update

so depressed these days.

no improvements.

funny how i didn't want to take one tiny little pill on a daily basis, gave it up, only to have my face explode and now I take oodles of pills daily.

My regimen right now:

pills:
antibiotics twice per day
zinc supplement
omega 3 supplement
probiotics x2

Morning: sometimes i apply a topical antibiotic
at night: topical vitamin A (basically same as accutane but topical form)

diet-wise, i've pretty much given up. i still try to eat gluten free, dairy free, low glycemic, no chicken/beef/pork, but i definitely cheat on a daily basis. what constitutes as cheating though exactly? eating a small bag of popcorn chips, eating a small piece of dairy free, gluten free cake... generally up until 6-7 pm, i'm on track.

just not seeing any results...

my face is so bad i'm feeling almost suicidal. it's worse than it has been since the acne returned. and it's worse than i ever remember it in life. i feel disgusting.

i saw a naturopathic dr on friday (March 9th). he prescribed soap with pyrithione zinc, and zinc vitamins (30 g daily).
