Just call me Liza Z.. As stated above in the summary, I have suffered asthma and eczema since I was two.. though asthma can be life threathening, I have always felf that eczema is the one condition that make me suffers the most.
I thought I had finally found the "miracle cure" and was elated but totally unaware of the danger of cortisone (steroids). I continued to take this medication for 10 years to keep the eczema in check, not realizing that in the process the cortisone's nasty side effects was destroying my immune system and was affecting my joints, basically the knee and the pelvic joint. I now have also been diagnosed as having Osteoarthritis.
Treatments that are recommended by doctors and pharmaceutical companies worldwide amounts to futile attempts at mere symptom treatment instead of the trying to address the root causes of the condition. There are various creams, ointments, and UV light treatments but none of them appear to have any lasting effects on the vast majority of sufferers, and many of the remedies cause undesirable side effects.
I now am sure that modern medicines will not cure me of eczema, but instead will only give temporary relief.. I strongly believe, that any illness or diseases have a cure to it, as what the quran says "any illness has its cure, only death will not"... Though it sound impossible, I am now on the journey to finding the cure....
