As many know, I am not the only one who is suffering from Red Skin Syndrome and Topical Steroid Withdrawal. Beth, a wonderful human being, decided to share her story with me. However, it is very unique. She has never used topical steroids frequently, but has been on oral steroids for a long time. Check… Continue reading A RSS Interview 2016 (I)
Hello kiddies. So, 13 months in and I’m slowly but surely progressing. I still have problem areas (ankles, hands, knees, and parts of my face), and that plastic skin is still hanging around, but I feel so much better than I did a year ago. I can’t believe it’s been 13 months, but I have… Continue reading 13 Months TSW
Hey guys, So I am feeling SO much better after that ER visit at the end of December. I finished up the antibiotics and started to get some of my energy back.

It’s so slow to heal, slow like the line you wait in at the DMV to get your name changed. I’ve yet to do that — get my name changed.… Continue reading 11.5 months TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal)

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
