My Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome Story

I wrote about my own topical steroid withdrawal syndrome (TSWS) journey about 8 years ago. I will never forget the trauma and intensity of that 27 month, dark night in my life. I am committed to telling my story everywhere I go and to help raise awareness of TSWS and to help prevent this preventable travesty in other people's lives. Hubpages recently promoted my article to the "Patient's Lounge" which will raise views and reach more people! Yay! Read my story and see my pics here.

Safer Non-Steroid Treatment for Nail Psoriasis



National Psoriasis Foundation is well aware of the effective topical steroid drug but also acknowledges the damages it may cause. The vitamin D based ointment is being researched more but showed higher percentages of effectiveness than steroids. As National Eczema Association just published their quest for safer eczema treatments, so does the NPF. I hope that this will increase the awareness of Red Skin Syndrome as well and new methods of treatment for many skin ailments will be offered first rather than topical steroids.
