Guest guest Posted September 19, 1999 Report Share Posted September 19, 1999 Hi ... I can sympathize because I too had a killer flare up this morning. I was going to post the group about it but I have been posting so many that I thought maybe everyone was going to think I was a whiner or something so I held off. I don't know what my problem is but it has been one after another. I also have a sinus condition which seems to go along with the flares. I am not sure what the connection is but possibly when my skin swells so does the sinus area thereby making one feel congested. I also get kind of a fluttering heartbeat which a lot of other people have reported as having too. I wonder if your flare could possibly be related to your nerves... do you suffer from anxiety at all? I often wonder if that is maybe part of my problem. I am a workaholic and unless I keep myself in check I often find myself putting in 60-80 hour work weeks. The last two weeks I have let myself go and have been working like a dog. I worked right up to 9 o'clock this morning and there I was...exhausted, adrenalized, nervous and in the middle of one mighty bad flare with pretty much the exact same symptoms that you described plus the heart thing. A friend finally convinced me to get some sleep so I did... I just woke up and thankfully everything has calmed down. If our nerves are part of the problem maybe we would be wise to try something like yoga or something like that. I was thinking about about it a while back but still have not pursued it. At the very least it might mellow us out. I guess ideally a person would live as healthy as possible... proper exercise, water intake, good nutrition and rest... with that if we use rosacea friendly skin products like Zia and jojoba... take the proper meds and/or supplements... avoid our personal triggers and possibly incorporate into our routine photoderm treatments... along with maybe an hour of meditation or yoga everyday or something of that nature. I guess if we gave a plan like that 6 months or something maybe we would be doing alright. But anyways, I am starting to ramble so I had better get out of here before I get all nervous or something. Best of luck with your flare and condition. J.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm particularly stressed today, but on Saturday I went four-wheel driving, which involves plenty of nervousness and adrenaline! Yesterday one cheek was burning, it's still worse but both cheeks and chin are off today, plus my eyes etc. I certainly don't put in overly long hours, it's enough that I spend 2 hours a day commuting to my 8 hour-a-day job! Anyway, I'm off to the pharmacy to see what they have to offer! (like I couldn't do with the money elsewhere this week!!)
