Life Without Steroids | Posts from a cynical eczema sufferer trying out diet manipulation as a way to eliminate the need for topical steroids - Posts from a cynical eczema sufferer trying out diet manipulation as a way to eliminate the need for topical steroids

  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/cream_get_the_money/ CREAM, GET THE MONEY | Life Without Steroids - Steroid-wise I've been prescribed, at different times, Hydrocortisone Cream, Hydrocortisone Ointment, Betamethasone, Fucibet (Fucidic Acid with Betamethasone), Fucidin, Fucidin H, Eumovate (Clobetasone Butyrate), Betadine, Betacap (Betamethasone Valerate), Elocon (Mometasone Furoate), ClobaDerm Ointment (Clobetasol Propionate), Protopic (Tacrolimus Monohydrate), Daktacort (Hydrocortisone and Miconazole Nitrate) and Betnovate. Then there are the emollient creams Cetraben and Diprobase, the Capasal shampoo (Salicylic Acid, Coconut Oil, and…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/inspiration/ Inspiration | Life Without Steroids - "Nobody knows!" - The response from my GP when I asked what the potential long-term side effects of using Protopic are, recommended to me by two dermatologists. "I started following this diet two and a half years ago, and gave up topical steroids. For the first weeks it got worse, and two months in it…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/to-take-on/ To Take Up | Life Without Steroids - For everything I give up to detoxify and attempt to get the eczema under control, here are my ideas for things to start eating/using. Some of these are for the eczema itself, but some are just morale-boosting counterparts to some of the things I'll be saying goodbye to. Rye bread - Done Millet - Done Shea…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/to-give-up/ To Give Up | Life Without Steroids - The plan is...I'm going to give something up and take something on on alternate days. Guided by The Oracle, here's a relatively rough-and-ready list of things I'm going to try and give up as part of a slow detoxification process. Coffee - Done Cow's Milk Cow's Cheese Protopic Diprobase Simple Face Cream Whisky Vodka Ale Lager White…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/day-61-giving-up-facebook-lactose-hiatus/ Day 61 – Giving up Facebook / Lactose / Hiatus | Life Without Steroids - For the next four weeks I've made the decision to put this blog on hold - I'm doing what-sounds-like an extremely intensive course, and I'm wiping out all my other commitments for it.A couple of reflections on the last 61 days. I'm still, overall, delighted that I've managed to limit myself to only using my…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/day-41-stress-detox-77/ Day 41 – Stress Detox 7/7 | Life Without Steroids - Some scratching last night, although I "caught" it before it got too bad. It had just spread to my elbows, neck and hands...but then I chilled it out with lots of cold running water and applied my Dermol cream to prevent infection, as has been my ritual for most of the past weeks.This morning there…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/day-6-taking-up-sheeps-yoghurt/ Day 6 – Taking Up Sheep’s Yoghurt | Life Without Steroids - This is bloody great - oats, millet, cinnamon, set honey, aaaand sheep's yoghurt, replacing cow's yoghurt. I can feeeeel the nutrients coming in from this nourishing breakfast, and it tastes absolutely terrific. This is a massive win for Oracle, who "invented" this breakfast. The sheep's yoghurt tastes fantastic and leaves me no desire whatsoever to…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/day-60-hard-floors/ Day 60 – Hard Floors | Life Without Steroids - Roll into bed 2:30am last night after a (very pleasant) night on the beers hanging out with my brother and sister after what feels like an eternity.So alcohol level high, I ate late, fast, and with cheese, my skin had rather dried out over the day, and I was sleeping in a new place -…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/day-59-salad/ Day 59 – Salad? | Life Without Steroids - Horrendous scratching on my hands and arms last night... Then woke up depressed and stressed...had a shower and scratched in it...always a very bad sign. If I focus, I am *always* capable of not scratching in the shower, and then once I'm out and dry and have applied shea butter I have at least 3…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/day-58-tread-water/ Day 58 – Tread Water | Life Without Steroids - I think I'm coming back to, or arriving at, a "treading water" phase - where I'm hopefully holding all of the things I've given up at bay, and also using steroids but infrequently...and at low strengths.Today I was in a foul mood and did have some scratch outbursts...mid afternoon was the one. Last night was…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/day-13-giving-up-chocolate/ Day 13 – Giving up Chocolate | Life Without Steroids - Big flare-up this morning...suspicions for the cause...- Chinese meal last night - I avoided the rice (which is supposed to be acidifying) and stuck to just vegetables, with plenty of greens, in an attempt to keep it eczema-friendly, but of course the veg was drowned in such a sweet sauce (containing...?) that any benefit of…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/day-9-giving-up-wheat-bread-at-home/ Day 9 – Giving Up Wheat Bread (At Home) | Life Without Steroids - Good news!After my scare that I might be allergic to carrots and avocados because of a quite immediate reaction to them when making a salad a few days back I tried eating an avocado again today. (The background here is: these are foods I may have felt a twinge with in the past but dismissed…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/day-57-shower-scratching/ Day 57 – Shower Scratching | Life Without Steroids - Woke up on the morning of Day 57 morning but delayed my shower - this is almost always a bad idea for my eczema. A few hours after getting up, and after some scratching, I got in and thought that would be the end of the itching - with my current focus showering has been…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/day-56-tasks/ Day 56 – Tasks | Life Without Steroids - No booze, no caffeine and no sugar on Day 56, so that's good.However, in terms of triggers I think stress is probably an even more significant one than any of the above. Stress is almost unavoidable at the moment. I feel like I have an astonishingly large amount of equally-important tasks to do, each large…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/06/17/day-3-giving-up-cheddar-cheese/ Day 3 – Giving Up Cheddar Cheese | Life Without Steroids - This one's a big one for me. I eat cheddar cheese almost every single day, and would eat it with every meal if I allowed myself. It goes with pasta, bulks up a sandwich, works with a veg couscous, and...most guiltily...sliced and melted on top of marmite toast. The latter is my chosen farewell-to-cow's-cheese meal.I…
  • https://lifewithoutsteroids.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/day-55-time/ Day 55 – Time | Life Without Steroids - To relieve the sleep deprivation and mild hangover of yesterday's disastrous video game marathon, I had a coffee this morning. This neatly takes me right back to Day 1 of my eczema diet, and in a way I'm ready to start again.There are interesting time/convenience implications of using my various creams and oils. On the morning…

  • David Feder - Have loved them pre CSN

    Have loved them pre CSN, and post CSNY. Stills can really play and the Crosby/Nash vocals are beautiful. Lyrics a bit naive, but heart is in the right place.

  • Kate - Awesome, definitely effective

    I took the GRE last year with only the ETS preparation materials, and didn't realize until I read this book how many little tricks there are when it comes to the GRE. It's about strategy, and not so much about what you know. I used this book along with 'The GRE Test for Dummies' and between the two, my score went up significantly.

  • Timothy Brunkow - Clean Up

    The remover is okay and recommended by the manufacturer of 3M plastic that I am trying to remove. Has a very fast evaporation rate and you need to work fast with a blade.

  • Sally - Hallmark Card Studio 2011 is the worst card program I've ever purchased.

    I used American Greetings CreateaCard programs for years and found them easy to use and reliable. They weren't compatible any more with my version of Windows, so I bought Hallmark Card Studio 2011. I like to create my own cards and use a lot of my personal photos and clip art. This is the most difficult and time consuming program I have ever used. Text takes forever to pick the font and font size. The program is very quirky. I hate everything about it. Now, all of my saved projects have been deleted and not by me.

  • fifthday - but did buy one here locally that was right handed and I LOVE it. Came highly recommended for ladies and kids ...

    Ended up returning but was my fault, turned out to be a left handed bow, so was my own ignorance, but did buy one here locally that was right handed and I LOVE it. Came highly recommended for ladies and kids as a started and intermediate bow by the local dealer and has been really flexible in that my son and I both use it.
