Comments on: aspirin for flushing says Dr. Bikowski http://rosacea-support.org/aspirin-for-flushing-says-dr-bikowski.html Where the rosacea community meets to support each other Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:00:06 +0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: maureen http://rosacea-support.org/aspirin-for-flushing-says-dr-bikowski.html/comment-page-1#comment-28567 maureen Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:22:04 +0000 http://rosacea-support.org/aspirin-for-flushing-says-dr-bikowski.html#comment-28567 Don't agree with using aspirin. Can thin the blood cause ulcers. Even using tums with the aspirin isn't good either. To many tums weakens the splinter in the stomach, which then leads to acid reflux, now another whole problem. I use a nettie pot in place of any nasal sprays. My husband and I swear by this. The non iodized salt that is used with this is very healing, helps with allergies or just feeling stuffed up or when you have a cold. Don’t agree with using aspirin. Can thin the blood cause ulcers.

the one time i did use it, got a massive shooting pain in the area of skin between the upper right cheek and smoother skin below the eye. it was unbearable. a deep red dot appeared on one side of the margin. then, the pain again, and on the other side of the margin, another deep red dot appeared. quite small no larger than half a millimeter.

the demodex could not care less about the metrogel antibiotic, however the bacteria in their stomach *appears* to abhor the substance. therefore i avoid the use of metrogel (topically) as i see it as stirring up trouble without much or any benefit at all.

as regards taking the substance internal, it is a type of ‘flagyl’ antibiotic (spelling) and i just prefer to utilise a range of over-priced supplements rather than risk that family of antibiotic.

once i had to go to hospital in 1996. the nurses thought i had a staph infection, isolated me, and gave me some pretty intense antibiotics, understandably enough. the next day, i looked in the mirror, nearly shouted for joy. my golden tan skin had returned. it went away again after i started eating. anyway, i have a range of theories, and metrogel is not included in any regime, because i see other ways as being more effective long-term.

i believe there is, amongst other things, a staph infection associated with rosacea, in a “diffuse” form, difficult to detect.

I have not seen any evidence that metrogel has any effect on demodex mites. There is also a very weak link between one bacteria sometimes found in demodex and an immune response i.e. possible cause a papule or pustule. Theories are fine, but I just don't want people to read all of this as statements of fact when I don't see it that way. davidp.

The non-generic stuff seriously upset my stomach. I tried the metrogel first, and it made it worse, then the aspin, and no help there either.
