I did, they called me a few weeks ago. I’m in tool and die, they said 10 people were on the list to get called waiting for people to retire. I was the first one in that list. So finally going to start the 27th

malottb21

I interviewed January 9th and had offer an hour after for skilled trades. Background check took forever with first advantage. I was told it takes 2 weeks but anyway now I’m waiting for a start date. I guess I’m on a list and they’re waiting for people to retire. Once they do I will get a start date, they do orientation every 2 weeks. Who knows when someone will retire, Im getting so impatient.

Yes, eyes are normal. Lips get chapped a little easier it seems on the cold months of the year than what they used to but it’s nothing crazy. I have been acne free also since getting off. This has been the best thing I’ve done!

Hello, hello 😀

malottb21

February 2024 was last time I had taken accutane. My lips, hair and all that went back to the way it was fairly quickly. And no I don’t want the oily skin to come back as it was too much. My skin feels normal now. I don’t regret it, I regret not taking it sooner as I had mild cystic acne that wasn’t fun to deal with and I’m 30 years old. So I’ve felt with acne for over 10 years. I’m sorry your experience wasn’t the best. I had similar symptoms as you have. Dry lips, hair went from straight to like dry frizzy and curled. But all of that is back to the way I used to be now. I doubt it was an even a month and my hair/lips were back to normal.

I don’t know really what to tell you as far as that. Maybe try not to wash your hair so frequently as I stopped doing that. But hopefully things improve for you! I’m so sorry, you fixed an issue to just deal with other issues.

I was paying that with insurance, I think one month it was more than that. Until my dermatologist found out and then told me to use this online pharmacy. 2 boxes of 40mg pills was 113 without insurance. It was way cheaper than goodrx could get it for me and I didn’t even use insurance.

malottb21

From what I remember I did 30mg the first month, 60mg for 2 months and then 80mg for 3 or 4 months, not 100% sure. I could have stopped sooner but I waited till I had no acne for 2 months straight as my dermatologist wanted that. I’m 145lbs.

Skin was very oily before going on it. Now my skin is not oily at all, and it’s remained very close to how it was when I was on accutane. The oily skin hasn’t came back. My hair was extremely frizzy however and started to get curls. But that has all went back to normal.

Lips went back to normal very quickly like less than 2 weeks or so. No side effects that I’m aware of or notice. Been acne free since I was off of accutane which was around February this year. It’s been amazing! I have gotten a few spots here and there but it’s very rare and the spots are so small to notice much.

malottb21

Anyway to fix the neck a little too?

malottb21

So sorry to hear that. Mine was always straight and on accutane went wavy/curly and just dry frizzy. It’s back to normal now but it was right after I had gotten off of it. 7 months post is a long time but it still could potentially.

malottb21

I am 30m and got off of accutane around February. I did 80mg for like 4 months and 60 for 1, 30 for first month. Something like that and I’m 145 5’10. Been off of it for a bit now and have had 0 acne. It’s completely amazing and I don’t do a single thing to my skin as far as products. I was 2 months no acne before I got off of it.

malottb21

I have my setup saved if you want it. As long as your internals match mine cause there is some different boards and such. I’ve ran mine for 10 hours straight once. But it’s been strong for 3 years now running a lot.

malottb21

I use Mach 3 with 6040 on windows 10

malottb21

You can dm me, I might be able to help

malottb21

Ah yeah, that would be fine haha

malottb21

Can you do something different with the background? I do like this though, what I was looking more for. You can tell it’s them in face.

malottb21

So far I like the direction that randomanoniimo did. I would like it to still look somewhat like the person in the face but still have like a she hulk style body. Just so you know it’s them in the looks.

malottb21

I didn’t see anything replied, so posted again and raised price to pay

malottb21

They’re soft because they were in sun/heat if I remember correctly. Keep them out of the light. But they still worked for me. I just tried not to do it next time

I used skyMD for 7 months and finished in February, but I’m a male so didn’t deal with pregnancy test stuff. All my stuff was done out of pocket, no insurance. I paid 79 a visit however (prices have increased I heard). My labs I only did 3 times. I also went to my own place to get them done. I just went to a local hospital to do them. They were fairly cheap. As far as the accutane. At first I was paying 350/400 a month for accutane but they weren’t aware I was paying that much till I said something when I went up to 80mg and was going to be 700/800 or so. They recommended an online pharmacy since it was so expensive at my pharmacy. Once I went to online pharmacy it was 113 total each month for accutane, then the 79 dollar visit for skyMD. I didn’t have to do labs as my blood work was very good and in fact better than the very first test I had. So my experience was good. I’m sorry you’ve had so much issues.

I have a 100 watt omtech, you using light burn? Look into scanning offset adjustment in there. Might be irrelevant to your issues but when I got mine, I had to calibrate that. At high speed I would get like ghosting. I also made a manual level piece so I can verify the correct spacing that the auto level did. Just cut it out of acrylic, it stair stepped up so I can see exactly where it was, then also adjusted the auto level. But yeah, as others said check your focus.

Best to just ask your dermatologist but generally your skin will be very thin. I had scrapes from a razor once from shaving which was crazy to me. Another time I got a haircut and had a red mark from scissors just goes across face cutting the bangs. So your skins thin, especially on the face as it’s already a sensitive area. 20mg is low though, but on the face would be a no go for me at least. Everyone’s skin is different.

malottb21

It’s amazing! No issues besides the normal dryness on lips. Clear at month 5!

malottb21

I am in the same boat somewhat except I’m on 80mg since month 3 and 30 first month, 60 second. I could stop at month 6 but I ended up just doing an extra month anyhow. I was afraid of relapse. I’m way over the accumulated dose for my weight though. After month 7 I’m off for sure. My derm said I could stop also if I wanted to or go extra month.

malottb21

Haven’t heard of any derms doing that but it’ll still work, just no point in not taking it everyday. You will just slow up the process. Also no reason to wing yourself off of it. Most start at a low dose 10/30 to see how body reacts then gradually increase to max dose, most are 60/80 and they stay on that dose till end of treatment unless side effects start bothering and that’s the only reason they lower back. Accumulated dose is just a minimum/reference guide. Some will need to have a higher dose for it to work and a lot of derms want to see you acne free for 1/2 months before taking you off of it. That said lowering your dose and not taking on weekends won’t affect it from working, it’s just not necessary in my opinion.
