Livet har snurrat på extremt fort de senaste månaderna!
Om jag börjar med huden så har det blivit mycket bättre den senaste månaden, sedan jag var hos homeopaten ungefär. Vet inte om det är ett sammanträffande eller om det har med att göra att jag nästan helt slutat med mjukgörande. Huden kändes alltid som bäst direkt efter duschen så jag skippade bara att smörja in mig en dag. Visst, jag blev lite torr men det kliade inte alls på samma sätt.
Detta kallas även moisture withdrawl (MW) på forumet. Det är många som har lovordat det förut jag har bara inte vågat tidigare!
Vad har mer hänt de senaste månaderna... jo jag har blivit spinninginstruktör, löpcoach, startat företag och hemsida! Och försökt träna för halvmaran som är om några veckor. Jag tänker fortfarande på vad jag äter och tar mina tillskott av superfoods och vitaminer/fetter men jag har ett mer avslappnat förhållande till både mat och dryck. Har till och med varit ute och druckit öl några ggr!
Jag känner inte att jag riktigt haft min andra flare än, bara microflares. Kommer den så kommer den, det är inte så mycket jag kan göra åt saken.
Här är ett citat som jag lever efter nu:
It is what it is. If things could be different, they would be. Trust that you are doing the best you can right now. Keep breathing. Keep moving forward. Keep dancing. There is beauty in this space if in between, too.
Jag skriver en snutt på engelska också för att jag ska kunna dela inlägget på ITSAN.

My life has been moving so fast the last few months!
When it comes to my skin I've gotten so much better the past month, ever since I went to the Homeopath. Don't know if that is a coincidence or if it's due to the MW. I realized that my skin felt best right after I had a shower so I just wrapped myself up in my bathrobe after every shower and left it on for like an hour or so. The first 30 min was quite tough but then it got better and better. Didn't get those intense itch attacks I would get with the oils. I do have to use something for my face!
I know a lot of tsw sufferers recommended it before, I just didn't dare to try it!
What else happened.... Well I'm now a spinning instructor, running coach and I just started my own company and website! So it's been a busy couple of months so say the least.
I guess my energy is back :)
I don't believe I've had my dreaded second flare yet, only micro flares. There's nothing I can do really, if it happens it happens.
For those who don't know my history... I started with steroids early, maybe at age 2-3. Used it for a few years, then had a few years off. Started again when I was 14... It got worse at 19 but I've always had periods where I've been free from eczema. Had no problems from age 24-26 but after moving back from a year in Canada the skin started acted really weird. I tried different diets like raw food and dairy free... nothing worked, just seemed to make things worse. Finally quit TS mid October 2013. Had a pretty rough first few months, with a sick leave for 2 months, but I believe I'm experiencing a mild TSW (compared to many others).
Here's a quote I live by now:
It is what it is. If things could be different, they would be. Trust that you are doing the best you can right now. Keep breathing. Keep moving forward. Keep dancing. There is beauty in this space if in between, too.
