It’s been exactly one week since my divorce. It still doesn’t feel real. I had a heinous week at school and today, for some reason, I had a lot of children slip up and call me Mrs. Wren. I try not to get upset at them since that’s what I asked them to call me the… Continue reading Faceless Room
Nothing could have prepared me for yesterday. In all my 16 months of withdrawing, I had yet to meet another sufferer like myself. I have spoken to many online, sharing our stories and our journey through this nightmare, but never once had I met someone face to face. That’s not to say the offer has… Continue reading My First Encounter
May 25th! Today marks 16 months for me going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal. I am writing to you from England which makes this even more exciting! I will be here for a while visiting my in-laws. Jack and I haven’t been here since June 2014. Much overdo! Like most Red Skin Warriors, change is not… Continue reading 16 Months TSW
Yesterday, my time line reminded me how far I have come in this withdrawal battle. I think it still boggles minds when talking about a withdrawal that can last years at a time, literally. I’m at 15 months and 19 days. That is 476 days. That is 685, 440 minutes. And I’m not even finished… Continue reading What a Year Looks Like
I’ve passed the 300 day mark (310)! Not really exciting in general, but to see how far I’ve come is pretty mind-blowing. It’s been a long journey with some road still ahead, but it feels much easier to track now. Knock on wood I don’t regress. I am STILL waiting for my MRSA swab results.… Continue reading 10 MONTHS TSW
And the itch goes on… 9.5 months. It’s been annoying, to say the least. I am living at my mother’s house, my husband is away being a bad ass, my dance friends are shoulder rolling on different stages, and life seems to be flowing as normal all around me as I sit and wait… and… Continue reading 9.5 Months
Hey Guys! Here is my new video!! Sorry, this post is a bit late. These past few weeks have been a roller coaster. 1) My husband, Jack, has left for tour. He is now an Assistant Carpenter for Disney On Ice’s “Dare To Dream” show. I am so proud of him. I know it was… Continue reading 2/3 of a Year! (8 Months TSW)
Unreal! 6 months! I told my husband I wanted to get food and celebrate, but what a strange thing to celebrate?… I don’t really want to celebrate that I’ve been going through hell for 6 months and have no end in sight, but, I do want to celebrate my resolve. I can’t believe I’ve lasted… Continue reading WooHoo 6 Months
At this point in time, I don’t see much progress. I’m at a slight stand still. It’s tiring, but I just have to keep going. Topical Steroid Withdrawal gives you no rest. She is a relentless bi-atch. And, I ask anyone reading this (who isn’t going through TSW), to take charge of your health. Don’t… Continue reading 5.5 Months of the Merry Go Round
Wrote this a long time ago. But, it feels pretty present. Wings Like Eagles – May 2, 2011 Sometimes things happen in your life that you can’t control, no matter how hard you try. Sometimes you have to get going even when the going is tough. Sometimes you have to hit the floor in order… Continue reading Girl on Fire
