Side effect: an American woman has endured terrible suffering because of steroids to treat eczema
This girl had to quit her job because of the unbearable pain. She refused to take steroids, which led to a sharp deterioration of the skin condition. Andrea Cisneros treated eczema with a special cream, and when she stopped using it, she almost died of agony. The suffering was so unbearable that she even thought about death. Fortunately, now the American woman is confidently moving towards recovery and hopes that her story will be instructive for others.
Andrea decided to stop using the steroid cream a year and a half ago. The first time after refusing the drug, she was tormented by such excruciating pain that she was forced to quit her job as a dentist. As a result, the girl was left without an apartment and means of subsistence.
The American woman was bedridden for several months. Her skin was bleeding, and taking a shower was turning into a real torture. Andrea admits that she had suicidal thoughts.
Doctors usually prescribe topical steroids to treat eczema. But they can only be used temporarily, and with an overdose, there are terrible side effects, which happened to the girl. As a result, her skin condition began to deteriorate.
Andrea now works as a holistic health mentor. She shared her story on Facebook to let people know more about this dangerous condition.
After stopping taking steroids, the American woman's body became so weak that she walked with a stick for nine months. Her knees ached, her clothes clung to her skin, and her body was covered with bleeding wounds. At night, the pain was especially acute. Her mother changed Andrea's bed every day — the sheets were wet with blood. The girl changed every two hours. Sometimes she had to walk around the house naked, because her skin was very irritated.
Over time, Andrea's condition has improved a lot. However, she continues to struggle with the disease. While the American woman can not return to work in a dental clinic, but she has mastered a new specialty-she became a coach for a healthy lifestyle online. The girl hopes that by talking about her situation, she will help others avoid the health problems that she had to face.
Eczema is the scourge of many people, but the British woman managed to get rid of the painful disease by throwing out the cream on steroids and becoming a vegetarian.
