Day 1 Bio and Backround - January 20 2011

This is my journal accounting my second round with Accutane. I am taking Claravis which is one of the generic versions of isotretinoin.  The last time I went on Accutane was back in 2002.  My acne was was bad enough that it would hurt to smile and my shirts would be spotted with blood at the end of the day.  After numerous other attempts to cure my acne I decided to take the plunge. 

Recently my acne has started to come back again so I visited with my dermatologist and decided to do a second cycle.  Today I had my blood work done, filled my prescription and took my first pill at 9:30pm.

Over the next few months I will keep an active account of my second round with Accutane.  I will keep track of my skin condition, how I feel, problems that arise and I will even review products that I use.  Please feel free to ask questions or comment on any post.
