"It was like torture.. I genuinely thought my life was over" - Laura's Interview

When you’re prescribed steroids for eczema they don’t give you the disclaimer:
... you’ll be tempted to continue to take this cream that stops the awful itch and painful rash
… but you might get Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) if you use them long term
... when your skin might get worse than your original eczema
Look I have nothing against Dr’s
They’re only using the tools they have
TSW awareness is only just being recognised by some conventional medicine practitioners
Laura’s such a good example of what can happen
“In my 20’s I started to get little patches on my arms in the back of my legs.
I went to the doctor's and I decided to take some steroids for it.
From there?
My eczema got worse and worse
I was using stronger and stronger steroids.
It was a downward spiral.”
Then lockdown happened, she couldn’t get more steroids
“My whole face blew up 🔥
I was covered in these sores
You can't sleep, can't socialize, you can't move properly”
Laura realised she was going through TSW
“It was like voluntary torture
There were some pretty bleak times
I thought it was the end of my life.
I'll never be able to do anything ever again.”
Nine months later?
Laura started to see improvement
“But the skin was still flaky and broken
I just felt really inadequate.”
So she started Dupixent
Which gave her a break from TSW
Exactly what she needed at that time in her life
Then she realised?
“My values don’t align with injecting it into my stomach every 2 weeks”
Next?
More withdrawals from Dupixent, there were a few dark weeks
Now?
She has to deal with the eczema she was diagnosed with years ago
