Thanks for the replies but I don't think I made my point clear.

I honestly do live clean and do all the right things the majority of the time. This hit me all of a sudden a couple years ago and got real bad. Nothing in high school, no siblings or parents that had bad skin. And I have recently got the workover physical, blood work to check my thyroid, all that stuff. Clean bill of health given after 2 seperate doctors.

So yes I went to respected dermatologists and got all my prescriptions from them and follow all directions. I have pills in my system, I wash with powerfull stuff all over a couple times a day, and apply different goop to my face and body daily as well. Even tried numerous stuff in cycles at their suggestion.

That leaves the accutane. I was trying to put you in my situation where besides the stress of looking unpresentable because of constant breakouts and scarring, it is very painfull to where you are thinking about it all the time. Not fun at all. I have been dealing with it because the routine was stopping atleast the painfull breakouts until now.

And since accutane is the last thing for me to try and I don't want to live with this, cant even, It seems I have to do whats right for me and atleast give the stuff a chance, and fight my insurance.

If you had tried everything wouldn't you do what you had to do and try accutane, even at the chance of it fucking up your system? I may have fucked up my system already some say with all the long term antibiotics.

Sorry it seems like a no brainer to me going through it, but I can't believe people would put up with scarring and 24/7 pain because they fear drugs?

I just wanted to see what some outside my circle would say to such a situation before I fight this shitty insurance company for one last time. If they don't treat me right, then I'm gonna have to go to a private doc and pay out the ass for the prescription and blood tests.
