An account of my journey coming off 30 years of topical steroid use for eczema. My journey began on February 14th, 2013. Below are the three reasons I fought so hard to find an easier way through this!

Bad Times
Not sure I have the energy to keep blogging - looking back I see nothing but depressing posts - but after looking at other warrior posts, I guess this is the worst of times. It seems the first 4-6 months are the absolute worst. That makes sense. But I guess I wasn't expecting things to progressively worsen throughout this whole time. I was status quo for a little while, but the past month has just brought me back down to where I was emotionally in the beginning. I was doing OK but for some reason this week just weakened me emotionally - especially the last 3 days. Last night I broke down crying again - the pain seems to never end. My skin was just burning all over and I went to take a salt bath - just kept burning. When I went to rinse off, it burned even worse - something it has not done in the past. But then again we were staying over night at a hotel while visiting family in another city. At home here we have well water. I think the city water that is treated with chemicals caused the worsening burning of my skin. Oh well - another bad day - but I guess one more day closer to healing right?
