I am a 25 year old female that studies in the health field. For the last 11 years my health has been poor and it took me all of those years searching to find out the culprit. At age 13 I took Accutane for a year and it did a great job of stopping my acne. However I traded my entire immune system as well as my emotional wellbeing. Immediately after taking it I became depressed, anxious, suicidal and sickly. My immune system finally shut down and I was in bed for two years. I still suffer from severe joint and muscle pain every day of my life since that year. My kidneys are swollen, I am on medicine for my underactive thyroid, and I have lost a decade of my life to this medicine. I would like to see it off the market. That's my next task. I'll fight that fight. I never ever want to see this happen to another person. It's sick, truly sick. PLEASE reconsider if you are on this medication. Its mechanism to destroy acne is to SUPPRESS the immune system! Mine was disabled. My entire story will be up on my website soon. I'll send the link in. If you need to contact me for any questions or comments, feel free.. Elizabeth at VelvtRaine@aol.com. Thank you for listening.

It is extremely important that no one else is exposed to this drug. My daughter used it for a period of 5 months several years ago. During the time she used the drug she experienced multiple blackouts and extremely aggressive behavior. She is just now recalling events that occurred during that time and she called me crying hysterically after remembering extremely horrible events during this time. Although I kept a close eye out for behavior changes, she was able to hide from me suicide attempts and other bizzare events. I urge anyone thinking about using this drug, not to take it. We were told if the correct amount is prescribed, no side affects should occur. Her doctor was wrong. I pray that the side affects will not harm her chance of having a family in the future. Right now i am extremely worried about her because she lives in another city now.

Fame to small shack Medicine cabnet and purse stacked with bottles of pills for a disease the doctors cannot put a name on "rae's Disease" that is what they call it, ah, also UMCTD.. Opiods, prednisone, atenolo (heart) IBS, blah, blah and more pills. What a price for fair, zit free skin! Another 10 meds to take. The pain, oh, the pain. Accutane can ruin your life. Use to be: plane, jets, TV, limo's, hair stylists and glamour shots. Now, sweats, fevers, chills and computer to keep some type of contact in this insane body that is deteriorating without giving me any notice. I just learned of accutane and seeing my doctor tomorrow. If this is the devil that has envaded by body, my life, I have instructed my famiy to send my body to their headquarters when I die. I wil be the Matre! The accutane killler, kills litttle bit of me everyday. Money cannot buy my life, but I can get medical treatement and not live on SSI and Mediare. What a joke. From riches and People Magazine to pill-popping-pop-tart who prays everynight that God will free this body of pain. May I wake up cured or in his arms. Anyone else want to live without stress, poverty, pills, pain and this god aweful evil seed that has ruined lives? Join me at drrae4kids@netscape.net and send me your story. I am ready to write my third book. This one is about living without pain and patients rights for Oxycontin, the only drug that helps me live pain tolerance, not pain free. I need your stories of how Oxy has helped you get up and shower. Take a trip tp the store or movies. Helps you get out of bed and have a day. Maybe not normal, but what normalism has now become. If you are in pain, go to your nearest pain management doctor. We have the right to be treated for this chronic pain ACCUTANE. I just hope those who have considered accutane will now consider the following. Is a zit worth your life? If you take that pill you may end up like me. I cannot leave my house without my daily dose of drugs to keep me alive, and sane. Sane enough to fight for my rights and yours! Anyone who was diagnosed with MCTD or UMCTD but not a clear diagnosis, just symptoms, please email. I need your help! Dr. Rae

Twenty eight years later in 2005 I was diagnosed with Wegener's Granulomatosis. Recently, I came across an ad in a newspaper about lawyers looking for accutane users with autoimmune diseases and my interest was peaked. I was not aware of any connection between the 2 and neither were my Doctors. Since you are in the health field, what evidence has been published on this matter? Can you enlighten me. Thanks, Tere
