Side affects years after Isotretinoin
I was on Isotretinion medication for acne about 4-5 years ago. My acne cleared up shortly after but now I have serious health problems like bone and muscle pains, severe hair fall including beard and eyebrows, extremely slow healing, depression, dry eyes, elevated lipid and liver enzyme values, high TSH etc and the list goes on.
No one in my family has these problems so I don't think it's genetic. And I was never on any medication besides Isotretinoin and hence think they're all side effects of the medicine and frankly I'm terrified.
Could anyone confirm this? How do I reverse/cure all these conditions?
