Hi I'm fairly new to this site but have been diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia for about 7 years. I have been suffering with acne rosacea on my cheeks for the last 3 years and was recently prescribed Roaccutane to clear this condition. This drug has loads of side effects, including muscle and joint aches. I have now been on this for about 15 days and for the last 9 days I have been unable to go to work as I have been quite ill. It started with muscle spasms in my chest wall, then my neck and shoulders and today I have a bad backache. I have just been told to stop taking it and see if the symptoms settle, but I am upset as this is what I need to clear my skin. I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place. H as anyone else been in this situation? Feeling pretty low at the moment too, very tearful, not sure if this is the drug or just low about feeling so bad.
