11 weeks nickel free diet and I think I'm healed!
Swipe for before and after photos... I truly can't believe after 15 years of feeling crippled by DE, I have finally healed my hands! A redditor in this group (highstakeshealth) commented on a post of mine mid April, saying she was sure I had a systemic nickel allergy. I was cautiously optimistic, and quietly doubted my luck in finding my trigger. But the results are in and my hands are like new! I still have the very last of the cracks closing on 2 fingertips, but I feel like a completely new person! I've since learnt that Dyshidrotic excema is one of the common signs of having a systemic nickel allergy. Its worth looking into. Nickel is in so many of the foods we eat, and I've found it hard adjusting to what I can and can't eat, but I am so relieved to have hopefully put this painful 15 year chapter behind me! I urge everyone to look into it for yourself.
