You might try using a product with a beta hydroxy acid if your skin

can tolerate it. It might be that the flaking skin from the seb derm

is causing your pores to clog. You can also try a very diluted

solution of Nizoral shampoo on your face (a drop of the shampoo to

1/4

cup of water). I've done that in the past for a few days running and

it seems to clear the problem up for a few weeks.

Hope that helps!

Lu's new rheummy told her that with metho, this new drug was doing wonders

with people with RP. She sent this information. Thought I'd pass it along.

Lu started metho on Thurs and is feeling pretty bad. Please keep her in your

thoughts and prayers.

Edith,

It was I who wrote about Dynabec. I haven't tried it, though,

because my HMO doesn't cover it. In any case, I seem to be okay

using doxycycline. Perhaps this can be another option for you. I

don't know about teeth discoloration with doxy, but it is supposed to

make you more photo-sensitive than the other cyclines.

I don't know if this would make your face break out but Coppertone Sport

Ultra Sweatproof and says it's hypoallergenic goes on dry and doesn't make me

oily. I don't use it much on my face since my makeup works as a sunscreen

though.

Fran,

I have not eaten sugar for ten years, I gave up bread (whole wheat) two

months ago, I never drank, I gave up smoking, coffee, dairy and meat I take

vitamins and at this moment I live on fruit, vegetables, fat-free yogurt,

rice cakes and olive oil.

I do not think that I am able to make any more lifestyle changes...

I am depriving myself of everything I ever enjoyed, nothing works on me, and

since I feel ugly and my face cannot be touched I do not date and socialize

anymore. This beast got me, beat me and all I can do is find a shrink and try

to accept it.

Have a wonderful new year,

Edith

Edith,

Have you considered going back to the things that make you happy, like

coffee, smoking and sugar? I hate that this has " beaten you " , as you said.

If you were to go back to the things you enjoyed, do you think that your

skin would get worse? Who knows? If you went back to the lifestyle you

enjoy, your mental health and outlook would probably improve. If none of

these changes are helping your skin, why not live life the way you want to?

Maybe that in itself would make you happy.

Remember, we're here for you.

Happy New Year to all,

Ruth

hi !

Just want to let you know, that I can't see my " roadmap " any more--it

was located on the upper left cheek area on my face, but it sure took a

LONG TIME to resolve! Many years ago, I had some electrocautery done on

it (about 1990-91); then in 1996, I had some sclerotherapy (veins

injected with saline/lidocaine) done and they faded so that I could

cover them with make up and the make up didn't " bounce " off; then I went

in when my doctor got the nd-YAG and the roadmap was " zapped " --that did

a GOOD job; and now the series of photoderms when I can afford

them....maybe it was the series of all these things i've gone thru that

did the job.....but I do believe the job is finally done--the veins

started " re-appearing " approx 1 year after the nd-YAG treatments.

Lunch? sometime?

Good luck to you and best regards

Well said, ! My experience has paralleled yours. Photoderm

is not the only answer, but it was a significant piece of the puzzle for

me.

Hi all, I just got out of the Hospital! Sunday night I had a severe

gallbladder attack. They admitted me into NWH Sunday nite. I finally got to

my room at 4:30 am. I then was put on NPO for 3 days of testing yes.,,, 3

Days !!!! I finally had the gallbladder removed at 6:00 pm Wednesday night.

I was released today (thursday) around 2:30. I am a little tired. They did

a lapirotomy(sp) so it will be a faster healing. I did look for any bypass

people up there but ....the names for all shortened on the boards,,, I

couldn't just say " hey did you have a bypass? " LOL well I have sat up

way to long goodnite all!
