Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Agreed. A little venting is healthy. Many of us have been dealing with this for a long time and the people we know well are tired of hearing about it. A forum like this is can be a good place to vent. Thanks to treatment, I no longer feel particularly disfigured, but there was a time when I did and I wouldn't begrudge anyone the right to get such feelings off their chest. We all have vastly varying degrees of this condition so, one person saying he/she feels disfigured in no way implies everyone with rosacea is. Now, calling someone else " disfigured " would surely be crossing the line! > Let's face it, for many (if not all) of us, rosacea is > not a great thing to have.
