Ok after lots of requests to let people know about my skin appx 1 year later………..
My skin has not had any new breakouts, I did have one stubborn way under the skin cyst like on my cheek that left a scar, due to picking and such, the scar is still there, the cyst is mostly gone…i did say mostly, i still feel it under the skin but it has not come to the top of filled up to a break out at all, it is just there (the small bump under the skin and scar) My hair returned to normal about 3 months off the medication, while on the medication my hair was drier, but in a good way, humidity never bothered it and it was never ever oily, it never looked dry but I could go 3 days without washing it and I am back to washing it every day, for a women with curly hair that straightens it, the medication was a god send to not having to wash it every day. That was a real great perk for taking the medication for me. As far as weight loss, My appetite while taking the medication was down, after about 2 months my appetite returned to normal, i lost between 7 and 10 pounds while on medication and gratefully only put about 5 – 6 pounds back on after my appetite came back (so I guess is it what we put in our mouths that make us gain weight) as simple as that sounds to realize, I really thought I never ate that much until being on the medication. Again another per of the medication for me. I found the medication to be wonderful, All the hype I read everywhere, blogs, question and answer sites etc….said very bad things, I did not have any of those worries, I don’t know if I was just a lucky one, but I truly checked in with my doctor, any questions or symptoms (dry lips, appetite, etc…I asked the questions and got answers, rather than trying to figure things out, I even called the doctor and emailed with any question I had, they were very tolerant of my few questions and was very glad that I asked them) I too was glad to have a professionals opinion, so again throughout my blog I have said and continue to say….check with you doctor for questions, problems, inquiries, weird feelings if you have them ( I did not, but read about others having them) I did exactly as I was told by the doctor wear sunscreen was a big one to this day I am still wearing sunscreen, neutrogena puts out an spf 90 its nearly greaseless, ,my dry lips returned to normal about 4 days after stopping the medication, my dry hands returned to normal about 4 days after stopping the medication. For me and I only speak for myself, I loved the medication, If others read this and had problems, I truly am sorry for them, again I happen to be a grateful customer. Good luck with you Skin and I hope that you have the great results that I did…..I really do not answer any emails any longer, I feel I have pretty much said my story, There is no more to say, I am not a doctor and have not ever even played one on T.V. ( alittle humor, very little i guess LOL) so please,please, please check with your doctor, stay in touch with them through the process, do what that say, ask them questions as they arise and my best advice is BE PATIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot promise my results…..Happy Skin to You!
