After relocating to London for her studies, 29-year-old Rosemary Hook found her long-standing eczema condition drastically worsening, leading to severe symptoms. Describing her skin as having a thick, 'elephant-like' texture, Rosemary faced significant physical and emotional challenges, including hair loss and anxiety. Despite being prescribed various medications, including a chemotherapy drug, her situation continued to deteriorate. In search of relief, she traveled to Thailand for plasma therapy, a treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood to promote healing. This therapy has been described by Rosemary as 'life-changing,' but at a cost of £200 per session, she has launched an online fundraiser to help manage the expenses, as the treatment is expected to last five years.
