Month 1: HELL - not sleeping at all - lots of crying and
screaming on everyone's part. That is about all I remember about this
time. And that I was capable of turning crazy. Her legs and elbows were
hit the hardest. She needs to soak with enzymes to soothe the itch.
Month 2:
I also don't remember much from this month - all a horrific blur. We
were lucky enough to find a homeopathic who was open to trying and bring
relief during the withdrawal period and supported our decision to keep
our daughter off of steroids. Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of
illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health.
Homeopathy is based on the idea that "like cures like." That is, if a
substance causes a symptom in a healthy person, giving the person a very
small amount of the same substance may cure the illness. In theory, a
homeopathic dose enhances the body's normal healing and self-regulatory
processes.
Month 5: Somehow our daughter is
still smiling - but oh so itchy still -putting on socks and gloves to
avoid scratches. And, towel is for all the skin that is 'snowing' off my
daughter, another stage of the withdrawal process.
Month 6 :
We're switched to Chinese doctor as there not seeing any good process
after few months, tried the traditional natural Chinese medicine for 3
weeks. Flaking was minimal at this point. She could tolerate baths at
this point and even started enjoying them. They were no longer scream
fests. Her legs, tops of the feet, and back at this point were clear
from rashes and becoming softer. We were starting to all get more
sleep.
