Accutane Week Three- Skin has stopped being dry?

Today i am two days into my third week on actuate. I was prescribed 30mg once a day and don't have another appointment until two weeks time (as I'm on holiday). Id say my acne is moderate- i always have at least 3 or 4 inflamed spots on my cheek area but i wouldn't go as far as calling them cystic. My main problem is closed comedones, i suffer from them on my entire face. Comedones where the main reason i wanted to go on roaccutane because they where so persistent and are impossible to cover with makeup as they are raised.  So lets talk about the thing that worries people the most ...

Side Effects- This is where i become a bit confused. In the first and second week my face and lips where super dry and red raw. However this third week my skin is no longer dry? I have not idea if this is due to good management (the skincare I'm using) or whether the effectiveness of the medication is decreasing. Either way it's defiantly something i will mention at my next dermatologist appoint as I'm pretty sure i should have some form of dryness, especially as it had been the most obvious symptom in the previous two weeks.
Itchiness! I have been so itchy since about day four, especially on my arms and my scalp. I don't know if this is due to the fact i haven't made a drastic change to my body and haircare routine unlike my skincare so them areas may be a little dehydrated.
Joint pain has also been very prominent the last few weeks. My back has been really stiff and I'm frequently getting spasms when I'm in certain positions. Ive also found I've been experiencing a lot of shooting pains in both of my hips however this is really difficult to tell if this is the medication or just growing pains- as I suffer from them on a regular basis due to having cerebral palsy and the tightened muscles stretching.

Skin care routine / makeup- I've being keeping everything super simple. I have probably wore makeup about three/four times, i know this is still a lot but i am the type of person that would wear makeup every time i went out and if i decided to wear it, it would always be a full face. I'm talking highlight, contour, blush and most likely a bronze smokey eye. As for skincare I've been using this Simple cleanser to wash my face both morning and night. I recently purchased two things from  Clique which are amazing! The first is a high coverage tinted moisturiser which is really moisturising but is oil free so it hasn't been making my comedones worst. I also purchased the high impact mascara which has nothing to do with my acne but its by far the best mascara i have ever tried. Because i purchased two items i got a set with a miniature moisture surge moisturiser and the full sized eye cream, i think its these two products that have stopped my skin being cracked, red and sore- so i would highly recommend if you are currently on actuate.

As for my actual acne update i will be posting one next week as i want to show a comparison picture from the first day to the end go the first month.

My Favourite Quote

I know quotes seem like such a clique thing at the minuet, you can't escape them- I'm not ashamed that they have their own board on my Pintrest or the fact the make up 70% of my iPhoto library.  I think quotes are one of them things that can be so motivational, i recently read Meg Says blog post on her favourite quote and it's uplifting qualities. My favourite quote is simply- "I  want to inspire people... I want someone to look at me and say because of YOU I didn't give up."

For me personally I find this quote to be very relevant. All I've every wanted in life is to be a successful Doctor- I'm aware it doesn't sound like the average 16 year olds goal. Ive seen so many professionals in my life, Physiotherapists, ocupational therapists, phycologists and primaraly  a consultant pediatrician- for my Cerebral Palsy. This consultant I have had from the age of two, so as you can imagine we know each other incredibly well. When he would talk to me about the importance of doing my physiotherapy or medical procedures such as botox he would frequently say "I will give you the exact same advice as i would if you where my own daughter". Because of this we respected each other highly- I would do my physio and wear my splints because i wanted us BOTH to be able to see the results. I suppose in that respect my motivation in improve and maintain was primarily based on the mutual respect and care that had formed between us. 

I can't describe how much i want this I'm my mature life. I want to be a consultant doctor in neuro disability. I want to give a young child advice and the sheer amount of care i portray will be the motivation they need to not give up and stick to their personalised treatment plan. Im not naturally academic and will have to work my arse off for my A levels- but it's what i want. Completing a six year degree an overwhelming amount of work and long clinical hours is hard for the average personal- Throw in Cerebral Palsy and M.E and it may be near impossible but i doesn't mean i can't try. Given my academic ability and numerous health problems it would probably to more realistic to say I wanted to be a Princess. But, I want to be someones motivation to succeed and if that isn't the push i'll continually need... I don't know what is.
