If you ever feel like you’ve been medically gaslighted before for the systemic adverse reactions that occur once you’ve withdrawn from Topical Steroids, then this is for you.
It’s a thing, it exists and it’s called Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW).
In this episode, we speak with one of Jacinta’s clients Jordan Hendey all about his journey from Topical Steroid Addiction, to being hospitalised for blood infections, to then moving to Thailand to receive treatment for TSW.
Unfortunately in this space, so many individuals are suffering with severe symptoms that are impacting their quality of life and they’re just being told “it’s your eczema flaring, go back on the steroids”.
When the reality is, TSW is nothing like eczema and steroids aren’t the long term solution.
Jordan share’s with us:
- The timeline of eczema to TSW
- Debunking myths around steroids, eczema and TSW
- The signs/symptoms of TSW
- Treatments available for TSW
- How to control infection with TSW
- Importance of eliminating environmental toxins and pollutants in recovery
- CAP treatment in Thailand and Jordan's Recovery
- Testing Jordan completed to find more answers as to what is going on internally and how to optimise his skin repair
- Support groups available for those with TSW
