		<description>Hi All,

Been awhile since ive been on here just reading through all the posts top see if there has been any developments!!

I have done more research and alot of people are now having success with rifaximin but like everything in oz its hard to get a hold of its found in sme diharrea tablets etc.

Perosnally i have had great results with using BB cream ive been been using &quot;innisfree bb cream&#039; its a great concealer and is also a SPF 34 so can wear all day long and it doesnt look like you have it on for us blokes.

But wanted to make this permant so i went and invested in Gemini Laser - sure is daunting to go through with it but the results have been outstanding i no longer wear any skin products, the flushing still comes but nowhere near as red or the intensity and the flushing subsides with 10 mins back to normal skin colour. You look like you get bashed up abit with swelling and skin colour but after 8-10 days your good to go back in the public!

Ive booked in for another round to try knocking it on the head for a little and to just get top up treatment throughout the year, it is expensibe but if you add up the dr bills, creams, tablets im sure laser would come out in front. 

The redness on my face is pretty much gone even in a hot room where i would struggle the most it still goes red but no one would think any different of you.
I honestly think this is the way forward ive gone 4 weeks without using a single product on my face and my skin looks like it did before this horrible thing takes a hold your life.

Anyway just my story/journey keep fighting the fight and you/we will get there</description>

       this site is very beneficial to people with rosacea,it is a way we can communicate about treatments.most of us have been to dermatologists and we investigate what is the most suitable for us.most of us are sensible and there fore we know which avenue we persue. it is a way we vent about having this disease</description>

		<description>I tried the links under &#039;dermatologists&#039;, but none of those links works. It does not contain any names or addresses. Yet, the ETS surgeons are listed there by name, some with addresses added. NOT kosher!</description>

		<description>Google Ads can follow you across sites. From my investigations ETS ads won&#039;t show on this page because of the content here, but might show if ETS ads were interacted with on (i.e. clicked) another site before visiting this site.

Not saying that all ads here are recommendations from me, but I do filter out sites that are spammy or scammy looking.

regards,
dp.</description>

		<description>Maybe that is a good enough reason to remove the links (free ads...) of the ETS surgeons then?...</description>

		<description>Hi Mia,

You can find how to contact me on the About page above.

ETS is definitely not to be entered into lightly.

There are warnings on the site about ETS (admittedly not linked from this page), here is a warning from an accomplished researcher: &lt;a href=&quot;http://rosacea-support.org/rosacea-ets-comments-and-warnings&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Rosacea ETS Comments and Warnings&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>It is great to present treatment options for people, but I am somewhat hesitant as the website is more about advertising than anything else. 
Also do not understand what the reference (and contacts!) for hyperhidrosis treatment (surgical, to start with!) is all about. The fact that you only list sympathectomy in relation to hyperhidrosis is a warning sign. 

The fact that there is no &#039;contact&#039; for the &#039;moderator&#039; is another warning sign. 

Clearly you have not done your research. BTW, sympathectomy results in permanent vasodilation (also in the face), which can make the rosacea symptoms worse. 

Here is what the medical professionals have to say about sympathectomy:

Patients should be clearly warned that sympathectomy is not as minor a procedure as usually asserted
Ann Thorac Surg 2001;71:1116-1119

Patients should be informed of the bradycardia resulting from sympathectomy
Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 Dec;74(6):2076-81.

bradycardia as likely, compensatory sweating as obligatory after Sympathectomy
Clin Auton Res. 2003 Dec;13 Suppl 1:I36-9. 

Bradicardia, hypotension and hypoxia are frequently observed during sympathicotomy
Clinical Autonomic Research, Volume 13, Number 2, 147-161,

Sympathectomy induces adrenergic excitability of cutaneous C-fiber nociceptors
J Neurophysiol. 1996 Jan;75(1):514-7.

limited sympathectomy does not reduce postoperative compensatory sweating
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12514588

Hyperhidrosis is not caused by &#039;overactivity&#039; of the sympathetic nervous system
Eur Neurol 2000;44:112-116 (DOI: 10.1159/000008207)

etc, etc.
