Eczema

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I've had eczema since I was a baby, but unfortunately, at 22, I have

never grown out of it. I've seen allergists and dermatologists, and

have antihistamines and steroid creams and have had cortisone shots

and corticosteroid pills and run the gamut. Nothing takes care of it

but for a little while, and the intense itching and spreading of the

rash all over my body is beginning to drive me crazy.

I've been researching alternative ways of dealing with this problem,

and saw eczema mentioned several times (being an autoimmune disease)

as a possible disorder that could be treated by LDN. I was just

wondering if anyone here has experience with treating eczema with LDN?

Does it just stop the itch, or does it treat the flare ups, or...?

Do you experience the rebound effect that steroids give if you stop

taking it?

One of the deterrents for me is that all of the steroids and

corticosteroids have cancer as a potential side effect. I keep

reading " virtually no side effects! " for LDN, but come on, what's the

real dirt? I have a mal-absorptive disorder of the small intestines

so it's very important that nothing hinder vitamin levels or

absorption, etc. I really need to consider every little thing here.

Any feedback would be appreciated. I've been getting more and more

desperate to find a way to go forward with this thing.

Thank you,
