Month 3 ~ March 2016

My skin became very dry and painful, but I was happy that the oozing was less. In this month a very good friend of mine passed away, so it was a very emotional month for me. But my skin was for sure better than in february. What I was really sad about and still am, are my eyes. The skin under my eyes is very thick. Big rings under my eyes. Sleeping was still terrible. Itch and pain was also horrible. But is all a bit less than in february.

Month 19 ~ July 2017

So... TSW Month 19!! It is still super difficult! My skin heals on some days but overall I dont feel good. Tired, still no sleep at nights, sleep during the morning and day (from 07:00 till 14:30 pm). I know it is bad to sleep during the day, but whatever I do, I just don't sleep at night!! I am still at home most of the time. I miss life, but I know I have to hold on and that it will be better. I think that my adrenals are tired, weak and I think that is the reason I dont feel well. I just dont know how to solve it! LDN I started LDN 6 weeks ago and I have to be honest. I have side effects from it.

My dose is super low, started at 0,04 mg, and went up to 0,56 mg, but somehow it doesn't feel good. But I know I have to give this a chance. It can take 3 till 6 months or even longer, to se...

Hello TSW Survivors! (introduction)

Hi and welcome to my blog. This in an introduction post. I am 17,5 months into Topical Steriod Withdrawal (TSW). An illness/condition you get when you stop using steriods, like cremes or oral steriods (like prednison). I think it is time to make a blog about my journey so far and ofcourse update it further in the next months. What you need to know about me: - I am 30 years old and I am living in The Netherlands - I am 17,5 months into TSW - I have Lyme disease - English is not my native language, so mistakes will be there ;) - I did not use a lot of steriods, but tried a lot the last 9 years. So actually I used it 9 years. Not much or every day (or a longer period of time), because it never helped, so I got new ones everytime, but never used much of it. However, in 2015 I got an allergic reaction and decided to use prednison in combination with Dermovate (4) and Elidel. I used the creme every day for 4 months. That was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, because it made me ver...

Month 6 ~ June 2016

Although I had my rough days, I was getting more energy, sleep was getting better and skin was healing. It was time to have some hope again! My neck completely healed, no wound there anymore! Face and wrinkles also looked a bit better, but my face is still a big problem nowadays, so my face is always kind of a weak spot. Also my shoulders got a big rash.But still: June was a good month. I thought TSW was over haha!
