Karyn Crisis, known for being the former lead singer of the 90s metal band Crisis, has launched a GoFundMe to help her recover from a ‘medical injury.’. Now the lead singer of the band Gospel Of Witches, Karyn told fans that nearly three years ago she was left ‘disabled and disfigured’ after being prescribed topical steroids.
She posted a link to the fund – which was created by her friend Davide Tiso – on Instagram. Karyn wrote in the intro for the fund: ‘2 years and 10 months ago I was medically injured, which has left me disabled and disfigured and facing unpredictable and violent attacks of pain daily, along with other complications.

‘I don’t recognize myself in the mirror, which is the least of my issues in taking care of myself. I can only walk on one foot, hobble, a few blocks. I cannot wear regular shoes. ‘I have to customize them. I cannot regulate my body temperature: I am boiling hot and freezing cold at the same time.’.

She continued, saying: ‘Perhaps you’ve heard over social media that a lot of us are going through TSW: topical steroid withdrawal/red skin syndrome/ corticosteroid withdrawal. Meaning, at some point in our lives we took topical creams or prednisone as prescribed by allopathic doctors and now our bodies are rebelling and purging this out not just from the skin, but from the major organs.

‘It’s an entire body healing and re-organizing since this medication depletes minerals, changes how our skin creates oils, and many other things. It’s an apocalyptic process. It’s really unpredictable. Until recently, it was hard to open my mouth to eat so no singing right now.
