Holy dryness batman.
It's like being in a desert, despite having all the water in the world. My lips are cracked, I wouldn't be able to cry if I wanted to and the skin has started slowly peeling off me.
The workouts haven't changed much. I'm still doing the same thing.....despite having my best friend in town this weekend and um....drinking, well, a lot......which I know is bad. Only post workout symptom is the lightheadedness. I've actually lost 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks....despite not changing any eating habits. Water weight?
Still get nauseous a lot and I may becoming a bit irritable. Don't know if that is just a response from the post weekend drinking.
Starting to actually see some improvement on the chest and back!

Starting out.
Word.
I started taking Accutane. I'm a 26 year old male who has a busy job at an advertising firm. Never since 15 has my skin been this bad. I don't know if there is a hormonal shift or what, but 26 is awkward enough without dealing with acne.
The side affects of Accutane are nuts. And I plan on documenting them here. As I'm an avid runner, biker, yogi and lifter....I want to create a space to discuss how this serious medicine impacts both the body and mind.
I'm going to post some pics of the current acne status.
Current workout: Spin/yoga 5 times/week. Heavy lifting 1 time a week. Running-not happening. Swimming once a week (1 mile).
Accutane: Day Uno.
Noticed something weird around 10 am. Huge headache and blurry vision. Peripheral vision almost gone.
Felt like I was going to throw up for 2 hours after lunch.
Went to the gym for Spin/yoga. Came home.....had a glass of wine. Now feel completely sick with a headache and don't know if I can eat dinner. Drinking on this isn't recommended because of liver complications. I now see that isn't going to be an issue for the next 6 months as the nauseous pavlovian response to alcohol will kick in soon.
I wasn't fully prepared to feel this shitty on the first day. Also really tired. Trying to stay up until at least 9.
