Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 It used to be when I drank beer, I would turn bright red. Now though, after I have a few drinks I am actually quite pale. This is about the only time I look normal, the rest I have general redness and blotchy areas where its darker than others. For me, if I can understand this, I wonder if solve the mystery. I thought it may have been because of the cool drinks, but my face is pale for hours after I drink. Any ideas ? This disease is just so frustrating and I can never get anywhere with it, even after a dozen photoderms and doing everything Dr. Nase says.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Same thing happens to me with alcohol use. First few bring on a flushy rash but after a few more, it goes and I'm flush free and can be me!!! hooray. Also, its better if I drink the first few quickly, so not to give the flush much time before I reach the flush free limit. Yes, why is this? Very interesting. I don't think its nerves related as this would happen at home if I was drinking alone and completely not feeling nervous and also with the heating off. If this could be investigated further by the docs maybe a cure for flushing could be found (other than alcohol coz you don't want to turn into an alcoholic as well as a flusher). > >To: rosacea-support >Subject: Alcohol = No Flush, Why ? >Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2002 23:41:24 -0500 > >It used to be when I drank beer, I would turn bright red.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Are you drinking better beer than you used to? I only flush when I drink cheap wine -- I'm cool as a cucumber with the good stuff...
