I'm glad you are better Elaine! Sorry you are dealing with CTD laser cat.

So, I picked up my Accutane today BUT I've decided I'm not going through with it right now. I've been doing a lot of...

What is CTD? I'm glad you found a specialist!

I've been housebound too. It's so hard.

yes I am getting ahead of myself aren't I? I'm praying this works. If so, I'll have to find a derm to work with me.

Ordered the gel caps size 00 :)

Second pregnancy test Monday. Such a...

Thanks owldog! I'll order the caps and try 5mg first.

lasercat, do you mind sharing the name of your derm in CA? I'm not in CA (Im in MA) but if there are derms there ok with continuous low...

Doxy didn't help me at all...and it used to, for regular acne.

Maybe I'll try the pill cutting thing...is it OK to store the accutane in the fridge?

I've been on the Soolantra a few weeks now. I definitely don't think these pustules are from any bacteria, or are regular acne. For some reason I think it's a kind of autoimmune response, like...

Thanks for the responses everyone. ElaineA I am actually on Soolantra right now. And taking Bactrim. If anything, things are getting worse.

Laser Cat, I'm also 50kg. I am going to advocate for...

Thank you Brady, that's very helpful. I'm going to bring all this to show the derm, but if I have to, I'll probably just adjust the dose myself. I know I read older posts about splitting capsules,...

I've been lurking for a few weeks, so I thought I'd finally register. I've learned a lot already, although some of the threads I've been reading are fairly old. Anyway, I'm female, 52, got...
