Leading cea researcher in Ireland

[Guest guest]

Before I start I just want to say that Dr was amazed that he was

refered to as a leading rosacea researcher by the NRS.He has been involved

in a little research but only in one aspect of the condition and I will get to

that later. Like Dr Nase,Dr powell said that there are lots of different types

of

cea and he agreed with me that in the future there will be new names

added on to rosacea to describe each type.The one thing that research has

proven that we all have in commen are excessive amounts of demodex

mites.Demodex mites are the only research that he was involved with in

the past and he is also involved in the research that was granted by the

NRS to Maynooth College in Dublin.I cant say that Dr. had any-

thing interesting or new to say to me.He said that demodex mites are

not the cause of rosacea but they do exacerbate the condition.I talked

to him about all of the different things that people in the group have tried

from antihestimines to diet to different potions but he had no input there.

He was shocked to hear that people were using clonidine.Im sorry if any

of you were expecting more but to tell you all the truth I knew in my

heart that this man would not know something new.He did put me on

a drug called Trimethoprim.I have checked the search but no one using

it.Anyone know anything about this drug.

Hello Rory

Why was Dr shocked that people were using Clonidine ?

I took Trimethoprim a couple of years ago for about 5 weeks. It was very

effective on my skin but made me feel so ill I had to stop. Apparently it

is a strong antibiotic and in the first couple of weeks strips the gut of

much of the good and bad bacteria. Most people's system can cope with this

, they do not have any problems and can carry on taking the drug.

Unfortunately a small minority including me can't. I was told the problems

I had were unusual but I have come across other people who encountered a

similiar experience.

Don't let me put you off but if you are taking it I would recommend taking a

probiotic like acidophilus at the same time.

Regards
