DOING GOOD/THANK YOU

February 15, 2002

I just thought I would share how helpful you all have been. I have both

rosacea and seb derm. I have been able to keep one or the other under

control, but never both, till now. No miracles here, but I am back to that

sun kissed look instead of the rare tenderized steak look, my face is pretty

much flake free, and my swelling is way down. My nose looks normal! I have

been using the Body Shop's tea tree glycerin soap ($5) in the evenings and

following it with Queen Helena's Mint Julep Mask ($3) and then a very high

quality jojoba oil form bostonjojoba.com (31.71 w/s&h for 32 oz, I have used

it for a month on my face and nails and have used maybe an oz). My face has

settled down so beautifully. I am using no topicals at all. I am using

doxycycline once a day (my eye get too bad w/o it) as well as primrose oil

(15? for 30/1200 mg), borage seed oil (17.99 for 50/1000mg), non flushing b

complex (11.09 30/2 per day) and ACES(20.05 for 90/2 per day) and allegra,

although not necessarily for my face. I have been using Nizoral AD shampoo

for my hair, scrubbing very hard and leaving it on for several minutes

twice. I also have been trying to drink as much water as possible and at

least one glass of purple grape juice a day. I'm not sure what did it or if

I finally hit the right combination for my face, but I thank everyone here

for their suggestions and wonderful support.

I am still trying to get my eyes to settle down, I actually think my

sight is beginning to be affected, but I have an appointment next week and

have been using thera tears to try to stabilize them. Thanks again!!
