MSM, NAC, glutathione and ....?<br />I have been using MSM from the beginning and also used DMSO topically for the first 3 weeks until the pain became unbearable. I have not mentioned the dmso to anyone (as it is controversial in general but I have used it in the past) but I believe it reduced my initial flare significantly (symptoms were less than last time I went through TSW). It stopped the ooze and swelling but not the red burning. Once I stopped using it I got worse.<br /><br />I also take reishi mushroom extract as an anti inflammatory and immunomodulator and silica for skin replenishment.

On the less suffering part, it really is becoming obvious that not moisturizing during tsw contributes significantly in this area. More so than anything else. <br /><br />You also said, "I read the forums and see the pictures and cry for all those suffering". I know exactly what you mean and have felt the same pain. I've tried to reach out to people and help them. Again, moisturizing is the main culprit for the extreme and prolonged discomfort.<br /><br />I really don't think many people understand the importance of this information as it pertains to the overall comfort levels during the recovery of tsw. <br /><br />My tsw has been a breeze since stopping moisturizers, even at my worst times like right now in the middle of my third or fourth flare. The whole process of tsw just hasn't been anywhere near as bad as it was when I was using moisturizers. It was nightmarish then, like what I read in peoples blogs.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567005251093371248noreply@blogger.com
