Starting Month Number 6

It has been a long road of skin ups and downs (mostly ups though!) I have been very lucky I understand and the derm feels I have tolerated the medication very well….No real upsets skin, mood etc…I will be finished soon and am incredibly pleased with the outcome…my face is not perfect but oh my goodness 95% better than when I first began.  I guess what happens when you end the medication is that your skin goes back to its optimal healing any brown or pink (red) marks from previous (6 month ago) breakouts begin to deminish and when your skin is not breaking out anymore and your not creating new marks the old ones (with tons of sunblock) and no picking go away over the next 6 months so to that I am looking forward!  I will keep updating over the next year or so checking in and posting from time to time.  I really wish patience and good skin to everyone who reads my blog…Off I go to get ready for work takes about 3 minutes to do my face and (skin) look good used to take about 14-20 minutes and it never looked good just a covered over mess.  Lots of people have commented on how great I look that I don’t look as tired anymore (brownish marks and sallow skin will do that I guess) also a little side not while taking the medication I find I am not nearly as hungry as I used to be 3 meals a day is fine so what if I don’t snack (I lost 7 pounds in almost 6 months) yippie yahoo and horrary to Sotret!! What a great side effect!!!
