Rosacea Support

The Rosacea Support Group is a no-cost, moderated, email group for rosacea sufferers to offer support to each other as a community of fellow rosacea sufferers who are willing to share their symptoms, and their successful and failed treatments.

The email group functions as an online rosacea self help group. The Rosacea Support Group was created as a e-mail support group for rosacea suffers to post to the rosacea forum, rosacea chat, or rosacea bulletin board. The Rosacea Support Group is for members to exchange information about rosacea symptoms and rosacea treatments that are listed as 'the stand of care' by physicians as well as other non prescribed medication over the counter or via the internet.

Most of us have learned that job, family and love life and dating, educational institutions, death and divorce, etc. are some of the causes of rosacea. However, when you have the regular problem that non rosacea sufferers have with the additional problems of redness and rosacea papules, seborrheic dermatitis and acne pimples at ages of 25 to 55 and still not being an alcoholic or teenager causes 'stress in itself'. The rosacea stress and and the 'regular work day' can lead to what is known as 'Rosacea Burnout'. This stage is when you are beyond exhaustion with family, friends, other work peers or students, and also with your dermatologist. It is when you are drained of all physical, spiritual, emotional reserves and sometimes "financial reserves" and when when you feel as though you just can't fight this red battle any longer....then you may possible consider the outreach of The Rosacea Support Group ! If you reach the 'Rosacea Burnout' stage, then you are at danger of ending up with family member, friends and professional peers that 'feel sorry for you, but tend to avoid you, and your life is one without job promotions, romantic dates, or a lonely 'shut in' at home reading a book or watching television. We as rosacea sufferers need care as our families often depend on us for their basic needs of food, rent or mortgage payments, clothing, etc. And most of all we need friends that can understand what we are 'going through' so thus the Rosacea Support Group maybe be an enjoyable group for you to join !
