I always thought that i had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics i was taking at that time.īy mid april my skin was turning redder each day, it wasn’t before long that my body was covered in red and dry skin.ĭo you know what else was going on in april 2011? That was the first month that i stopped steroids, but the symptoms already begun in mid march.īy april, my face was swollen but the flaking wasn’t that bad yet. tough it out half halfheartedly by reporting to work late

Here’s how i did it, i’m NOT proud of it (at least for the parts when my skin was still horribly bad), and i do not encourage you to do the same. Honestly speaking, i feel undeserving and ashamed when you all tell me how strong i am to still attend school, truth is, i didn’t attend as much school as you thought – i’m not as strong actually! Some of you even praised me for being able to still go to school during TSW. Some of you have wondered how i toggled steroid withdrawal and school/work at the same time. “sorry for being late again, my feet is oozing and it took me some time to deal with it.” “i’m sorry, but i had a diarrhea this morning.” It was me lying to my supervisor for being late.

(TMI: i’m still showering in the dark, not because i don’t wanna see my skin but because i’m so used to that.

I was taking a shower one night and a distant piece of memory hit me suddenly.
