3 Years !!!!!

3 Years guys !!!! I don't know if anyone still reads this. But if anyone is here reading this I am happy to inform you that 3 years and 5 months later my eczema still hasn't fully returned !!!!!! I can now wear makeup and dye my hair. I can go to the beach and pools. I have an occasional flare up on my forehead or inside elbow or behind the knee (you know the usual spots) lol but nothing too serious where it affects my day. I can sleep I can eat basically whatever I want. I still use my CUREL Itch Defense Lotion! Seriously this lotion worked miracles for me. I have never stopped using it. Other than that I shower with shower gels any soaps I use tons of perfumes. Clothes doesn't bother my skin. If you are in this journey do not give up!! If anyone is here please comment <3

ONE YEAR AND TWO MONTHS OFF STEROIDS !

Hello everyone ! I AM SOOOO HAPPY ! As we all know around the one year mark of TSW your suppose to get a flare up. I DID NOT GET ONE. My eczema still hasn't came back. At least not severely. I've had my occasional dry skin under my eye or on my temple. Nothing too bad that my CUREL ANTI ITCH DEFENSE lotion couldn't handle. I am telling you guys please try this lotion. This is what has kept my eczema from coming back. I can honestly say its just the lotion helping me because my eating habits are poop and I STILL CANT STOP DRINKING PEPSI ! lol I know its bad. N I know I've kind of neglected my blog I've just been working and taking care of my daughter. Idk who even follows my blog anymore. God bless you guys and IT DOES GET BETTER ! DO NOT GIVE UP !

Almost 6 Months into Withdrawal

Wow I haven't posted here in a long time. I am glad to say I am doing good. My eczema is not completely gone and I do have minor flare ups here and there but I am so much better!!! I can sleep at night without needing any pills. I even got a JOB :D I am still using the CUREL ITCH DEFENSE lotion. I highly recommend it! My face does have some spots from where I had scratched off my skin. I have eyebrows lol I can also wear perfume and use shower scrubs without it making me itchy. I even went to the pool and was able to get in the water with minor itching. I know my TSW is not over yet. I always have the fear my eczema will get bad again out of nowhere like it did back in September :/ But for now I am ok. My eating habits are poor and I drink soda all the time. Maybe with summer right around the corner I will drink more water.

4 months !

Hi people I know its been a while. I am doing good. I've been having minor flare ups. I can now sleep and started working :D I am less stressed and still eat all the junk I want. I drink soda all the time. I still use the CUREL ITCH DEFENSE LOTION. I think this lotion has really helped !

2 months !!! :D

January 9th marks my 2 months into withdrawal ! I am sooo happy that Ive made it this far. I cant lie my eczema has gotten extremely better and I can go the whole day without itching. I do scratch a lot at night. Yesterday I bought Unisom sleep gels because I still cant sleep at night. And they worked marvelously but I cant make it a habit. I stopped drinking my tea because I really didn't think It was making a difference. My Curel lotion however has maintained my face less dry. Ive been drinking soda the past two days :( I cant help it im addicted but I cut down on the portions. Now im also looking at nutrition facts and checking the sugar content. Can you believe in just 2 oreos you have 26 grams of sugar like WTFF lol So Im watching how much sugar I eat maybe that's also helping. I don't want to be so overly joyed about my improvement because I know another bad flare up is just around the corner.

I have a question ?

Hello everyone. Im not sure if anyone even reads my blogs because I have no comments :/ lol But I would like to know if anybody knows why the second or third flare up during withdrawal is suppose to be the worst one? If anybody replies I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and once again Happy New Years Eve :)

About 7 months into 1st withdrawal

December 2012 about 7 months into withdrawal (unknowingly) I got a job in Taco Bell. I still had eczema but it was slowly becoming less.

Eyebrows drawn on because I still didn't have lol

Valentines Day :) Feb 2013 and as you can see my eczema was basically almost gone.

Feb 22 2013 and my eyebrows were growing back my face and arms were ECZEMA FREE

So happy I could wear makeup and as you can see my eyebrows grew too much lol

ECZEMA FREE June 2013

 

I continued with no Eczema the whole summer until September when I started getting a few spots in my inner elbows forehead and neck. That's when I went to P.R and it didn't spread and when I came back here September 20th is when it got bad. (VIEW MY FIRST FEW POSTS)
