I took accutane for 2 rounds 10yrs apart, right now eating a very low to zero vitamin A diet is helping immensely. I am close to 5 months VA free, but hoping to make a real judgement at 1 year whether I fully endorse this. Going low A is very simple, and easy to test, and doesn't appear to be detrimental, lots of anecdotal reports are starting to come around, its a relatively new theory. What are your post accutane symptoms?
I'm not aware that accutane did anything, hard to say for sure since I was on it about 8 years ago. While on it I had joint pains when working out and a little decrease in libido.
I did some labs a few months ago and my Testosterone was at the low end of the range and my TSH was at a 5, while my total t3 and t4 were within range. My cholesterol was at 160 and 40 for the ldl
I feel like the joint pains might be from low estrogen, any time I take the fat solubles which are supposed AIs my joints get achier
