FID Questions

HI All. I have had a bit of a set back. I was getting back into doing FID 100% following going off the diet a bit towards the end of last year. I felt like I really had things on the right track in August (following 7 months on FID). I then went off the diet a bit whilst on holiday and then regularly cheated on the diet towards Christmas. No surprise that my eczema got worse again. I started the new year resolved to start FID afresh. However given my hands were not in the best shape I used topical steroid for a couple of weeks followed by some protopic. I then used the protopic quite regularly as I was advised that it was safe to do so. Sadly this turned out not to be the case as I stopped using the protopic and I promptly developed the symptoms of TSW on my hands - burning, significant reddening of the skin, significant flaking etc. I know the symptoms as I went through TSW back in 2015. My hands are in a pretty bad way now :( Fortunately I didnt really use Protopic on my ankles and they have not been affected by these symptoms. I wonder if anyone else has experience of Protopic withdrawal? I did some research on it and it looks like various people have given accounts of similar things happening. Hopefully I can be a lesson to others that stopping Protopic can lead to TSW-like symptoms. As I didnt think TSW would be an issue I dont think I used Protopic safely - I perhaps used a bit too much and stopped using it too abruptly.

Any advice welcome! Needless to say I am back on FID 100% and I dont think I will be doing much testing anytime soon whilst my skin calms down!! Thanks, Mark
