Re: ETS-Flushing Disorder

[Guest guest]

I am really impressed with Drury and her ability to bring

ETS into the public eye. I wonder if someone here could write an

article describing the difficulty of living with rosacea. I know we

had a poster a few years back who was a published author. I don't

know if he/she is still around. It would be wonderful for someone who

is a professional writer to do this because they have the skill and

the background that editors of magazines like. Perhaps this person

could interview Dr. Nase after his book is published.

Anyway, sometimes morning shows post a synopsis of stories from that

day. I'll go poke around the GMA website and report back.

Take care!
