I had it for 25 years and it ruined much of my life. (literally) Protopic is a miracle cure and works for most people. (and I dont throw around the word miracle EVER and am the most cynical person alive) The area you put it on will feel hot for a day or 2, then the heat will go away. This medicine came out 3 years ago, and I was in the study at Scripps Hospital after I had given up all hope. Trust me, it will change your life. Cortisone thinned, pinkened, and destroyed my skin. I wish this had been available 20 years ago, as most of my years are gone now. It comes from the bark of a tree and is used to prevent rejection in life threatening, major transplant surgeries. Protopic will work, I promise you---by the way, Elidel is the other new one. As God as my witness, it works. This is one medicine that came from the man upstairs. You'll see.
: I am researching about msm for eczema. I've had eczema all my life (43 years) and cortisone in assorted forms is what helps the most. What did the msm do for you? What changes did you notice first? Did it make you more itchy? What kind of msm did you take?
: :I have lived with eczema for 20 years.
: : the only way to control it was cortisone injection every 4 weeks. A wellness doctor had me try msm. 2000 mg in the morning & 2000 mg at night. It was a miracle. Its only been 7 days. Before this I have tryed everything
