Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 I am always amazed by the incredible fickleness of this disease. When I found out I had rosacea, my derm told me no alcohol, no spicy foods and no chocolate. Well, the last two were integral parts of my life, so it has been a HUGE ajustment. But as most of you have probably noticed, what triggers one day may not trigger on another day. About six weeks ago, during an april heat wave, I went out with some friends, thinking to myself that I would be a good rosacea boy. But I soon gave in and found myself eating some very spicy Thai food. I later went to a pub and drank a little and finally ended up in a very unventilated and extremely hot club where I danced for several hours. All the while I was thinking how it would take me months to recover from this. NOTHING HAPPENED! In fact, the month following was a really good rosacea month. Then, this past weekend, (not nearly as hot as when I went out in April), I again went out but was a good boy except for about a quarter glass of wine and a small slice of pie (no chocolate involved)--should have been no problem right? I've flared up! If there could be some predictability to this disease, my life would be so much easier. Obviously, there are underlying factors which are not always subject to possible triggers.
