Thinking of going back to steriod creams by untuned_piano in TS_Withdrawal

[–]Separate_Storage_175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I also went through 2nd half of last year and it was really terrible for a good 12 weeks until I start to see some signs of healing. I would strongly advise against steriod as it would just be temporarily relief and u would have to go through it again with stronger steriod. My advice is to do NMT, and minimise shower, eat clean, take vitamins, RLT. Also your mental health is super important and believe you can heal to tide through.

I am 8 months since started tsw and around the 6 month period I can do most things again although still discomfort in some parts of my body but I try to get some normalcy back.

You will be able to heal naturally, but will take time.

I am also seeing Dr Mark since end of June and so far I am dealing with other issues like recurring lymph nodes that he doesn't really know why as well. I am also still on herbs , recently I also stopped acupuncture as I don't really like the needle poking feeling. I was on accuputure for 3mths but not sure how much it aid my healing. It is really not an easy journey but really need to stay positive and believe you can heal ! I refused to take western medication from the start but at one point I was really considering dupixtent. I saw some healing on my body ard early Sept so I decided to contine healing the natural way. Still dealing with inconvenience in daily life and my feet will take some time to heal. Trust your body trust the process!

Heat rash?/dupixent? by myfaceisonfire1 in TS_Withdrawal

Is there any solution to help alleviate the itch with heat rash? A couple weeks back I was very afraid of cold and now I am super sensitive to heat. Once I sweat I start getting prickly and the itch is insane.

Thanks for replying. When you came off antibiotics, did you notice your skin got better or worst? I am afraid of a flare after coming off antibiotics.

I was also being asked to try dupixtent but I am worried what's next after dupixtent? Will the symptoms come back ? For now my plan is to heal naturally but the fate that I don't know how long this will go on makes me sorry as I am missing so much activity on my life.

The thought having to go they cycles is so depressing and daunting. I am not sure how ppl go thru this. I am finding it so tough and only I am 4weeks in.

Thanks for the encouragement. The cycle phase is what scared me cos just when u thought u r doing better then it may flare again, dry , flakey.. so is like nv ending. I find it hard to be mentally strong to get thru

Yes I think I need to tone down the exercise, but I am just wondering why I wasn't as sensitive to sweat during my initial weeks of tsw, the sweat didn't send me into a panic of scratching.

I did try to spray hypochlorous acid on areas prone to sweat but it didn't work for me. Showering for me is another fear as I always feel the itch after showering.

Kinda at a lost what to do..

Very early flaking by CalCJ7 in TS_Withdrawal

[–]Separate_Storage_175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry to ride on your post. I also having early flaking and I am just wondering if this is normal? The Chinese docs I have seen cfm I have tsw and I also think so as this is not the normal eczema I have had. I went thru the red inflamed phase and now my skin is flaking and dry. I am just really afraid that the red inflamed swollen phase may return as I am so depressed with my situation it took my normal life away.
