Hello everyone! It has been sometime since I created this blog and finally now I'm to make my first post. Anyway for starters, I should introduce myself first shouldn't I?
I have been a sufferer of Steatocystoma Mulitplex for about four years. It has been a horrible journey, looking at all those little cysts grow, and being able to do nothing about it. Finally, I knew the meaning of helplessness. Like most of us would do, I went online looking for what disease it was, and I settled on Keratosis Pilaris. The symptoms seemed pretty similar, bumps on skins... checked! It wasn't till I visited a dermatologist then did reality hit me hard. He told me I had Steatocystoma Multiplex and that it was hereditary, and there was no cure! He gave me some anti - bacteria shower and sent me off.
For the past years, I scoured the net for treatments, diets, basically anything that could get rid or control this horrible condition, to no avail that is. Also, I realised support online is so scarce for this condition, and this is the reason why I created this blog. Rather than dwell on this uncurable disease, I would rather be a support for others, to help others through what I had been through.
Over the next few posts, I will talk more about SM and myself. I will try to update frequently as well.
If you read this post, and would like to contact me regarding SM, or perhaps just to send me a note of support. You may email me at iamnotsm2014@gmail.com.
To all sufferers of SM: We are not alone, We are not SM, SM does not define who we are, we are still ourselves! :)
