I've found that in sit down (semi-fancy) restaurants that I've been

able to order a small bottle of Perrier water. I also order that if I

go to a bar. For most low key places like pizza parlors or sandwich

shops, I've been able to get a bottle of local mineral water (in San

Franciso the brand is Calistoga -plain).

I use Almay Amazing Lasting foundation. It is one of

only two foundations that I've found to work for me.

My skin is oily and extremely sensitive. Most makeup

melts off my face by noon and/or makes my face itch.

The Amazing Lasting formula lasts all day and does not

cause any irritation for me. The only drawbacks are

that it can be a little drying and sometimes it's hard

to remove. The only other foundation I've found that

my sensitive skin will tolerate is Lancome

Macqui-Control. The color is a better match for my

skin; but it doesn't last as long as the Almay and

it's much more expensive.

Good luck.

Ijust had a blood workup, my cholesterol is pretty good 151, low

triglicerides (? spelling). Low LDL. My blood pressure is low. My doc

said my cholesterol ratio was in a category they see in Boston

Marathon runners. But I still have the stupid rosacea. Also never took

medication in my life, until a year ago with antibiotics and the

creams for rosacea. MB

I here you Dawn! I started having my symptoms during my first pregnancy. I

have had high blood pressure too. I also had gestational diabetes, but seem

to be ok now. I think the antidepressant thing is alos very interesting. I

have been on Prozac off and on for 10+years. I went off of it each

pregnancy. So I had taken it about 5 years before my symptoms started. I

wonder what all drugs are in the same class as the Zoloft? I thought the

Celexa was in the same group? But I am sure it is just like evrything else,

we all have different triggers. Hang in there Dawn and all!
