My Nonprofit Reviews

For most of my life, I struggled with increasingly worse eczema -- what started as a few patches on my hands as a child had spread into a full-body rash by the time I was in college. The doctors I saw just said it was "genetic" and there was nothing I could do except use topical steroids. ITSAN's website on topical steroid addiction provided a source of information I wasn't able to find elsewhere. I was able to read through all of the relevant medical research from many different journals in one place and for free. When I made the decision to go off topical steroids, I also found ITSAN to be a great source of community and comfort. Topical steroid withdrawal is a very difficult, painful, long, itchy time and ITSAN allowed me to connect to others around the world who were going through the same thing. Without ITSAN, I would have never heard of topical steroid addiction and would still have an increasingly spreading terribly rash for seemingly no reason. I have donated to this organization and I would definitely recommend it to others.
