: : HELLO EVERYONE
: : I AM AN ACNE SUFFERER FOR 2 YEARS. I AM NOW IN ACCUTANE FOR 2 WEEKS AND I CONSIDER IT AS MY LAST HOPE TO GET RID OF THE PIMPLES THAT HAVE RUINED THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE.I MUST SAY THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN UNDERSTAND THE PAIN I AM GOING THROUGH DESPITE YOU, WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.I REALLY THINK THAT IF I DIDNT HAVE ACNE MY LIFE WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT. ANYWAY, I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING THAT MAY SOUND WEIRD TO YOU . MY DOCTOR TOLD ME TO TAKE ROACCUTANE[THATS HOW WE CALL IT HERE IN GREECE] WITH A GLASS OF MILK. ALL PATIENTS HERE IN GREECE DO THIS COMBINATION.THAT MEANS I HAVE TO DRINK 3 GLASSES OF MILK EVERY DAY!!! I HAD NO SUSPICIONS ABOUT IT SINCE I READ IN THIS SITE THAT MILK MAKES ACNE WORSE. I AM NOW VERY CONFUSED AND I WANT TO KNOW YOUR OPINION ABOUT THIS. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS ADVICE BY HIS DOCTOR?/?/
: : THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST

: It actually says on the package to do this, and I know many people wh so did this and were fine. So i would go ahead and do it if it is more convenient like if you don;t have time ot eat a full meal with it. Hope this helps :)

I know exactly how you feel..regarding the fact that you think your life would be different, so do I, and thats very depressing..see ya.
