This torture continued relentlessly for 7 months and then slowly, very slowly I began to improve. Now I am a new person, almost back to my normal self and coping very well with everyday work etc. I do not take any medication, all I use is lots of moisturisers after my daily shower. My nails are starting to improve, my eyes are producing far less mess, I shed only a little and I am mainly white with pink spots. I walk around town in shorts again and I no longer have to grate my hands and feet.
Plastic bags are also a thing of the past.
For those of you in the middle of unbearable suffering, my heart goes out to you. Know that you are not alone and you will make it through the ordeal. St Johns Wort helps to lift the spirits, I strongly recommend it. If any of the new Type 1 members would like to ask me anything, please feel free to contact me.
