“forced to be in a position you don’t to be in” is probably so accurate to how a lot of tsw sufferers feel towards their dermatologist looking back on recordings I took at some of my lowest points, I can remember exactly how I felt in them. I didn’t feel strong, I felt beaten. I felt like tsw hadn’t just taken over my body but my life too. I was simply surviving, and struggling at that If only I could have given myself some hope in those dark days, which I hope this video can give to anyone suffering with tsw right now. I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and not recognise yourself anymore, or think that the person you once were isn’t coming back. I gave myself a 6 month dead line, to not just begin healing from tsw, but to have the confidence to be myself again. For weeks I had to be lifted out of bed, so to then be able to walk down the aisle as a bridesmaid for my brothers wedding in such a short space of time is a miracle I put a lot of stress and pressure on myself to get better, which is the wrong thing to do, but I felt I didnt have a choice. However now looking back, I feel my brothers wedding actually saved my life, because without that to hold onto, whos knows where I’d be today! #fyp #tsw #topicalsteroidwithdrawal #methotrexate #eczema #steriods #nevergiveup #dermatologist
