Are we expecting too much??

[Guest guest]

cea sucks. it cannot be cured, or at least not yet. Marjorie's comments the

other day about the vast number of rosacean who have experienced success with

the mainstream treatment ( gentle cleanser, water based moisturizer, oral and

topical and avoidance of triggers ) made me think that maybe we are expecting

too much. I have rosacea. My skin will never be like it was before I had

rosacea. I have to accept the way my skin is ( with its pinkness and sensitivity

) and try to live around it. I don't mean to abandon all which I know is good

and safe practise, but realize that my skin is the way it is and all I can do is

try to keep it from getting worse. I hope that does not sound defeatist, just

realist.

I pray that I will be strong enough to accept this about my skin and stop trying

to fix something that cannot be fixed.

I am off now to wash with Dr, Sy's soap, use the jojoba oil of my skin feels too

upset, apply my Metrogel, then my Neutrogena for sensitive skin. And I admit

that I still have a little non-acceptance left, use the rosacure on that little

spot on my cheek.

Love you all for your help and your guidance and your patience.

Have a wonderful weekend.
