TSW HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE THE 1970s
Despite this, drug companies and regulatory bodies have done little to address the situation, while the vast majority of doctors remain unaware of the damage topical steroids can do.
WE NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW!
AN ESTIMATED 3.8 MILLION AMERICANS, AND UNTOLD MILLIONS GLOBALLY, ARE UNKNOWINGLY CAUGHT IN TOPICAL STEROID ADDICTION.
WILL YOU HELP US RAISE AWARENESS?
TSW has completely traumatized our whole family for the last 18 months. I'm not sure we will ever fully comprehend what this has done to us.
I didn't sleep for a month and although I could slowly see myself getting better I remember having a relapse at about nine months in. That's when I almost lost the fight and it took my mental health.
THE ONLY WAY TO HEAL FROM TSW IS TO STOP USING TOPICAL STEROIDS. THE PROCESS IS LONG AND PAINFUL, AND LITTLE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE EXISTS.
WILL YOU HELP US FUND RESEARCH?
TRAGICALLY, MANY VICTIMS OF TSW ARE CHILDREN. PARENTS OFTEN FEEL JUDGED AND FEAR REPRCURSSIONS WHEN RAISING CONCERNS.
WILL YOU HELP US EDUCATE DOCTORS?
Colton's doctor wanted to increase his steroid dosage, but I refused. I knew something was wrong, and I would not put my 3-year-old son on such and extremely potent steroid.
