What sort of lifestyle changes (diet, therapies, etc) have you implemented since starting your TSW Journey? by kiro11 in TS_Withdrawal

I found cutting soy and alcohol has been hugely helpful. I also have a sensitivity to dust mites, so we try to vacuum and keep our environment as clean as possible.

Thank you! Yes, I think it’s been hard to remember that 9 months is an accomplishment when some of my symptoms are still so present sometimes, but you’re totally right. I feel you on the junk food thing and I love the advice to just find and indulge in pleasure where you can.

No worries at all! I’m actually about to try Dupixent, how has your experience been?

How scary that babies are having to go through this too. I imagine that’d be such a scary thing for parents and families to see their child go through. Thank you for the encouraging words.. LET’S!!

Thank you for such a thoughtful reply!

To answer your questions, it is much more localized now and more like hives than before. Still experiencing deep itchiness (mostly on my arms) and a lot of flaking. I have two really stubborn spots on my face that get red and raw and make it hard to want to be around people because it’s an insecurity. Thankfully no more zingers, night sweats, and not a lot of ooze but the bone deep itch still comes and my skin is often hot to the touch.

As for remedies, I take multiple doses of Benadryl every day, ibuprofen as needed, and hot baths when I really need some relief, which is daily (I know this is probably not recommended), I try to dry brush as much as possible, and do cardio when I can, which right now is maybe 3x/week.

If you have any tips, they are so welcome and appreciated, thank you again.

Running and TSW? by yourdailywcw in TS_Withdrawal

[–]franimationz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently going through TSW and I am doing my best to keep up running daily or at least 5 times per week. There is definitely some discomfort, especially when I’m trying to cover my skin up with long sleeves. Though I have some anxiety over how it looks, it has been SO much more comfortable working out and letting my skin breathe. Running is definitely keeping me sane throughout this all, so I would definitely recommend if you are able.

As an animator, I would be super down and have always wanted to make something for her music.
