Don't give up - I am in the same boat. I've had eczema all my life but for some reason - probably the extreme stress I was going through, and the bad decision to go on birth control - 1.5 years ago I had a major flare up on my lower legs and arms - that hasn't quite gone away yet (I am off the birth control - probably the single worst thing that has caused my eczema and candida). I also stopped sleeping regularly around that time. In the past year I have been trying many things - I'm on custom-made hormone cream to support my adrenals, given up most grains, on Armour thyroid to support my thyroid, seeing an osteopath, trying zapping, and have done 6 Liver Flushes so far - followed by colonics. Healing is happening - slowly, but surely ... I have a lot of days where I get depressed and wonder - "why won't it just go away??? - I'm doing everything I possibly can??" - but I remember it took a long time to get sick this way, and healing doesn't happen overnight. So hang in there - definitely try the liver flushes. I notice that my skin gets better everytime I go through one ... it may not be healed yet - but definitely better than it was a year ago ...
