after that i had Shaking in my hand (for 3 month then it removed) and bad concentration (i did not know till now why i did not go dr may i was thinking that is not problem ) after 4 year i did a test for thyroid and the result was positive for hypothyroidism , i want to ask if there is connection between the medication (Isotretinoin and accutane) and hypothyroidism and if it reversible
Also I get charp needle like pain that appear to run in my head and sometimes my eyes. I also feel some swelling in my face more often than normal when I get up in the mornings. I also am feeling tired at times, throughout the day.These symptoms have been occuring gradually more often. I am beginning to worry. I have no medical Insurance. What can or should I do?
If accutane is the cause of all this pain then I’m not sure what to think. I’ve benefitted a lot from accutane in terms of confidence and opportunity but my health definitely hasn’t been the best since I’ve gotten on it. I’ve been contemplating staying on a continuo’s cycle of accutane since I fear breakouts so much but after reading these posts, I’m not sure what to do. I appreciate accutane for helping look good because people definitely treat you much better without accutane.
3 weeks ago I had my 1st eye infection of my entire life in my right eye so I went to an opthamalogist and he told me to stop taking the accutane for a week (which is what he says caused the infection) and put me on doxyclince hyclate 100mg twice a day and eurithromyocin gel to put on my eyelid that knocked the infection out.
I think that your best bet might be to to a search on the web for statistics, and of course make a Dr.'s appt. asap and let them know......
A friend of mine at work was taking tetracycline when she became pregant and all is well with her little guy....(The only example that I have...sorry)...
Lots of luck!
Is anyone aware of a linkage between isotretonoin (Accutane), used for treating cystic acne, and Sjogren's, which is linked to the epithelial cells? At 21, when Accutane first appeared, doses were higher than current (I remember my skin bleeding when scratching lightly with a fingernail). I am now 51, and have had Reynaud's for a number of years, and was just diagnosed with Sjogren's. Just curious if anyone has seen this?
Accutane is known to cause problems in skeletal system of growing teens. I took it around the same age as your son and had severe pain. I called "Rosche" the company that makes Accutane and they said it can stunt growth in teens by closing the epiphyseal plates prematurely. I'm 21 now and my height of 5'7'' hasn't increased since my last cycle of Accutane. I also remember having severe joint and muscle pain after HS tennis practices. - 21 male.
I am currently due with my second child in April. I sometimes feel as if my mental health takes over and affects my daughter as well. I have been working with different coping skills and learning the warning signs of how I feel right before I go into a cycle. I can honestly say therapy has helped a lot with this. The day I found out I was pregnant I quit taking all my meds (my choice, did not talk to my psychiatrist about it) and I have been doing awesome!
It was full of abuse (mental, physical and emotional). As a child and a teenager no one would ever know because I was outgoing, happy (when I was with my friends and not my father), got decent grades and always behaved myself. I never got into trouble in school or elsewhere. I knew how and when to wear the mask. The only person who knew anything about what was going on, besides my mom and siblings, was my best friend.
also in a group or so with friends sometimes i am not able to interpret what they are saying and left part and back part starts paining as if somebody is compressing my nerves.due to this problem i am not able to perform well in the studies also.my family members think that i am making excuses of not to study but its not like that.how can i explain to it to my family members.i had a homeopathic consultant previously .when i took the medicine coarse for 15 days pain was reduced to a small extent.
Do not enable his behavior or you will have responsibility for what happens to him. And do not let him into your house even for a visit. If he is so drugged up and has mental problems, your safety is in jeopardy.
Really sorry to sound so harsh. But you have a real problem on your hands. You are doing the right things. Hope that you will continue.
My husband was hit in the head while at work and they thought nothing of it gave him some stitches and sent him back to work. Three months later we discovered he had developed petite maul seizures and will have them for the rest of his life. Please go get checked. You may be able to control it with medications or therapies. Best of luck to you.
My mother has very similar symtoms but hers sound worse than yours. She cant quit dwelling on things and then will get angy and border on violence. Your way ahead of the game by admitting that you know its not normal to feel this way. I would look up symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It sounds worse than it is. Its basically the inability to control emotions. Always reading into things that aren't really there and then letting your mind run away with you.
No with meds and treatment and once doctor gives you a clean bill of health i see no reason one can't issues there dream. See people on a whole just have a wrong perception or should i say place 'stigma' where mental health is involved and to know as i do its just a illness that can be treated just as a disease. But it depends on you if your will to fight this and press forward with your dream if so as becoming a cop. keep strong...
I've only been on Accutane (actually, a generic brand of it) for ten days, and I experienced my first migraine on day 9. I am unsure if the migraine could be connected to Accutane, but I did a little research and some instances of migraines have been reported by Accutane users. I am just uncertain because I haven't been on it very long, but I am already experiencing dry lips, so I suppose I could be experiencing other side effects already, too.
17 year old daughter having stomach issues, just got a positive test for celiac, has bad acne, derm wants to put her on accutane. I am worried about the accutane and her stomach. Not sure celiac is only cause of stomach aches. Also birth control pill used to control acne, then she went off and it came back worse than ever. She is back on the pill for almost 3 months and it is not working. Why?
