Help me reach eczema & TSW warriors
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Jennifer and I'm trying to raise funds to help support my passion for helping others with healing from eczema. I am a life long sufferer (26 yrs of steroid use) and have been withdrawing from the poisonous topical steroid medication for about 3.5 years. In 2008 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lmyphoma ( cancer), which I deeply believe was due to many years of steroid use. Thankfully I have been cancer free for 7 years now! Within those 7 years my health continued to decline. I eventually found natural ways of restoring my health and healing my eczema once and for all, by stopping all topical steroid medication and entering the withdrawal process.
Topical steroids is the go to "treatment" to mask the symptoms of many skin issues, but what people don't realize is that it's very easy to become addicted to this medication to where the body can't function without it. The skin issues that were being "cleared up" by the medication, only seem to come back worse and spread to other areas. The only way to heal is to go through the withdrawal process and work on restoring the body from the inside out. Awareness is finally being spread and more and more people are realizing that they are addicted to these dangerous medications. Thousands of people are going through withdrawal and are spreading the word.
The TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) process is a hellish experience that has had me unable to work for any consistent span of time. It has effected my skin terribly to where the most concentrated areas through the whole process are my legs and feet, making it difficult to walk at times and even put on shoes. My skin will go through many awful cycles of oozing lymph fluid, crusting, and shedding skin like mad. The toll this takes on the body is not only physical, leaving some warriors bed bound or house bound (like me) for months on end, but also emotional and mental as well. These awful symptoms are all apart of the healing journey, and one must endure to get through it. You can check out photos on my blog here . Through it I have become very passionate about spreading awareness about Topical Steroid Addiction and the withdrawal process. I have learned that eczema can be healed naturally and I've become so passionate about holistic healing that I started a blog (eczemaholistichealing.wordpress.com) to share my progress as well as tips on healing. Many international eczema suffers have contacted me, and in a way I've started doing "health coaching". I realize that this has become my purpose, and I would really like to make EczemaHolisticHealing my brand. I would also love to become a certified holistic health coach in the future! I want to reach people to arm them with the knowledge of the dangers of topical steroids for skin conditions like eczema. I want to save people from having to experience the hell that myself and thousands are going through. More and more people are becoming aware through blogs like mine and I just want to be able to expand on the awareness and ways to heal.
I have so many ideas of how to expand my blog and how to help others enduring this awful illness. I just need your help to raise funds so I can purchase a proper computer (MacBook Pro 13" +Apple care +16gb upgrade) as well as a SLR camera. My current MacBook of 8 years has completely konked out on me and I don't have a quality camera to document and record video. I'm currently documenting from my phone. Since I haven't been working due to TSW, I don't have the funds to support my website the way that I would like.
A donation of any amount, no matter how small would get me closer to my goal and help me to reach even more people than I have already in naturally healing their eczema. It will also allow me to expand on my ideas of DIY videos, food demos etc. I am extremely thankful for your help, this will allow me to really fuel my passion and use my journey as a beacon of hope for those who are currently suffering and help prevent others from going through the same experience as I.
Thank you so much for your support & God bless! <3
