Newbie - Excited to be finally post - Success Stories

Hi all,

A little about me:
=========
BASIC ROSACEA SUBTYPE(S:
Subtype I Erythematotelangiectatic

SKIN TYPE
Normal to oily on nose and forehead hyper-sensitive, reacts badly to sunlight

CO-EXISTING CONDITIONS
Bee sting allergy, suspect candida (have greatly reduced sugar in last 6 months)

CURRENT MAIN SYMPTOMS & AREAS AFFECTED
Permanent redness on cheeks forehead and chin. Occasional burning sensations, stinging.
A few spider veins, facial swelling, in winter more eye redness but SUGAR CUTBACK has greatly reduced my eye inflammation.

ONSET AND PROGRESSION OF SYMPTOMS
My rosacea started at 31. As a child I always reddened while running, but it was cute then. Then it started making me age more. I hate being the red one in the photos.

TRIGGERS
Heat, sun, exposure to cold and then hot (outside to inside), summer, wine,


MOST SUCCESSFUL TREATMENTS
Prosacea! (just 1 week into this)...I'll post in future to let you know success - may be able to go makeup free more often...
IPL - lasts a 4-6 months but worth it -- I've done this for 2 years. Big difference but costs $$ to maintain.
Shishedo Sunscreen!
Perfekt Concealer for under my eyes
Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation! (great coverage)
Biore Deep Pore Cleanser (daily) and Pore strips (once a month or more
Proactive Acne Cream (whenever small pimples show up)

LEAST SUCCESSFUL TREATMENTS
MetroGel
Clindacin

TREATMENTS I'm just starting:
Prosacea - better after 5 days.
Redness Redux (trying to mix with Prosacea but having more immediate results with Prosacea)
YAG - Looking forward to trying my first Yag treatment for the vessel on my chin that IPL has never helped.
