Some cold hard honesty; if I had have known one year ago what I would have had to go through with topical steroid withdrawal and still after a year be the way I am, I seriously don't know if I would have chosen to do this. The multitude of lifestyle sacrifices, the serious costs involved, the constant sickness and discomfort... It is a huge toll especially when the goal is years away. I guess the good thing is that I never have to relive that last year ever again which is a relief in itself. And for that, I throw a solo punch in the air.
The fact that I have made it this far is un-effing-believable. The last year of my life is basically a write off which I am not sure is a good thing yet or not. The fact that I am still pretty much covered from head to toe in eczema probably means I am far away from being healed so who knows how much more of my life I will have to donate to this process. Though I have identified the one huge factor to my healing right now, one of the few joys I still have in life; my dog. I will talk more on this in my proper post coming up.
