Elena,
Since you were a normal temperature before developing Rosacea, perhaps Rosacea
plays a part in your case, I don't know. I could be the odd one having been so
cold. I thought I read someone else's post from the group that she also runs
hot.
I went to a practitioner who is well trained in classical homeopathy, which
apparently is quite different from "merely choosing a remedy" based on a symptom
as she used to tell me. She prescribed psorinum (sore EYE num) based on various
patterns I had, which remedies changed over the course of 2 years as I cleared
one level after another. I had a lot to conditions to turn around :) Rosacea was
only one in a long line of problems. My practitioner did attempt to treat my
face through homeopathy but we both don't know how effective it was. Certainly
my face didn't get any worse, but it surely didn't get any better, either. Not
until I started the Diet and Z cream treatment did I get marked improvement.
For your heat problems, if you have access to a classical homeopathy
practitioner or a person well versed in prescribing Chinese herbs, these are two
treatments that I'm certain could help you. You don't have to continue to suffer
from this internal heat as you describe in your two posts, although it may take
some time to turn it around. So, you'd have to be patient.
Since you mention you live in New England, there are many good Chinese medical
practitioners who've graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture in
Watertown, MA, outside Boston. It's the oldest acupuncture school in the U.S.
Many of the current heavy-weights in the Chinese medical field in the U.S. came
from this school and have made significant contributions towards education and
treatment. The following link shows a list of graduates of the school state by
state. There's a lot of practitioners in the New England states!

Hope this helps.

I am so tired of being hot I just thought it HAD to be the Rosacea. I can't say
I was ever cold before the Rosacea. I was what I considered normal. I was hot
when you'd expect people to be hot and cold when appropriate. Now forget it.
It is Sept. in New England and was maybe in the seventies today and I still have
my air-conditioners blasting at ten p.m..........I freeze out my whole family.
I can't open the windows because I have a ten year old that is very allergic
during spring and fall. But once the first frost hits then the windows get
opened and so they all freeze that way. But I feel like it is easier to put on
layers and get warm than to find a way to get cool when the heat is radiating
from inside you. I was so hoping that my hotness would get under control once
the Rosacea was under control. Which Remedy do you think would help my hotness?
I am familiar with homeopathic remedies. What
> was the one that helped you with the cold? Well, thanks for answering my
little experimental question.
