  1. Hi Cara! I was going through your pics and can see that your skin seemed to go through an anniversary flare around months 12-13th. Was this so? and did you find it improved pretty quickly and was bearable or was it more ups and downs until your healing sped up in months 24-25? Thanks so much for any reply!

    1. Hello! I'm not sure if you are the same person I talked to on Instagram, but just in case you aren't, yes, I did go through an anniversary flare but to be honest, I didn't really have many gaps and felt like I was just at different stages of bad for two years. I had a tough second year but in a different way to the first. Parts of my body got better, and the symptoms were more isolated, but it was still very tough and I experienced full body burning still and started excessively sweating everywhere which was very unpleasant. All in all, a very tough 2 + years. After I made a full recovery, I only experienced two isolated flares on my hands that lasted a week - and they were both times I went to Verbier in Switzerland - and mild rashes etc. Wishing you the best of luck with your journey xxxx
