Hey Anthony, I'm glad that the creams are working for you. I tried the Protopic but it said not to get in your eyes well helloooo, it's around my eyes, I did used it sparingly and it turn a portion of my skin very dark so I decided not to continue the use and I don't want to use the UVB light in fear it will promote skin cancer. I took a class on meditation so I can learn to not stress but couldn't get a focal point :(
I'm glad your days are better, I don't cry as much either but I am aware that I have vitiligo, little by little I have released myself from covering, like cutting my hair short in the back, I have two spots on top of my head but also the nape of my neck and as I looked at my hands today I thought of what you said about your hands and I wanted to hide them but then I thought I am thankful to God I have hands. Thoughts like that keeps me thankful and grateful and I get my nails done so that helps too :)
We're here because of our testimony that God has given us, this is our cross to bear, it's a little heavy at times but we carry on.
Hello and thank you miss Wendy.I myself know all too well about this condition.It just came about suddenly in2005for me,my face and eye's and neck were most affected.It seemed like all eyes were on me causing me to feel extremely self conscious.I cried more times than I could count ,but today with the right treatment of topical creams and being less stressed..pigment has come back to those affected areas,my neck and hands are still a sore spot for me but I thank God first and foremost because He gave me the means to get better.I may not have had it as severe as others but I still empathize because I can relate.That's why I'm here.
Hi I just joined the group. I use to feel the same way you have stated, I wrote a story about the "invisible me". I would wear my shades when I went into the grocery store hoping not to be seen. I worried what people were thinking or how they would treat me. I have vitiligo around my eyes, on my lips, my fingers and spots on the top of my head hidden by my hair. I just got vitiligo in 2007. I'm at the point where I can't worry so much about what people think, because vitiligo is progressive with stress. All your words on the different pictures I saw of you were the words I would say. I do wear makeup to work, church and special events because I don't want it to be about me but instead about the reason for the gathering. I couldn't ever promise that it will get better but you will learn that it's apart of you and really do you want to miss out on everyday that God have given you with worry. People have to deal with other things like baldness, disfigurement, no legs, arms, we all have our challenges. Keep your spirit up.
