    How fantastic!!! I smiled the whole way through this video. I'm four years too! I think we started withdrawal only a week or so apart. It has been such a gift to witness your journey throughout it all and I feel like you're my most similar TSW buddy!! Congrats to you and to us!!

    Oh, thank you so much for this video! I am interested in whether I could use steroids again if I wanted to. I am so scared and anxious to use them now. Thanks for making this video.

    I went on hydrocortisone. I felt really bad to but I’m glad someone can relate.

      Oh gosh I totally forgot to do this hahah. Well hopefully that tells you all you need to know, I am healthy and doing great! I will do a video at some point to update on the stopping of the drugs. But all good, no complaints from me so definitely am 'healed' from TSW. x

    It's possible to wean off hydrocortisone slowly because it's not that strong.
    Informative video.

      I have only ever hydrocortisone .5-1 percent. I have maybe used 4-6 small tubes over 12 years. I cant tell if I’m currently in tsw or just eczema as it is worse then it has even been. Hadn’t had a flair in about 5 years and used the cream a few times now it’s worse. What are your thoughts?

    • @laniakeas92
      @laniakeas92 11 місяців тому

      @locky4809 it depends on how often you used the cream last two months.
      What happened before doesn't matter.
      Addiction only forms if you use an ointment each day for a month.
      If you make 3-4 days off - it won't lead to addiction.

    Did you have to take prednisone continually until methotrexate started working? Cause it took like 4 months to work?

    • @stephs7438
      @stephs7438  4 роки тому

      No I do not take prednisone. I am in steroid withdrawal as they caused the problems to begin with.

    Hi, just wondering if you experienced withdrawal again (or any reaction) after using hydrocortisone again? I'm 3 yrs in and always wondered what it would be like if I ever needed to rely on it!

    • @stephs7438
      @stephs7438  4 роки тому +1

      No I did not experience withdrawal again but bear in mind I am on immunosuppressants so this might have factored into it! Will be continuing to post about my experience as I taper off the medication.

      goddes sexy Hi yes, I used a small amount of hydrocortisone on my back to control a rash I got from my sportswear. All better now :)
