Very honest and refreshing. My baby girl just turned a year old. At 7 months I was doing TSW with her but she was absolutely in torture and unhappy. I finally caved and started her on steroid treatment again. She doesn't look like one big scab anymore (her face was the worst), she's laughing and playing again and doesn't cry so much like she would. Like you said, some people just need that extra medical help with their severe conditions. It hurts me to put it on her, it helps me knowing it makes her quality of life better & happier. <br />Good luck to the both of you. I know how hard this condition can be. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12491126478795074086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794679973231548452.post-88855988143015856072015-11-11T14:18:46.119-08:002015-11-11T14:18:46.119-08:00I still get hives, I think it is one of those &quo...I still get hives, I think it is one of those "less severe" manifestations of TSW. I say less severe loosely because it all depends on how inflamed and big the hives are. If you're managing 2 applications of Dr Aron's cream a day that is a decent achievement. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor. I'm probably lucky I haven't seen any of those "glorifying" TSW blogs.

I did 10 months TSW but it was absolute hell. Like you my skin was continuously infected (SA but not MRSA) which has just ended up in a period in hospital for staph infection in the blood, intravenous antibiotics for 2 weeks. Today I covered myself in Audovate RD. I have come to the conclusion that I cant do TSW. I am a strong healthy person and cant believe i managed 10 months but some things you just cant overcome. Life is too short to be bed ridden when we dont even know whether TSW can actually succeed (all Ive seen is anectdotal evidence). Other people have chronic medical conditions which need medication to function (diabetes, cancer, etc) and eczema, in some people, may be the same. My point is, some people just have cancer or diabetes and they cant get rid of it naturally - they need meds to control it. Maybe im the same. Hopefully the future will be kind twith new developments (Dupilumab etc) which will avoid need for steroids but otherwise, if applying the steroids mean you can live with some degree of normality, then we shouldnt be ashamed. I will take that any day over being bed ridden and unable to put clothes on. I do still intend to put the details in the blog that i started but havent got around to it.
