Review for International Topical Steroid Awareness Network (ITSAN), Dacula, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I had used steroids for 2 years and I stop 3 weeks ego because prednisone staring to hurt my stomach and my Dr. wanted to prescribe another medication that it's usually used for lupus but it has side effect that can hurt your eyes, so I needed an eye exam before my Dr. will give me the prescription.
by then I was taking 40 milligrams of prednisone and my skin still bad and my stomach worse.
I star looking into in the internet and I found that many people had the same skin problem I had, but the reason was that I was getting worse because of the medication I was taken. I stared with cortisone cream that got over the counter to take care my dermatitis and within 2 years i was 100 time worse do to the steroid creams and the prednisone pills my Dr. had prescribed. I stopped taken the medication and take my chances without, since I was getting worse and the only solution was to stop treatment and start cleaning my body from the steroids.
It has being the 3 worse weeks of my life, but I know I'll get better soon…
