Coping with TSW Syndrome

This page is for people going through topical steroid withdrawal and is based on the experience of several thousand ITSAN forum members. These are trends and observations pulled directly from the experiences of those who have suffered or are suffering through withdrawal. Unfortunately, there are no absolutes or works-every-time tricks. It is our hope that in the future physicians will have better tools at their disposal to find answers and provide greater comfort to those who suffer.
