Just another WordPress weblog

I guess I couldn’t be happier with my treatment so far.  I have only had a moderate breakout so far which is completely manageable.  My face has looked worse than it does now without being on Accutane.  I have had no mental side effects and feel happy as ever.  Nosebleeds have occurred the past few days which is annoying but just a common side effect.  There is one important thing I wanted to share with all of you however.  I have chosen to abstain from alcohol for the length of my treatment.  It is debateable whether or not drinking alcohol while on Accutane is bad or not but common sense would tell us it can’t be a good idea.  So to play it safe I will not be drinking.  However, the other night I cracked at my roommates birthday party and had one beer.  Within minutes of drinking this beer my face began to seriously itch worse than ever, and I could feel a pulsing sensation under each of my cysts.  My face began to swell up very quickly.  I drank a water bottle and in an hour or so my face went back to normal.  So just to let you know I would recommend staying away from the booze. My acne seems to be improving a bit. Here are some more pics!
