Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Hi Need your advice, sorry to be bugging everyone at the moment. My face has. I think probable reached the more severe stage of rosacea, and my sensitivity is quite extreme. Bearing te latter symtom in mind I am considering laser. I know everyone is different, but I now have lumpy, bumpy, dry (but shiny), extremely sensitive (can't use anything - can't move without havng some kind of reaction) papuley, swollen, blushing and flushing, swollen covered in mini veins skin. i don't know whether to wait to see if in the next few years a new laser or treatment for rosacea may come out or to go for treatment now. At the same time making this condition worse would be even more unbearable. I have tried all the antibiotics minocin, clarithromycin etc. Idon't know what to do now. This will sound a funny thing to say but I weigh 140lbs and am 5ft 5 - i wonder if losing a little weight migt help at all what do you all think. I was asked to a party last night and went, I felt awful. A few people commented at how mcuh I'd " changed " and I felt my face was bloated (I don't know about swellers amongst you, but that full balloon feeling of the face) . I thought I shouldn't be so vain to let it effect me but it is getting me so down, people say to avoid shallowness but my face hurts so much too. I had been taking aspirin with success until my eyelids starting swelling and the doc said " go off it striaght away " . Any ideas ? I used to be so confident- and yep took looks for granted. Now i'm not sure i can go on ... it does effect everything. This sounds extreme and please I know you lot aren't councellers but I'm thinking about just chucking everything in I can't live with this any more and I can't seem to find any hope. Has anyone else felt suicidal totally due to this condition? --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 The origin of rosacea is damaged blood vessels. Relief lies in treating and/or eliminating damaged vessels. I recommend ordering a copy of Dr Nase's book if possible. It is available from his site: http://www.drnase.com/ Book title is " BEATING ROSACEA: VASCULAR, OCULAR & ACNE FORMS " I suggest reading this book prior to deciding on a form of laser therapy. I also suggest using a combination of Ester vitamin C and Grapeseed Extract, and/or citrus bioflavonoids and/or Rutin, another bioflavonoid. These will all strengthen your vessels and help them recover. Dr Nase recommended Ester C and GSE. Visit the cea- support site (URL below) and use the search engine to locate the posts.
