As of Tuesday, 10/19/2010, I finished my last dose of Accutane. :) So special thanks to Dr. Butler and Dr. Syed for fixing my face. :) I'll be forever grateful. :)

For posterity, I wanted to show you my Amnesteem pills, 40mg, which I had for my last month of Accutane:

Amnesteem
They look more intimidating than they actually are because of the egg size but they're gelatin coated, which makes it easier to swallow.

Hay guys, starting Month 5! Actually, I’ve started it already, but it’s taken me forever to update.

They dropped me to 40mg once a day, instead of the 30mg twice a day I’ve been taking. CVS must have not had Claravis in 40s, so they gave me Amnesteem, which I’ll post pictures of soon. The pills are egg-shaped which scared me at first, but they’re gels and easier to swallow than they look.

Face: Month 5 >> Month 4
Month Five: Face
Month 4: Face

Definitely still have scars, although Dr. Syed said they were going away. Nothing new. Some facial redness but that’ll go away with lotion and time, I think. Makeup also covers all of the above.

Right side of the face: Month 5 >> Month 4
Month Five: Right side
Month 4: Right Side

I have a cyst or something on the right side of my neck, which I wish would go away. I think if it’s not gone in a month or two (I’ve had it awhile), I’ll go see Dr. Syed about it. The Accutane works after you stop, as in it stays in your system, so I think I’ll keep seeing improvement. Cysts always take forever to go away.

Left side of the face: Month 5 >> Month 4
Month 5: Left side
Month 4: Left Side

Nothing! The red marks but the edge of my jaw are almost completely gone, although you can’t really see them in the picture.

Back: Month 5 >> Month 4
Month Five: Back
Month 4: Back

Just mostly a bit of scarring but nothing that bothers me!

Chest: Month 5 >> Month 4
Month Five: Chest
Month 4: Chest

My chest looks amazing. All of the red marks are faded or completely gone. It was like nothing was there.

Arms: Month 5
Month Five: Right arm
Month Five: Left arm

It was like I never had anything there at all. No scarring, no redness, nothing, it looks gorgeous.

I’m 1/3 of the way through my last dosage and one blood test to go! I can’t wait to post pictures of The end of Month 5 with the beginning of Month 1. 

Up soon: Pictures of the Amnesteem, ending musings, worries. Not necessarily in that order.

Thanks for reading 

Luff,
Ashe
