Erudite Relics of Loc Huu Ho

So my final decision is to take Accutane to deal with my increasing bad case of acne. I’ll be keeping a daily tab of any side-effects I may experience while on Accutane. I would also like to mention that in my current state, I’m perfectly healthy (even though I just recovered from a cold).

So I just got the pills from the pharmacy today, which consisted of the following:

• 30 Capsules of 40mg Accutane Roche 40 (1 capsule taken a day)
• 30 Capsules of 10mg Accutane Roche 10 x 3 Packages (3 capsules taken a day each after a meal)

Monthly Dosage

I will be starting on the pills tomorrow since I need to leave a day for all the antibiotics I have been taking to pass through my system.

I really hope I do not run into any of the severe side-effects due the extreme toxicity of this medicine. I’ll briefly post what was written on Accutane’s consumer information. Please note that the information copied here are the latest as issued of August 2006 so there may be updates to the information when you receive your Accutane.

Gloom and despair are really ignorance in another form. They fail to reckon with the fact that what appears to be baneful often turns out to be good. Lincoln lost the senatorship to Douglas and thought he had ended his career; had he won the contest, he might have remained only a senator. Life often has surprise parties for us. Things come to us masked in gloom and black; but Time, the revealer, strips off the disguise, and lo, what we have is blessings. Read the rest of this entry »

A little boy whom his mother had rebuked for not turning a deaf ear to temptation protested, with tears, that he had no deaf ear. But temptation, even when heard, must somehow be resisted. Yea, especially when heard! We deserve no credit for resisting it unless it comes to our ears like the voice of the siren. Read the rest of this entry »

Bob Fitzsimmons lacked the physical bulk of the men he fought, was ungainly in build and movement, and not infrequently got himself floored in the early rounds of his contests. But many people consider him the best fighter for his weight who ever stepped into the prize ring. Not a favorite at first, he won the popular heart by making good. Of course he had great natural powers; from any position when the chance at last came he could dart forth a sudden, wicked blow that no human being could withstand. But more formidable still was the spirit which gave him cool and complete command of all his resources, and made him most dangerous when he was on the verge of being knocked out.

When Captain John Smith was made the leader of the colonists at Jamestown, Va., he discouraged the get-rich-quick seekers of gold by announcing flatly, “He who will not work shall not eat.” This rule made of Jamestown the first permanent English settlement in the New World. But work does more than lead to material success. It gives an outlet from sorrow, restrains wild desires, ripens and refines character, enables human beings to cooperate with God, and when well done, brings to life its consummate satisfaction. Every man is a Prince of Possibilities, but by work alone can he come into his Kingship.
