Side Effects Of Accutane

I was 16 and on accutane for cystic acne in 1985. I remember sitting in class, taking a test and a drop of blood from my nose hit my test paper. I actually had blood clots from my nose! In my early 20's i had constant neck and shoulder tension. I am starting to believe the chronic aches and pains are due to taking accutane. My mom has always thought that I suffer from arthritis.

Have you discussed this with a doctor?

It is well known that Accutane can cause odd side effects and some health problems that may be permanent and can show up long after someone has taken it.
