Well, I am nuts deep into the dreaded anniversary flare folks.
After having a break for a few month during the Summer the Winter months have put me right back in it again. Even though I was still flaring during my "break" period, my skin has taken a wrong turn down south since the start of November.
I've been holding off to post lately in hope for some good news to share with you. Sadly, that isn't the case.
All the original symptoms have returned. Even the horrible insomnia. Positively and strangely, I have enough energy to get me through the working day which is huge for me. I've only ever had a few days off from work during my entire time with withdrawal.
Is it a severe as my first "big" flare?. I dunno yet to be honest. My skin is getting worse by the day so I might not have peaked to that level. Judging by my previous updates from my blog my skin should be getting better by March/April time.
Got a trip booked in Amsterdam for my birthday at the start of March so fingers crossed my skin drops back into a more calmer period.
The anniversary flare is tougher to deal with mentally as you think you're on your way out then BOOM!, back to square one. Just have to keep pushing on I suppose and keep Kicking TSW's ass like a savage!.

All of the above photos are from November. The temperature outside here in Scotland started to drop as we entered Winter time...
Below are some images from December with the temperature dropping even more. You can see my skin getting worse with time.
The images below are from the other day (in January now).
As always, it's time that will heal us from this beast.
