This is not a continuation of my testimony, though that will soon come, don't worry. I just have a prayer request, and I'd really appreciate it if even one person in this blogger world prayed for me.
First of all, let me explain the situation. I have been taking this medacine called "Accutane" for about six weeks now for my acne problem. It is a four-to-six month process. While on it, my skin dries up alot, I lose the oils in it, and I become very sensitive to skin diseases and sunlight.
Another thing about this Accutane is that I can't take antibiotics with it, which is the main problem now. If I do, there's likely brain injury or possible death.
One of my really close friends just got strep throat. Unfortunately, I think I caught it as well. My mouth tastes like strep and my throat is beginning to hurt. The cure for strep is commonly antibiotics, but right now I can't take any, and Accutane doesn't leave my system for about one month after I stop taking it.
My prayer request is this: please pray that either one--I don't really have strep throat and am just extremely paranoid, two--my throat be completely healed and I not have strep anymore, or three--there is another cure for strep that doesn't involve antibiotics. I really don't want to get really sick. I don't want to miss school: it's too hard to make up. I don't want to infect other people. It's just a huge problem.
I know God knows what will happen. I know He has a solution. I know that I must trust that He loves me and that "In all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." But please pray for me still. God does listen to prayers, and He does answer them. Thank you. God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.
†God Bless†

That is a wonderful out look on things Bria... even when things get messy... You will definatly be in my prayers for the next few days!... And Im going to post your problem on my blog... If you don't mind.
Dear Bria,
I was once on acutane for ofcourse the exact same problem. I was suppose to have my liver or something checked while I was on it. I do not however, remember anything about not being able take antibiotics while on the medicen. I would like to suggest that you double check this with your pharmicist or family position. All medicens just about can have negative reactions with certain other meds so you always need to follow your dr.s and the lables insructions. However, I am almost certain that if you did have strep that there is some kind of antibiotic that you can take. A internet search on accutane will also turn up information about potentiol drug interactions and side effects that people need to know when they are on any kind of medication. Let me know what you find out.
