Itsan Forum Reaches 3000 Members!

I just logged on today to see that the Itsan forum membership is now 3002 and rising every day. We have come such a long way in such a short time.

I'm also pleased to see that the main TSW discussion group on Facebook is almost at 5000 members and there are other, smaller discussion groups on there too, as well as dedicated areas on the British skin foundation forum, talk health and eczema voice websites, to name but a few.

This is in addition to over 100 blogs on the subject of topical steroid withdrawal. Everyone who has contributed to the discussions online has helped get the information out there. The good news is that our collective shout-out has now got the medical community paying attention and doctors are starting to get on board and take us seriously.

Let's keep the discussion going, people. The word is getting out but there are SO many more people who need to be reached. When TSW is recognised by medical professionals worldwide as a real medical condition, we can be proud that we had a part in telling the world about this terrible affliction.
