We're going somewhere, we're getting there. I know that you're so busy between trying to get sleep and trying to take care of yourself, but also building that farm.
Imagine trying to build a cannabis farm while your legs are so inflamed you can barely walk. That's exactly what Luke Spaulding, a 32-year-old farmer, faced during his struggle with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW). In this episode of 'TSW: Journey to Healing', Luke opens up about his harrowing yet hopeful journey. Growing up in California and later moving to Oregon, Luke always had a passion for agriculture and alternative medicine.
However, his love for farming was put to the test when he began experiencing severe symptoms of TSW in February 2022. The condition left him so debilitated that he once had to lie on a bed of dirt to give orders to his farmhands because standing was unbearable. He even considered getting a wheelchair due to the intense pain and swelling in his legs. But Luke's story isn't just about the physical pain.
It's also about mental resilience and finding alternative paths to healing. He shares how he questioned the long-term use of steroids even as a child but followed doctors' advice, leading to years of dependency. Lack of sleep and insomnia were among his worst symptoms, yet he managed to find solace in his work and alternative healing methods. If you're navigating TSW or any other health challenge, Luke's journey offers a beacon of hope.
His story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest times, perseverance and passion can guide us toward healing. Tune in to hear Luke's inspiring tale and learn how he balanced his health struggles with his dream of building a thriving farm.
