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!

Woo- Hoo!!! I Broke A SWEAT!!!!!!
Sorry to put out a second post, but I am psyched!!!! I got on my elliptical today - like I have every day since last week when hubby put it together for me. I was going to only do 5 minutes a day for the first week and go up slowly, but my body seems to crave the exercise. I have been increasing almost daily - yesterday I was up to 15 minutes. But was not sweating - have yet to sweat all these months in TSW. But yesterday I felt tingling under my skin in my neck, underarms, chest, and back. It felt like my body wanted to sweat but couldn't. So today I got on and at the 17 minute mark I was going to cool down and call it a day - but then "Push It" came on my mix by Salt-N-Pepa. So I did just that - I pushed it - I near sprinted the whole song and half way through I broke a sweat on my forehead and chest!!!! It wasn't pouring down my face or anything but it was wet! I have never been so excited to sweat in all my life!! I actually feel good enough to take a shower! Now that's progress!! Of course I may wake up tomorrow in pain and ooze and crap like that, but right now I don't care! I am just so happy to have my body start working!
