Day 518- Day 548: Month 18 Topical Steroid Withdrawal


(August 2015)

Lots of food flares this month.  I experimented with different foods that are on my list.  Some of them didn't give me hell until eating them for 2-3 days.  The last day was a reaction to a beef stew I made.  It did me IN.  A lot of the pictures where I am REALLY red are just after a shower.  I take VERY hot showers because it burns the itch away.  Feels amazing and doesn't scratch the skin.  I've heard it's "not good for your skin" but I don't care haha
