A resident of the British Isles, Ruth Holroyds, suffers from eczema from a young age. At the age of six, her doctor prescribed her to take steroids. It helped. Almost all of her life, Ruth has not experienced health problems.
But everything changed when she turned 46 last year. Holroyds began to feel unwell, she began to have problems with blood pressure. Then she decided to go to the hospital.
Doctors said that taking steroids for a long time negatively affects blood pressure and causes problems with bones. Therefore, she was offered to refuse to receive them. The British woman faced the question: what is more important than health or youth? The woman chose the first.
She stopped taking steroids. And soon Holroyds noticed how eczema “takes away” her youth. The skin turned red and began to peel off. Wrinkles covered her entire face.
Over the course of a year and a half, Ruth has aged and started to look like a sixty-year-old. No anti-aging creams helped. Because of this, the woman decided to become a hermit. She quit her job and locked herself at home.
Now the British woman is trying to overcome her insecurities and look at life positively. After all, despite her appearance, her health has improved.
