April 23, 2013 - I learn about TSW

Itching becoming unbearable.  I find ITSAN and pour over TSW sufferers testimonies.  I becomes obvious that Zyrtec had little or nothing to do with my symptoms and that I am addicted to topical steroids.  I break down with mixed emotions.  I am give hope that there is a cure, but I am horrified to learn that once I stop steroids my symptoms could not only get worse, but that my recovery could take years.  I am determined to give this a shot and I stop all steroids.
