    Hi josh . well my friend , a year into withdrawel , seems to have flown by . I must say that you are looking prety good there . How amazing is it to be this far down the line ? . i remember the bad times but they seem so far away already . I truly hope that your great recovery continues and that you carry on posting on here for those who are just beggining . I remember how supportive everyone ,including your good self , was to me when i started withdrawel . I am into my 11th month now , just a few weeks behind you . QUICK QUESTION THOUGH . When i got to 9.5 months i hit a wall again . i was expecting it as a lot of people in withdrawel say that they get a rebound flare at 9 months . i am still in a bit of this flare ,nothing too serious but enough to make me nervous . Just wondered if it happened to you ? ...congrats on your year into withdrawel mate . keep going and be safe . John .

      Hey John,

      Thanks for the message pal, as always, I appreciate it.

      No need to worry about the flare, I've lived with that on and off. It's not a big flare, but a bit red and dry skin, it tends to linger for a while. The last one of them I had was only a week or two ago and it lasted for a week, then all of a sudden disappeared.

      The thing I do to minimise the impact of flares is to eat lots of anti-inflamatory foods, like broccoli, cod liver oil, salmon etc. I find this really dampens the fire.

      Hope life is going well buddy, long live perfect skin!!

      Joshy

    Hi Josh, I am in month 5 now. I cant sleep well and difficult to fall asleep. I always scratch my skin at midnight which make my healing progress get worse repeatedly. Anything good for sleep?

    Also, I found that some of my skin turns brown after inflammation, how long does it take to turn white again?

      Hey Ng,

      I had a terrible time getting any real sleep. I slept in an arm chair that allowed me to stay more upright and I found that more comfortable while my skin was really bad. I used sleeping pills (usually double the recommended dosage) to get about 4 - 6 hours sleep per night. I also watched a heap of movies to pass the time.

      As for turning brown after inflammation, I don't really know what you mean there, but I would expect it to be another 5+ months before you will be seeing normal looking skin tones start emerging.

      Keep fighting buddy,

      Josh

    You look great Josh. Thanks for keeping your blog - always informative, and your personality is a blast of fresh air - so positive, no matter what's going on. You seem like great fun!
    Onwards and upwards - and NEVER touch the roids again... Take care. Elaine, Edinburgh. x
