: Hi all, : I was really surprised when I read all your messages, in a way it has even given myself some added confidence… especially those posts made by the girls! : I too had extremely bad Acne as a younger teenager (I am now 18)... I had thoughts about committing suicide and other silly things too, I just hated it, I remember I would wash my face like 6 times a day, just trying to scratch the acne off my face, when in reality all this was doing was making the problem even worse. : I was at the doctors from almost the very start of my acne and they had me on a whole host of prescription drugs and creams, but to no avail! None of these seemed to help… : ...Eventually after having severe acne for around three years they finally put me on Roaccutane (I just wish they had done it sooner, because my life would be so much better now if they had)! : Anyway I was referred to the Specialist, and eventually cleared for the Roaccutane... and OH MY GOD the Roaccutane really DID save my life, I was so amazed at the results, if it were not for Roaccutane I swear I would not be alive today. Even after a couple of months I was getting loads of comments from family and friend like “oh wow Nick your face looks so much better” – this really did bring a lot of my self-esteem back that was robbed from me by this evil acne problem! : I do still have some Acne Scarring, a few red marks and a little roughness on my skin around my cheeks, but other than that my skin looks so clear now and I am so much happier as a person! : I think the case of Shady is absolutely SICKENING, I would go further with this and do everything you can… keep making appointments and KEEP BITCHING (I promise you with all my heart that you get yourself on that Roaccutane and it will change your life for the better)! : Ok SURE there are some risks and side affects, SURE there is a risk of even more short-term depression, but the doctors need to realise that unless they put you on the Roaccutane anyway your life is just going to get worse, there is a way out of this for you hon, you need to do more to make sure you get it! : If you ever need to talk feel free to add me on msn messenger: n.Peyton@btinternet.com or email nchlspey@aol.com : : Cheers, : Nick
