cea/Psychosomatic(what-ever)

[Guest guest]

For Andy and egroups,

I thought this was intended to be a

support group. However, the recent posting of Andy

seems to suggest otherwise. He seems to think the

problem is not with the skin, but with the mind. I

have never heard anything as preposterous. Mentally

inducled ?? Mentally Induced ??? What the hell is that

? If he intention is to boost moral for other cea

inflicted individuals, he seems to be failing

miserably. What kind of attitude is he exemplifying?

Telling me that doctors cannot help me and moreover,

suggesting that all doctors have no interest in

helping their patients...that they are merely in their

profession for monetary rewards?? With that neutroic

mentality, Andy, suffers from some social/mental

disease!! Perhaps, I'm harsh, but I found his posting

insulting and offensive. He is telling people to alter

their mentality, but simultaneously, he is telling us

that visits to the doctors are futile for they are

only sucking money from us. What kind of attitude is

that?? cea is a physical disease that does play an

influence on one's mentality, but it is, and I

emphasize that strongly....it is a recognized physical

disease, but like all diseases, how one's attitude in

dealing with the affliction has an affect on the

physicality of the disease. From his posting, He is

suggesting that cea is not a disease, but more of

a simple breakout. What the hell is that??? He is

suggesting that if we just forcus our

energies/attention on other aspects of our lives,

cea will disappear. Bullshit!! I agree that people

need to go on with their lives, but I disagree at his

suggestion that it will completely be cured if we

ignore it and continue on with our daily activities.

We have to do things like seek treatment... go to the

doctor...monitor our diets...to manage our rosacea.

Oh, and one more thing...andy says " Don't read

these messages anymore. " Then, I ask you, Andy, what

the hell are you doing??? You are a member of this

group, and you are contributing and reading the

postings so why don't you listen to your own damn

advice ? How can you expect anyone to follow your

words if you, yourself, are a hypocrite ??? Why don't

you listen to yourself and stop reading the

postings!!! And in your own words, " never come on this

board again!? " You should heed your own words!!!!!!

You are telling us not to read or come to this board

again, but obviously, you can't even listen to your

own advice!!!!

Amber
