What are beta blockers?

I second this. I got ETS and it only helped ONE small aspect of my
rosacea. ONE of my triggers is social blushing, and ETS eliminated
that. The majority of triggers are still there, so it's only made a
minor dent for me. It sounds like this person's MAJOR trigger was
social/sympathetic blushing. It won't help at all if this type of
blushing isn't a trigger for you. So, remember everyone is
different and that there are risks. You can actually get worse from
it if you get the side effect of gustatory flushing. I was lucky in
that my only side effect was goosebumps when I eat anything super-
sweet....wierd!! Also, my facial skin is a little more dry than it
used to be. If I were to decide now, I wouldn't do it. I just
wouldn't take the risk of surgery and possible ETS side effects for
such a small improvement. Also, consider the fact that beta
blockers are extremely safe and do the same thing that ETS does.

Once again, I got ETS and it helped a little, but I'm far from
cured!!
