Re: work environment

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have a cleaning business, where I do general cleaning, hard floor care and

carpet care. It's not the best job (in my opinion), for someone with

rosacea. I frequently am " overheated " by the work and therefore have more

frequent flare-ups.

Well, first of all don't go into teaching. I've been wondering the same

thing. My " R " is very much triggered from stress which is part of my life

daily for atleast 6 hours. I hate to think about changing careers since I've

only been teaching for 3 yrs. and so much money went into college, but it

does have me thinking about a different line of work. If you think of

anything let me know. Ha! Good luck.

For me, its midwifery and childbirth. I have been a homebirth midwife for

many years. Also a Childbirth Educator and a Lactation Consultant. I teach

childbirth education classes, breastfeeding consulting and private

counseling, as well as train professionals. I love my work. Though there is

an inherent stress and responsibility, I actually get to practice alot of

deep mindfulness and silence in my work, in order to achieve the attention

and stillness required. So, although I am in many home environments, I find

my work very beneficial to my rosacea condition.

<<Just a quick question, what does everyone do for a

living? I, as I've mentionned before have started

working in an office for the last year and my rosacea

as got significantly worse, it's always really hot,

stuffy and has quite aggressive air conditioning. I

know this sound stupid but I'm actually trying to thin

of a career which might not make my rosacea so severe.

Any suggestions?? >>

It might be possible to do much or all work from the

home, especially if you are computer-savvy. Lots of

companies allow employees to telecommute at least part

of the time. Another option might be to start a small

home business doing some type of service; medical

transcription is one that comes to mind. Working at

home would enable you to control your environment to a

more suitable comfort level. I'm a contract programmer

and have done a good deal of work at home. That's

always my first choice.

No, never. In fact, many women do much better when pregnant, and even while

breastfeeding. (Quite consistently, too) Although part of that is that many

women remove alcohol and caffeine from their diets, lessening triggers) But

pregnancy has always had an interesting effect on the autoimmune system.

There may be many reasons why, but on my watch, women with rosacea improve

while pregnant & nursing. Now, there's a solution to how to get relief

from this problem.... (tee, hee)
