Spanish Key, your post was posted nearly four years ago at the very time I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on with me and my uncontrolled "eczema". Nearly four years later and 43 months being steroid free, my life has returned to normal after a living hell. There is no overhyping anything as thousands upon thousands of people are getting on the same boat. Topical steroid addiction is a serious problem that will get much worse until every doctor is aware of the future suffering they are slathering on their patients.<br /><br />Also, the idea that NEA is in bed with pharma, whether true or not, is NOT "ludicrous". The fact that pharmaceutical companies give money to the NEA at all is the exact definition of conflict of interest and as such erodes their credibility.

They list their donors here http://www.nationaleczema.org/about-nea/nea-alliance-partners and Upsher-Smith donated less than $25k last year. Big deal. From what I've seen in their newsletters, NEA considers all solutions to eczema on their own merits, including "alternative" medicine.<br /><br />It's pretty well known that steroid addiction can be a problem for a small number of patients. But for most people, moderate use of steroids helps control eczema flares. In my opinion, ITSAN is probably helping a few people out, but in general they are overhyping the problem.Spanish Keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839125247451906949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063416407663011642.post-31918905715113898872013-03-27T06:12:44.752-07:002013-03-27T06:12:44.752-07:00Perhaps more research should go into how the stero...Perhaps more research should go into how the steroid creams actually can cause "steroid induced eczema".

International Topical Steroid Addiction Network has tried to help them out and rescued many grieving parents from the eczema merry-go-round. Funny that NEA does not tell anyone that steroids could be a huge problem but maybe the fact that they are partners with Upsher/Smith pharma, maker of steroids has something to do with it?Joey V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06609019455308772234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063416407663011642.post-42866854291264398712012-04-09T18:15:12.346-07:002012-04-09T18:15:12.346-07:00The goal of NEA is to find answers for all who suf...The goal of NEA is to find answers for all who suffer from eczema.
