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

5.5 Months of the Merry Go Round

July 15, 2015 brianarachelle233 Comments

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

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

Girl on Fire

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

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)

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

Cruise Life — TSW Days (70-83)

April 20, 2015April 20, 2015 brianarachelle23Leave a comment

I’m Back!!! I was gone from April 4th till April 18th aboard the Oasis of the Seas. This was not for a vacation, but to work. I was on nighttime rehearsals (from 12am to 8am) helping to install a Royal Caribbean show. To be honest, I was petrified that my skin would go crazy, that… Continue reading Cruise Life — TSW Days (70-83)

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
