Tyson, I don't know the answer to your questions cause I'm not a psychic! You have to have your docs run tests, etc. It is in the realm of possibilities that the drug is doing damage to your body. Only time will tell if it's permanent or not. The body has extraordinary healing abilities BUT only if you take away what is making it toxic.

Listen to Mrs. D. She absolutely knows what she is talking about. And I completely agree that you could be in real trouble.

I was wondering if what you have on your face, the redness you describe, is rosacea. Has anyone ever said anything about that to you? Maybe it's acne but I think it's time to think outside the box.

It's worth bringing up to, perhaps, a 2nd opinion dermatologist.

You haven't had much experience with drugs. They can help you but they can hurt you too. Mrs. D. had given you LOTS of great advice about acne, among other things. I truly don't believe Accutane is worth the risk to your health. But it's your decision.

I hope you don't have any damage. But if this drug is causing you to be weak, it doesn't take a doctor to figure out what the ramifications of that are.

Hang in there!!!
