TSW Month 4

Recently, a member in the Ezcema group mentioned about moisturiser withdrawal (MW). And so I read up more on it. It seems that there are alot of people who did MW with TSW.

They explained it so well, so I am just going to link them here.

I used to moisturise like every 2 hourly in the day. Yesterday I tried to only moisturize once lightly with coconut oil. And true indeed, my skin feels very very dry and tight, almost felt being torn apart. I was in pain especially in my arms, hands, calves and feet.

So whatever the doctors said I didn't follow in the end...
Dr Chiam said 1. Don't scratch 2. Moisturise the moment you feel itchy 3. Take immunosuppressant.

I scratched very lightly to soothe the itch somewhat and at the same time not break the skin, I reduced moisturising to a very large extend and will try it for 1 month and see the progress and I have stopped all steriods and immunosuppressant since August 2015.

I may also reduce juicing to once a day. Currently, this is my timetable for month 4.

8.30 am - dead sea salt soak
9 am - cut fruits or a slice of bread and supplements (milk thistle, magnesium chlorate, probiotics)
11 am - lunch and tcm medicine
3 pm - cut fruits
6 pm - dinner and vegetable juice with chlorella powder, fish oil)
8 pm - Atarax (antihistamine pills)
9 pm - dead sea salt soak
9.30 pm - tcm medicine

Plenty of apple cider vinegar water and alkaline water throughout the day.

Today, I am 2.5 weeks into my MW days. I am very very happy with my progress. I even dared to eat prawn the other day! My foot was my most severely affected area...
