Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 cea can be associated with a number of auto immune diseases. My Dr. gave me a RX for some cream and it works great. Mine mostly affects my nose. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Ginger...when my RA was the worse (before biologics helped) I also had cea. Whether they are connected or not, I don't know...but seems like it is possible.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I am not aware of an association between RA and rosacea, Ginger. I did look around to see if anything popped up in the literature, but didn't find anything. Not an MD On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 2:35 PM, gbread100 <gbread100@...> wrote: > Hi.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi First thank you so much for all you do. I was thinking back when my Dr gave me the script about 18 months ago. It was before my RA diagnosis but we were working on tests. He explained that it could be because of lupus which I did not have but RA instead. Didnt really think about it too much as makeup is my friend. My memory, not what it used to be. lol Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 You are very welcome, Carol. Sometimes rosacea can look like the malar rash which can occur in systemic lupus. No doubt about that. Not an MD On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 7:41 AM, em <IM4BUCS2000@...> wrote: > > Hi > First thank you so much for all you do.
