7 Months (2 Weeks Moisture Withdrawal)

August 21, 2015August 21, 2015 brianarachelle232 Comments

7 MONTHS OF T.S.W. To state I am in hell is an understatement. I am now 7 months into TSW and 2 weeks into Moisture Withdrawal. My body HATES this. I see a slight improvement on 2 or 3 spots on my face where ooze was much more prevalent 2 weeks ago, but other than… Continue reading 7 Months (2 Weeks Moisture Withdrawal)

6.5 Months and Moisture Withdrawal

August 9, 2015August 9, 2015 brianarachelle237 Comments

6.5 Months I feel I have hit a wall. I kept having the same day over and over again as if in a dream. I’d wake up, take my bath and take all the crust and skin off to find that by the end of the day, the crust was back. I am a human… Continue reading 6.5 Months and Moisture Withdrawal

WooHoo 6 Months

July 28, 2015 brianarachelle231 Comment

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

5 Hefty Months

June 28, 2015 brianarachelle232 Comments

The longer time passes, the more permanent this condition seems to be. It’s crazy to think that almost half of a year has gone by and I am still in this hell, all from using topical steroids that a doctor prescribed me. They are so dangerous. Topical steroids can destroy your life. FACE/SCALP/NECK As you… Continue reading 5 Hefty Months

IV. V Months

June 13, 2015 brianarachelle235 Comments

Time is flying! Strangely, I have become a bit used to this limbo way of life. I’m in between getting better, but not enough to be back to normal. Annoying, right? However, after the crappy cold I had this week (Sunday- Wednesday), I felt a huge surge of energy. I cleaned the entire house, even… Continue reading IV. V Months

4 flippin’ flaky months!

May 27, 2015May 29, 2015 brianarachelle23Leave a comment

      I can’t believe it’s been 4 months. I don’t know how people can live with this for YEARS. Four months is already torture enough. Since shaving my head, I have been trying to get the dryness down. Not going as fast as I had hoped, but I am doing the best I… Continue reading 4 flippin’ flaky months!

TSW: V for Vendetta (3.5 Mark)

May 14, 2015May 16, 2015 brianarachelle232 Comments

Another update! My body is definitely changing in and out of stages. Hopefully for the better!! However, 3 days ago, May 13th, 2015, I did the unthinkable. I chopped off all of my hair. Now, that doesn’t seem very epic to some people. To be honest, it shouldn’t be. However, I had VERY LONG hair. I… Continue reading TSW: V for Vendetta (3.5 Mark)

A Full 3 Months

May 1, 2015May 1, 2015 brianarachelle234 Comments

April 25th, 2015 marked 3 months of my TSW journey. It’s been quite a ride, one that I do wish would end. Progress: or lack their of… After debarking the cruise, I hoped my face would stay the same. Something about the cruise ship air made my skin a bit more bearable. However, since I’ve… Continue reading A Full 3 Months

TSW Days 55-66

April 2, 2015 brianarachelle233 Comments

Before I leave for two weeks on a work trip (yup, cross your fingers for me!), I wanted to post my progress. From an oozing standpoint, it’s still been a struggle. However, I now have Sudocrem that I wrap up with for my arms and legs. I’ll put it on my face as well if… Continue reading TSW Days 55-66

Bottom of the Barrel – Month 2 TSW

March 23, 2015March 24, 2015 brianarachelle23Leave a comment

** Disclaimer – these photos are very graphic ** My 2nd month of TSW is coming to a close. Can not believe it has only been 6o days (56 to be exact). It feels like a lifetime longer.  On the field, we have four major players (in order of torture): Ooze, dry skin, itch, burn… Continue reading Bottom of the Barrel – Month 2 TSW
