hi beth.

the drs are a husband and wife team. he is an

internist/dermatologist/rheumatologist certified in all three specialties and

she is a derm. i love them. i keep saying i wish they would adopt me.

as far as how long - if it works then it will be cycle on and off for life if

it's effective, or, if it doesn't seem to be doing anything much, just long

enough to make sure it's had a chance to kick in, which would be about

another couple of months.

so far i haven't seen a change in the rosacea, but i had to stop taking it

for a bit to do some lab work, so it may be too early to tell. they said it's

known that it has no effect on rosacea, but by that they mean the lumps and

bumps of rosacea. it is supposed to help blood vessels. i'm anxious to see

just how much and in what way.

i'm sure shortly down the road they will figure this whole immunity question

out. in the meantime, it would be nice to know which side of issue we should

be standing on, wouldn't it?
