Photos 2013

Now knowing what TSW is, I will survive the whole journey and heal fully!!!! Initially I WATER FASTED (for 25 days) thinking this would be my cure to eczema but after I started eating again my flares came up again, later I found out about Red Skin Syndrome/Topical Steroid Withdrawal!

So my eczema got worse because the day I started water fasting was the day I also stopped topical steroids, hence the Red Skin Syndrome/Topical Steroid Withdrawal symptoms were popping up. 

Fasting actually helped flatten my eczema, as you can see the bumps have disappear and turned into red flat skin later... until I started eating again and things just went down hill from then...

  2. @Mike Lee, Hi Mike, I had a diluted vegetable juice of apple and carrot then later I ate an tomato. I didn't break the fast well enough, the next few days I had pieces of fruit, crackers and miso soup. Next time I would go on fruit juices and high water content fruits for a week first.
