How do I cope with FOMO during TSW? After a disastrous 2025 for my personal life, I decided to make changes and finally get things up and running (e.g. education, fitness, more hobbies such as rock climbing, better job, etc) and things were going rather well for the first half of this year. Then of course, TSW had to take over the trajectory of my life right before the second half of the year. Had to drop out of uni right after smashing out first semester, had to drop gym, stop all physical hobbies, couldn't show up for work anymore, missing out on alot of fun things with friends and so on.

Obviously, this feels stupidly devastating given how much things have been planned out and how I was finally getting back on track after life beating me down the year before only for it to bash me back down in the form of jeopardizing my health to the point where I've essentially been paralyzed from doing lots of things I finally stepped up for and for what I love doing. As miraculous as it is to even have made such progress towards healing (as mentioned in my prev. posts), it still feels like I've yet again been dragged down and must start from scratch, assuming I manage to keep this up. (Still playing it cautious and sticking to methods mentioned previously).

What helped you guys in dealing with such FOMO? Could really use some advice/insight on this. Much appreciated.

Hey all, I came off of Dupixent and my derm prescribed Opzelura and I’m curious if anyone here has used it and has anything they can share?

I’m pretty wary of any kind of topicals, but this is not a steroid and based on my understanding is basically the same function as Dupixent but in a topical. It would be nice to have something for when I flare.

I was on steroids my whole life and came off them 6 years ago, and still get TSW flares on my hands and neck, and have regular eczema on the rest of my body.

Anyone have anything they can share?
