“It was like voluntary torture because you can't sleep, can't socialize, you can't move properly”⁣
⁣
“I genuinely thought my life was over when I stopped taking steroids and my face was that red dragon skin.”⁣
⁣
Laura was in her 20’s socialising, partying, enjoying life⁣
Her eczema came back with a vengeance⁣
The Dr prescribes steroids⁣
⁣
Laura slathered steroids all over her body⁣
This suppressed the inflammation and rashes⁣
Easy solution right?!⁣
⁣
UNTIL...⁣
⁣
“It was at the peak when everything was locked down.  ⁣
I hadn't used any steroids and I couldn't get more. ⁣
I was panicking, then obviously started to go through Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)⁣
⁣
I was severely unwell, it was one of the most difficult periods in my life.⁣
I thought it was the end of my life. ⁣
I'll never be able to do anything ever again. ⁣
⁣
Even by the end of the eight months ⁣
the skin was still flaky and broken⁣
I just felt really inadequate.⁣
⁣
I remember having quite a lot of battles with my femininity. ⁣
I didn't feel like a woman with my skin.”⁣
⁣
⁣
Have you been through TSW?⁣
Or feel like you get a flare up every time you stop steroids?⁣
I’d love to hear your experience.⁣

Moral of the story?⁣
Use steroids responsibly (only short term).⁣
So you don’t have to go through the torture of TSW like Laura.⁣
⁣
Guess what...⁣
Even after going through TSW⁣
You still need to deal with the initial problem⁣
The inflammation that caused the eczema in the first place.⁣
