burning and other questions

[Guest guest]

Dear Group of Fellow Sufferers,

I am so glad I found this outlet as those around me including my husband seem to

think I am making mountains out of molehills with the sudden onset of rosacea.

Yes, I have stress, I have had a rather bad past 9 months with pain from a

botched surgery but I had been coming out of all that and though bp med was

increased nothing seemed unusual and suddenly face red and itchy, burning with

eye involvment. I am on tetracyclin 2x a day, use nitate and from all of you

take aspirin for the burning, itch, Refresh Plus from eye doctor to help eyes.

Right now am using Basis soap and Purpose moisturizer(thanks Carlen) Still last

night was the worst, my face felt like a burning mask, not even my own skin. My

eyes burned right along with my skin. My skin and eyes as a general observation

feel very dry like all the natural oilyness I use to have is gone. In doing

some exercise I don't even feel like my face sweats. I need to persue other

avenues so questions on some of your suggestions where can I get borage oil and

flaxseed at GNC and does anyone know if this combo has any problems with meds

like bp meds? Is hemp oil available at health stores or at a place like The

Body Shop. As for diet I read Mark Bushauer's diet that has helped some of you

and in plain English what should I start eliminating other than red meat? Sorry

to run on, but my derm doesn't know what to do with me-he says " he has given me

everything. "

Many thanks, Profuse Apologies,

Maureen
