So sorry to hear about your struggles. I have never taken Accutane. I have never had a diagnosed illness. I guess what I do have is an eating disorder(orthorexia?)/diet obsession (self-diagnosed) due to my previous obsessions with weight loss. I've pretty much been at a healthy weight for most of my life though. My doctors have never raised concerns with me in my general checkups for the most part. However, I do think I have had subclinical hypothyroidism for most of my life, because my hair has had that fried look for much of my life, and I have been very irritable, my sleeping habits have not been very good for a long time, and probably a few other things. I also started on a vegetarian diet while in middle school and kept this up for at least a few years. I also ate a vegan diet for 2.5 years. I don't have clear symptoms from eating Vit A, but I do react strongly to proteins in dairy. I probably confounded these two variables and just attributed my positive symptoms from dairy avoidance to the vit a detox. Best of luck, please keep us updated if possible!
That is good @Arena. Now, according to the video, it isn't easy to know when your B12 is low, probably similar to how it isn't easy to know if your VA is high. They list 5 tests, and talk about "masking" that happens because of the supplementation of other b vities.
But perhaps B12 levels start to come up after a time off of VA. At least in people who can still absorb!
