The pic over there to the left is me in May 2023. 17 months into Topical Steroid Withdrawal and doing MUCH better! But... it has not been an easy road, in fact, it's been the hardest journey I've ever been on. Let me take you back a bit to the beginning. I'm sure there will be many things you can relate to, and, if you are seeing this page at the very first days of your own withdrawal journey, please, do not let this instill fear in you or depressive thoughts... I'm here to provide hope. My goal in sharing my story, and the stories of other TSW warriors, is to provide resources and guidance to our community, and, hopefully, spread awareness that will one day put an end to this miserable and preventable condition once and for all.
