The healthcare system has failed me tremendously On November 22nd I began my journey with Topical Steroid Withdrawal TSW It felt like my skin was on fire and I ve had to rely on o v e r - t h e -counter medication to manage the unbearable itching Sleep became my refuge but it also meant missing out on consistent skincare This journey has pushed me to change everything my mindset my health habits and even removing toxic products from my home I even had cataract surgery in December due to the steroids Im sharing my story to raise awareness and let others know there s a way out Our bodies can do amazing things when given what they need If you have questions or want to share your own experiences feel free to reach out Let 's support each other I am documenting every moment.
