Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 The email on rosacea flushing: types, patterns, and systems explained a lot about rosacea in a direct, succinct manner. Most interesting to me was systemic flushing involving the sympathetic and autonomic nervous systems. That explains why as the day goes on I tend to get cold hands, feet and sometimes feel cold all over. The email noted that " any activation of these nerves causes vasoconstriction of body blood vessels except in the facial blush/flush areas where it induces potent vasodilatation or flushing. " I have often heard board members say they have cold bodies and hot faces. The email also mentioned sugar/carbohydrate flushing. Again, some members of this board have noted skin improvement on a diet low in carbs and sugars and with more vegtables and protein. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
