Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

How scary! Take care of yourself!

I just called in sick with the stupids attack of the snot. Kinda the same. How is it that a headcold incapacitates my brain before I even take any drugs? Gonna be going through a lot of kleenex today.

Yikes, Gar! Glad you came through it.

Who was it who recommended Mario Badescu for rosacea? I want to make sure I bought the right stuff. The keratoplast creme soap?

Burrell, I use Mario Badescu but I don't have rosacea. I can ask my friend who sells it what they recommend though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Glad you are better,Typo. It maybe difficult to control for the next 24 hours

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Holy crap, Gar. Glad you're all right! Take care of yourself, man, that's scary. Definitely not minor league stuff.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

How scary, Typo. I'm glad you're OK.

Thanks lisah. My face feels way better today, so something in yesterday's combo of treatments (Badescu & cortisone cream) worked.

It was Sparky who mentioned Mario Badescu helping with rosacea: paging Sparky1 for product rec

Who was it who recommended Mario Badescu for rosacea? I want to make sure I bought the right stuff. The keratoplast creme soap?

I use the cream soap or the make-up remover soap, the chamomile cleansing lotion, and the aloe moisturizer. For me, if I go to anything else, the rosacea comes back. When I tried another moisturizer, the rosacea stayed away but I got a bit of eczema.

I seem to love all of the things that irritate rosacea: red wine, hot yoga, coffee . . . so the fact that I can keep it at bay without any metrogel by using the Badescu stuff was a big win.
