Sameer's road to recovery from Topical steroid withdrawal syndrome

Mount Roskill, Auckland

Hi everyone, my name is Sameer. Today is my 28th birthday and I have been in the worst battle of my life where I feel like my skin is on fire 24/7, for the last 12 months. I developed Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) after long term use of steroid creams to treat my eczema.

Please check out ITSAN for more info https://www.itsan.org/.

At 27, these creams were no longer working. After discovering TSW, I stopped using the creams and went into withdrawal.

Symptoms include:

- Full body rashes

- A Bone deep itch that no amount of scratching will stop

- Intensely dry and cracked skin

- Oozing skin,

- Complete insomnia

- Panic/itch attacks, anxiety/depression.

I had to stop working last year and am heavily reliant on my support crew. While full recovery can take anywhere from 1-5 years, there is a treatment option available in Thailand to speed up the process. Clinic details here:

Name of the clinic พลาสม่าคลินิกเวชกรรม

02 960 1152

It uses Cold Atmospheric Plasma to rebuild the skin layers. I’m creating this Give a little on my birthday as this year I am asking for the gift of health. If I have ever had any positive impact in your life I would be forever grateful for any donation.

This is the toughest battles I’ve faced in my life, I’ve had to give up everything. Any help or support will be great, you will help me regain my life but I will assure you one thing I will never stop fighting and I will never give up hope.

Use of funds

The treatment will take to 3-4 months. all donations will be used towards the treatment, accommodation, flight tickets, food and living which will total to approximately $15,000 nzd. if goal is not met i will find other ways to fund raise.

Doing very good, healing has been very good all around the body, skin is much stronger and healthier than it was when I started. Just have a few spots around the body that are stubborn, and they will be for a while so will have to learn how to manage it away from getting the CAP treatment. Very thankful and blessed to have this opportunity to Be here, and have the ability to heal my skin and get my life back together
