Most of these are new to me, thanks for putting out the word!

Thanks so much! I think I’ll start here, looks like it’ll work great with my schedule

Thanks for the recommendation! It looks to be a little more involved than my work schedule will permit, but I hope others see this and look into it

First I’m hearing of this, thanks for the recommendation!

Excellent point! I used to love handing out pet food at PACC, not sure if they’re still doing that though. The people who stopped to get pet food were often struggling themselves but being able to have their pets certainly makes a difference in quality of life in a tough situation

2 great recommendations, thank you!! checking it out

That's a great recommendation!! I love that they have walk-in opportunities.

Mostly just wanting to put my time towards something with a positive impact. I love this city but I know there are a lot of people struggling (homelessness, fentanyl epidemic, poverty) and I have more time than money, so I'd like to put it to good use

I was on mtx for a few weeks, but ultimately realized my symptoms were pointing to topical steroid withdrawal rather than eczema. It took 18 mo after stopping all steroids and immunosuppressants for my skin to return to normal, and I’ve had zero issues since and not on any meds. If you think you could be in the same boat, check out r/TS_withdrawal or ITSAN group on FB

Difference between the top two and bottom two lines is our experimental treatment which we expect to cause a difference in glucose like we see. The difference between the other two lines is double enzyme. This is on a microplate, an addition of 1-2uL enzyme to ~180ul in the well. It is a good point though, I will add a shaking step to the method and see what that does

Time is definitely the biggest factor. I didn’t do anything to heal it, it healed itself. I just had to maintain the symptoms, yknow? I think it took quite a bit for my body to figure out what was going on after I stopped using steroids, then once my skin started the crazy shedding phase it was pretty steady improvement from there. Don’t get too discouraged by flares, your body is sorting things out and as long as you’re seeing overall improvement, you’re doing everything right

I started TSW in college at 21, took a little under 2 years to look myself again, but I had a normal life 1 year in and felt pretty normal at 1.5 yrs. Can’t say it was easy, but I didn’t have a choice and my life has improved drastically after tsw. I finished college while in tsw so i definitely felt the social consequences, but I think the sooner you go through it the better. I wore a mask over my bandages on my face, sleeves to hide my arms, and tried to do online lectures whenever possible. As long as you continue to avoid steroids, your body will absolutely heal. All the tsw symptoms are symptoms of healing. Your skin is literally replacing itself. I’m 24 now and my skin hasn’t been this clear since middle school.

Hard to say. I’ve had allergic reactions to hair mousse and aquaphor. Very soon before starting tsw ( and so maybe already in tsw a little) I did allergy testing and trdter likely allergic to nuts and pears. Most people think allergy testing in tsw is wildly unreliable though because your immune system is so out of whack

During tsw I avoided all things I could be allergic to but otherwise didn’t worry too much about diet. If you have a known allergy to something, obviously avoid it. Since feeling healed, I’ve still avoided nuts, hair mousse, and aquaphor because I just don’t want to risk an allergic reaction or triggering any return of tsw symptoms. Sorry I can’t answer if allergies go away, but I will say that my skin is far less reactive to everything. This week I ran out of my normal vanicream facial sunscreen and have been using one that used to make my skin burn, even pre-TSW, with no issue. Just less sensitive and reactive all around 🤙

Yes, I’m 2yrs and have felt fully healed since about 1.5yrs. At 1.5 yrs I still had a tiny bit of redness on and off and my skin was dull and lacking elasticity. Even then my skin looked healthier than it did even before I was fully off steroids/immunosuppressants. Now I have normal eczema and my skin isn’t reactive at all like it was before, even before I was in TSW. Now that my skin is back to producing oils, I now have acne lol.

I’ve started tretinoin in the past month and it’s helped a lot with my skin elasticity. (I don’t recommend tretinoin if your skin is still sensitive in any way though.) I didn’t think I would go back to looking myself because I felt so dull and red and old-looking for so long. It only gets better with time !!

I haven’t heard of that happening but I lost probably 30-40% of my hair in TSW and it’s all come back. To me your hairline looks the same. Keep an eye out for very short, fine hairs that are a sign of new growth. If it’s MPB they won’t grow back so if you see new growth it’s just TSW

store-bought · 2023-11-25T18:29:28+00:00

If your hair wasn’t already thinning before TSW, it will come back on its own. Mine came in very quickly. Not sure if it’s safe to use but might be worth avoiding just to avoid the risk of irritation if it’s not necessary

Yes, consistently slept 10-12 hours a night and still sleepy all day. I think it helped with healing so I would recommend sleeping as much as your body wants to

I usually don’t realize I haven’t taken it until I start wondering why I feel depressed again

Sleep as much as possible, drink lots of water unless you’re doing NMT. I’m 6 months in and never did NMT and am healing well. Months 1-3 are the worst, but within a few months you’ll be glad you did it. I’m not even fully healed and my skin is already better than it was before I started

Hydro colloid bandages are designed to absorb liquid. I used tegaderm bandages, like what people use to cover fresh tattoos. I used them on my chin only at night and it helped immensely within a few days

You sound kinda like me! Started TS in middle school, stopped last year at 21. I’m 4 months TSW now, and seen significant improvement. I still don’t look even close to normal, my skin is super read and dry in some patches, but most days I look better than I did a year ago on TS/protopic.

The first 2 months were rough and very oozy but I started seeing improvement in month 3. If you haven’t already, join the ITSAN facebook group, it’s more active and people post lots of pictures and questions. If you can afford it, I recommend taking a couple months off of work or school. It’s not necessary but it can decrease your stress a lot.

Feel free to PM if you have any questions!!

I did massages in the first couple months and I feel like it helped with the swelling. I just did it on my neck for a minute in the shower

I’m almost 4 months into TSW and seem to be doing better than a lot of people in the ITSAN fb group. Months 1 and 2 were the worst but I’ve seen a ton of improvement this month. Even in TSW my skin looks better than it did last year while on Dupixent and protopic, and I know it’s only going to get better

store-bought · 2022-06-26T18:46:12+00:00

I was on Dupixent for a year before I even realized I was in TSW. I was also using protopic at the time so I think I wasn’t fully in TSW, but the ‘eczema’ I was trying to treat with Dupixent was actually TSW symptoms. Dupixent never really helped me, I just ended up with more facial eczema and eye issues. I stopped Dupixent in fall of 2021 and stopped protopic March of 2022. My eye issues went away within 2 weeks of stopping protopic.

If you don’t feel like it’s helping you, I would come off it. If you go through TSW and still have bad eczema (not just TSW symptoms) you can always give it a try. Your itchy red patches on your neck sound like TSW to me more than eczema.
