Admiral Hynala says before walking further into the firing range and then modifying the control panel to turn up the defensive shields up as high as he can.
The weapon he picks up resembles a toy more than anything. “This is The Bouncer, also known as a Bouncing Plasma Bomb Launcher. This is a weapon that can and WILL clean out an armoured position with one shot if you get it into the hardened position. It operates by producing unstable plasma at a rapid rate and will propel itself around on an unending series of explosions to create more explosions in different places. This weapon I hold in my hand is the only one I ever want on Skathac as the requirement to have another means things have gone to shit in ways I cannot describe without violating codes of conduct and decency.”
He then fires a single shot into the weapon’s range and a single ball is launched from the device like a toy and there are several snorts just before the ball hits the far wall.
The blue and white explosion of plasma shuts everyone up. The second third and fourth that come faster and faster widen eyes and the fact that the weapon is done warming up and is now causing roughly five explosions per second at seemingly random has the crowd staring boggle eyed.
“It’s an endless use plasma grenade that detonates on impact and then hurls itself to it’s next destination. At it’s current power level it will overwhelm a Cannidor’s plasma resistance in under five seconds and completely eat through an Undaunted Brand in ten! The practical use of this weapon is area destruction! It is NEVER to be used in any location where any item of value is held! The device in question is designed to shatter shields and wear down and all known forms of armour and resistance. Firing this device in a confined space is a death sentence! Firing it into a confined space is a confirmed kill!”
“How do we stop this thing? Worst case scenario someone teleports into this room, grabs that gun and points it at us, what do we do sir?”
“Well assuming that such an individual isn’t shot full of so many holes that they collapse into a pile of bone shards and blood, Nulling an area will shut this device down with ease. However, Null use is not without side effect. So assuming that we have say... oh I don’t know, some sort of tour of Gravia Saints who each personally hold entire planets together politically and without them there will be trillions of deaths a day, containment can be done with shield rings to form a small area to trap the ball in. So long as it’s airtight it will not have sufficient material to create more plasma. This weapon is also useless in a vacuum. So on a space ship opening the nearest airlock can and will disable the weapon.”
“And what if you misfire or miss with it? How do you shut it down if you control the weapon?” Pavel asks and Admiral Hynala pushes a button on the side of The Bouncer and the unending cascade of explosions abruptly stop. “Ah... good to see sir.”
“The code on a Bouncer is universal and can be easily mimicked by a standard communicator. This is a deliberate failsafe in the weapons. We’d rather have a weapon of massive destruction easily stopped than unstoppable. It is the opinion of the Admiralty, including myself, that it is better for so dangerous a weapon to lose effectiveness than to have it retained in potentially hostile hands.”
“This Bouncer will remain within this room and will be available for testing. You are permitted to place whatever targets you like for it to destroy within the testing area at your leisure so long as the field remains clean and functional when you’re finished. If there is even a single loss of life, be it Undaunted, Civilian, or even an animal I will have this weapon destroyed and the pattern deleted from our personal archives with a note of warning to the rest of the Admiralty. Is this understood?”
“Sir, Yes Sir!” The room responds.
“Very good. Onto our next new toy.” Admiral Hynala begins as he uses a touch of Axiom to telekinetically retrieved the inactive bouncer munition and places it back within the weapon. He then turns it off entirely and stores it for everyone to see before retrieving a pair of batons roughly the same size as a cheerleader’s baton. “Now to quite literally, play with fire.”

“It’s rather intimidating to know that some novel series are thousands of volumes long especially that this monster is one of the smaller novels.” Robin notes as he flips through a massive textbook scale book that is heavy and strong enough that he could realistically use it as a battering ram. He mentally judges it about... twenty pounds? Damn...
He comes across another splat page that gives a visual to the character descriptions and the gear they’re using. He gets a stern reminder that many of the characters are women with the character he had described as a great seducer and foul tempter actually being a man with a thin build and a vague hint of a six pack abs. He closes the book and tries not to laugh at the thought. Sure, maybe the pretty boy could cause some damage, but he looked like the type to have a full blown panic if his credit card was rejected even once.
“Something you don’t like?” Alviara asks him.
“Just trying... just trying to put that stick figure of a pretty boy into the slot of the great and terrible seducer and corrupter the back of the book painted him as. It’s very hard when he looks like a stiff breeze might make him break down and weep.” Robin notes as he struggles not to laugh.
“What? Really? You need to read deeper then, he causes some real damage with just a few words in the right ears.”
“Really?”
“Not every man expresses their power by going out and slugging things in the face. Men are the masters of soft power, especially in this story. The Dark Enchanter rarely does anything directly, but there are a dozen different... hold on a moment.” Alviara explains as she takes the heavy book from him and then flips through it. She stops on a page showing the image of six different men seducing six different women. “The Dark Enchanter kicked off the war not for profit or any real desire beyond their own boredom. They’ve shattered families, lives and dynasties just to see if he could.”
“Terrifying. Still, to you he looks like a great and terrible seducer. But to me, he seems horribly underfed and is swanning around flippantly. The kind of person who boasts about how rich his parents are. The kind of person who cries when he doesn’t get a fourth luxury car to crash.”
“Wow...” Alviara says trying not to laugh at that image. “One of the greatest villains in one of the greatest sagas ever written. As a spoiled child... Oh my...”
“Let’s call it cultural differences and leave it there.”
“The Saga of the Seventeen Systems is one part historical thriller, one part fantastical retelling of real events and one of the most beloved stories the galaxy over. And you’re that dismissive of the main villain?”
“What were the real events like?” Robin asks actually fascinated.
“Most of that information has been lost. But the Seventeen Systems Calamity was a massive on and off war that took place over a thousand years. This was about six hundred years after the introduction to Healing Comas so much of the galaxy was still adjusting to their newly unending lives. Little is actually known about the personal life of the major rulers and leaders in that time. But one thing that is known is that one man was connected to literally everyone. In the span of that thousand years, one person touched nearly a sextillion lives and then vanished.”
“So they were someone with their fingers in every major pie, was exceptional at getting around and even better at surviving, to the point they may even still be alive today.” Robin says before chuckling. “Well... isn’t that a revelation?”
Then his communicator goes off and he checks it quickly before shrugging. Just a text.
“What was that about?” Alviara asks.
“Just an alert that there will be a meeting halfway through my next shift. Likely something dull and tedious. Many of my duties are.” He says dismissively.

“And THAT is how you make a tornado out of a perfect balance of thermal energies!” Admiral Hynala declares as the Undaunted around him cheer at the sight of the whirlwind ripping through the target range. “So, to summarize, with one Frozen Fire Baton you can easily have a flamethrower or an instant freeze effect on command. Careful balance will let you shatter almost any hardened surface. With a second one you can more easily juggle the thermal forces and kick off electrical discharges from the friction of the air rubbing against each other and even more entertainingly tornadoes!”
He then gives a final flourish of the batons and sets the tornado on fire before turning to the crowd. “Any questions?”
Everyone talks at once.
“Beyond who gets to use these next?”
Dead silence.

Over the last 3 months I have dealt with the cycle of multiple UTI’s, yeast infections, and BV. I finally got on the proper antibiotics and gels and things cleared up. I started oral probiotics for vaginal health per my OB recommendation and FINALLY feel good and balanced. Unfortunately, the antibiotic that I had to take was a Sulfa derived antibiotic and historically I get what’s called “Pitysporum Folliculitis” on my chest, neck, and face as a reaction from an allergy to that strain. Essentially, it’s a yeast infection of the hair follicles on your body and creates a rash. The proper treatment is Ketoconazole topical cream and a 2 week course of 200mg daily Fluconazole. I am worried this is going to throw off my vaginal health again. Should I continue taking the oral probiotic? Anything else I should be doing while I start this course? I’m not sure if Fluconazole can throw things off.

Unlike opioids and the miracle of narcan, there is no drug known to cure GHB overdose. G is very hard to use safely and can cause death or hypoxic brain damage from oxygen desaturation secondary to respiratory depression. Since this forum is filled with fellow degenerate addicts like myself, I wanted to share some info on compounds that can might reduce the respiratory depression from G-ing out.
The pharmacokinetics of GHB vary drastically and are nonlinear. GHB is a simple molecule, but its pharmacology is exceedingly complex. Factors that don't matter in most other drug contexts can have a large impact on the amount that reaches your brain -- for instance NaGHB is absorbed much more rapidly than the free acid and coadministered sodium content plays a direct role in uptake into the brain. At physiologic pH, GHB (but not GBL or BDO) bears a formal negative charge and must be actively transported across cell membranes. Active transport into the brain is chiefly carried out by monocarboxylate transporter 1, and inhibitors of this transporter are shown to reduce the GHB concentration in rat brains, directly improving respiration. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6548980/

These results are the latest info we've got and they're very exciting: common and safe NSAID drugs, specifically diclofenac and ibuprofen are potent MCT1 inhibitors and just might be able to improve the outcome from overdose. Sterile vials of diclofenac for IM or rectal dosing can be purchased for very cheaply online without a prescription and, who knows, that $30 in medical supplies might prove useful for you or a loved one who takes it too far with G.
This obviously isn't medical advice, and always remember that you'll be charged with manslaughter at minimum if you attempt antidote intervention rather than seeking real medical care and the person dies. But the next time your friend is overdosing and you feel the need to take matters into your own panicked hands, reach for the advil rather than the meth pipe.

First time was 3 years ago but that time I didn't feel as good. I felt embarrassed and a little shame. This time I feel extremely relieved. I won't have to worry about brushing my hair a certain way to cover up bald spots! That first shower felt so good on my head!
I hated when I'm outside and it were a little windy and my hair would mess up. I couldn't drive with the window open for this reason. I would be devastated.
However, I don't plan on leaving this group and giving up on regrowing my hair. I just wanted to stop with the painful insecurities from what I mentioned above.
Last week I started Keeps gels (topical fin and min). What's nice is it's much more easy to apply that and oils on my head. On top of that is I'll be able to notice regrowth (if any) more easily.
I'm not giving up on the regrowing. If it works great! If not I already got the hair shaved so it's what it is. Highly recommend if you're having the same struggles.

I been prescribed Erstradiol gel & Dienogest for my PCOs and wanna ask if someone got experience with it (maybe with another gestagen or progesterone). If it has helped u about your symptoms,how long u been on it,or if it hasn't worked/got side effects and u been off from it,if it has worsened your symptoms.
What are ur experiences? Or if u been known about this topic in general i would appreciate some infos and feedbacks aswell. :)

Sorry if this post is all over the place. I'm nearly 30(F) & once again have woken up with painful, inflamed cysts all over my face, and it's extremely distressing.
My skin is extremely reactive & sensitive. Hates anything heavier than a gel. Hates niacinimide. Hates fatty alcohols. Hates glycerin. Hates oils (even ones "helpful for acne" cause cystic acne)
Are there any moisturisers, face creams, serums, toners, SPFs, anything, that anyone uses that doesn't have coconut, alcohols, oils, or niacinimide in?
In the last 19 years (suffered extreme acne from age of 11, calmed down around 24, back again but much worse from 26), I've tried every option from the derm & the doctor. Antibiotics, topicals, accutane, tretinoin, retin-a, adapalene, vitamin e, zineryt, duac. I'm sick of being so depressed over my skin.

15F with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, and some other irrelevant diagnoses.
All my life I’ve struggled with math, even refusing to do math because the thought terrified me. As a young kid (5- 11) I would immediately start crying if I had to do math because I was terrified of failure. I can’t do simple math in my head, I can’t even divide in my head or on paper. My entire life I have excelled at every single subject I took except math, and despite science being very math heavy I LOVE it which terrifies me.
I want so badly to be a zoologist but math terrifies me. Every time I see an equation I always expect failure. I always failed tests, classwork, homework, ect… But with everything else I exceeded far beyond my peers and am even graduating early.
Despite my rousing success in other topics math kicks me in the ass EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I can’t even read a map without taking 10 minutes, I get lost SUPER easily (I got lost in a Walmart parking lot twice, and yes it was the same Walmart), I can’t tell my left from right without looking at my fingers, I have to use scratch paper and my hands for super simple questions, I can’t do anything temperature related when it comes to math, I always double check myself on my calculator even if I know the answer I have is accurate, and I can spend hours studying a subject but I will only understand it if someone explains it to me like I’m five and even then it’ll take me at least 10 minutes. I don’t know what’s wrong with me and it’s stressing me out, also this could come from my school anxiety cause I have a lot of trauma regarding school.

Alright kids, I just started my third round of accutane and I want to talk about it.
So for a little back story, I've had acne for most of my life. I started having problematic skin at like 11 or 12 which is wild because I didn't actually hit puberty properly until I was 16. I tried all the regular options; benzoyl peroxide, two rounds of doxycycline, prescription topical treatments like Epiduo. My dermatologist put me on accutane the first time in 2019 when I was 24. It worked pretty well but didn't last very long so I went back to the derm and he prescribed a second round of accutane at the end of 2020. I can't remember quite how long each course was, but I know they were probably around 8 months each. The first time he kept me on about 10mg (I'm not a very large human) but the second time we bumped up to 20mg.
Flash forward to more recently. I started breaking out again pretty significantly towards the end of 2021. My GP prescribed tretinoin since I wasn't quite ready to consider another course of accutane. I used tretinoin for a year and half starting at the beginning of 2022. Did it all by the book and everything I was supposed to; started on 0.025 and slowly worked my way up to 0.1 percent. I was insanely strict with my routine (for the first time in my life) and cut all comedogenic products and ingredients out of my routine. I learned anything and everything I could about skincare science (I'm a PhD student so research scratches a very particular itch in my brain). I started getting quite obsessive with tracking my skincare routine and products. It didn't work. I was consistent. I did everything 'right' but it just didn't work.
Not only did I never see any measurable progress with tret, but my mental health and self confidence absolutely plummeted. During the initial two courses of accutane, I LOVED wearing makeup. A full beat every single day. But I'm not that person anymore. My PhD is a full-time job and I'm in the trenches of it now. The goal is to submit for examination at the end of this year. I don't like wearing makeup and I don't have the time for it every single morning. I would much rather sleep for 30 more minutes. I have my everyday makeup routine down to 15 minutes. I want nothing more than to be able to roll out of bed, do my skincare, throw on mascara and leave the house. But my skin and the breakouts control my life. I'm in a serious, long term relationship and I still wake up early to do my makeup before he wakes up because the acne is debilitating for my self esteem. I also scar really badly after a breakout no matter what I do, even when I literally don't touch my face. There were days where I would work from home because my skin was so bad and I didn't want to leave the house.
It got bad enough that I finally went back to my dermatologist last week. I'm not sure why I was so hesitant to just pull the trigger and do it. My experience on accutane was certainly not the worst ever. I think what I've realised is that I wanted so badly to feel like I could control my own skin and my own life without oral medication or medical intervention. I bought into the idea that if I just used the right products, if I just pushed through with tretinoin then its magic would work. But that wasn't the case. After a year and a half of tretinoin, my skin NEVER tolerated it. I peeled and shed skin like a snake. I couldn't kiss my boyfriend without layers of skin peeling off. And I still broke out like crazy. When I told my dermatologist this, he said that the internet likes to present topical tretinoin as a miracle product. And it is for some people. But my skin just could not handle it. For some reason, I tolerate oral accutane much more than topical tret. I'm not sure if anyone else needs to hear that but I wish I had come to terms with that truth a long time ago. I wish I hadn't forced myself to push through with something that wasn't working when I was so unbelievably miserable.
I'm one week into my third course. And I'm determined this time around. I really regret that I wasn't more diligent with progress pictures or keeping track of products during my first two rounds. I have plenty of pictures of my skin at its worst but I don't have any from when I finished the courses. That's one thing that will be different. Secondly, I'm in a much better place this time around. I have ADHD and I was not taking care of myself during the last two courses. I wasn't diligent with my skincare routine... I was inconsistent in even washing my face (ALL THE SHAME I KNOW) and now I've pretty much changed my life in that respect. Not just with skincare, but I also eat regularly and so much better balanced. My derm didn't tell me anything about fat absorption so knowing that now, I'm doing the peanut butter thing before and after taking my pill. Lastly, I was not proactive about anything the first and second time. I had absolutely zero ability to think and act proactively. My main side effects were dry lips (obvi) and angular cheilitis, nose bleeds, and aching joints. I also got some wicked eye infections the first time but that didn't happen the second time. Whereas accutane 3.0, I went ahead and got heavy duty eyedrops at the recommendation of my optometrist and stocked up on all the lip products. I've also stocked up on omega 3 and nose gel. The side effects haven't kicked in yet but I'm still using eyedrops, nose gel and aquaphor regardless.
I know more this time. And you better believe that knowledge is power. When we know better, we do better. I'm so excited to get my life back. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to get to this place. Maybe something in this long post encourages someone else. Maybe one of y'all had a similar experience and you have advice for me about doing yet another course of accutane. I'd love to hear about it.
