Thanks for committing to return here if your condition returns, there's no shame in reporting on our failures here. (unless you tell everyone they have the same thing and will all be cured too!)
However, I'm sure I speak for everyone here, that we would appreciate an update in the not-so-distant future if at all possible.
I've read Protopic is recommended as only a short-term treatment. It seems you might be a guinea pig if you choose to test it long-term.
Please do at least let us know what happens when you discontinue this treatment.
