2.5 Years After Withdrawing from Topical Steroids...

2.5 YEARS AFTER STOPPING STEROIDS

(this post says it is posted in 2013, I have moved it on the calendar just so it sits in the right spot on my blog, but today is the 18th June 2014)

So.. a lot has happened since I last posted..
We have stayed living an organic paddock to plate lifestyle, that will never change.

In short, we started a family (got a dog..a golden retriever.. her name is Rocket), moved interstate to the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. I add the photos and our most recent ones are at the bottom of this post (now Sept 2016).

I am so proud of everyone who has found us and gone through this struggle to live our better quality of life and health.

Nothing makes me happier then watching Jake stroll out of the house in a T-shirt and shorts..

I love you Jake!! X

Jake's life has completely changed for the better, forever.
This does not mean we don't have to work on health to keep it that way.

We have experienced stressful times since the withdrawal, which has brought on eczema and other inflammatory issues.

The key core things to keep in check are diet, stress management, and environment.

We will always strive for better health.

FOOD IS MEDICINE Xx

Acknowledgements

We would like to send our hearts to the people who stuck by us and helped in Jake's healing.

We could not have done it without you x

Doris Were - (my mother) Clinical Nutritionist and father Robert Were

My parents took Jake into their home with open arms; cooked, cleaned, bathed and held Jake 24 hours a day. They gave so much of their time and love to Jake and I. You made all of this possible, and we are truly grateful. Thank-you xxx

Margo Field

When Margo consulted with Jake, Jake was in the worst stage of this process. Margo's loving nature helped Jake to accept the condition he had, and she gave us strategies to deal with this mental and physical pain as a couple.

Dr. Fred Swann

Fred has supported us both unconditionally. I can't even think of the words to thank Fred or explain how amazing he is. We love you Fred.

Dr. John Turner (& Super Team Members)

Coliban Medical Centre - It's hard to find people who genuinely want to help you and support your cause. This team is an exception, and have supported Jake in his rehabilitation with the utmost care and attention.
