Hi Debbie,
I found your message on the e-mail while I was checking my
e-correspondence this afternoon.
I am curious about your treatment and history, as I am having excellent
luck with the Rosacea Ltd. disks; better luck than with Cleocin, Retin-A,
doxycycline (allergic to), tetracycline (just OK) and erythromycin, which
didn't seem to help at all (no difference in skin).
An interesting effect occured with me quite recently. I had been placed
on a prescription for Fosamax since I'm showing some "bone thinning" in my
DEXA scans. I must be allergic to the Fosamax--I thought, at first, I
was having a really terrible "flare-up" of rosacea; then I figured that
the "flare up" began about the time I started this prescription. Within
two days of quitting the medication, the blobby hivelike rash on my face
was beginning to look a lot better; within a week, it was 100% gone. I'd
be interested in knowing if allergy to certain meds have been mistaken for
a rosacea flare up.
The disks, I think, are helping to make less noticeable, the small
capillaries too! This is great because I suspect those little veins act
as "fertilizer" for outcroppings of zits--a personal "Carol" theory, only.

else did. I would be willing to post my experience about my rosacea history of
medications, "the good, the bad and the ugly" as it were, if anyone is
interested.
