Drug has changed Rebecca's life - but she faces choice to stop taking it

A woman with a chronic skin condition has finally found a cure - only to be told that she can't have another baby as long as she is on the medication. If Rebecca Sayers, 23, wants another child she will have to stop taking the drug and risk plunging herself back into depression.

The mum-of-two says her life was totally transformed in March 2021 when she started taking Cyclosporine to deal with her psoriasis. After a lifelong battle with the skin condition, which she previously told MyLondon affected her from head-to-toe and left her hoovering constantly to get rid of the dead skin, Rebecca noticed her skin clearing within days of taking the new meds, reports MyLondon.

"In the beginning when my skin started clearing up I was really happy, I was over the moon," she said. Rebecca described how within just two weeks her skin had totally transformed, giving her a newfound confidence she'd never had before. "I never thought I’d see myself with normal skin, just to dress normally and look normal and be a normal adult," she said.
