update: my photoderm with Dr. Ritchie experience

[Guest guest]

As promised, I'm giving an update for those who may care. If you

missed my first message and are interested in the gory details of my

first three treatments with Dr. Ritchie in KNoxville, search the

archives for the message. In the two weeks following my third

treatment, my condition was greatly improved, to the point where no-one

would even know I had rosacea. In the past two weeks, the pinkness

appears to have creapt back, though not as severe as before. (When I

sit down in front of a computer, I really feel my face getting hot).

When I come inside from walking around in the cool winter air, my face

looks perfect. Overall I'm very satisified, but I would like to

capture the way it was in the first two weeks and keep it that way.

Several people on the list (thank you) emailed me to tell me that 3

treatments will give me results, but probobably not lasting ones... so

end of march I will be going down for my fourth treatment, and there

may be a fifth one after that, for good measure. For the record, I

look better now than I ever did while on a daily dose of tetracycline

or doxy. And my intestines are doing MUCH better without the doxy.

As Ann likes to say, there's always hope. She's right.
