Well-it was very quick!!! She wants to try minocycline first before we go the topical route. I have a follow up in 6 weeks. We will see how it works.

Nope but sometimes you are at the mercy of what the doctor wants to do....we shall see how it goes.
Also, there is some 'new' thoughts on rosacea thinking it bacterial (mites is what they are saying) so that explains some use of antibiotics.
"The immune response results in inflammation, as evident in the papules and pustules of subtype 2 rosacea," Dr. Powell said. "This suggests that these bacteria found in the mites could be responsible for the inflammation associated with the condition."

i personally am sort of anti-antibiotics. i want my body to respond to them if/when i ever REALLY need them.
i've been taking the good belly shots (recommended by my doctor for gastro issues) and i can say that my skin is a LOT better. i have taken other types of probiotics over the years but i'm really happy with this one and will continue to use it.
re: the inflammation, dr. perricone recommends alpha lipoic acid for inflammation. i bought some recently and started taking it again. very good results.
good luck to you!
please recycle, it matters...

I totally agree with you on the antibiotic thing!! But as I noted above there seems to be some consensus that rosacea can be caused by bacteria. I have also been taking probiotics (Align which did not help me much and lately Pearls which work better for me) lately and they could be helping as well.
I do not have any inflammation anymore-just the reddish spots where my outbreaks would always take place.

i don't know much about rosacea at all but i think the alpha lipoic acid is pretty nutrative to the skin. dr. perricone recommends it and he's pretty knowledgeable on skin care and diet/supplements. just something to consider.

My face has cleared up as well. Like you, it's the best it's looked in quite a long time. My concern now is that I can keep it clear for a long, extended period of time (I can deal with a small, stray pimple on occasion, but I hope to not deal with anything worse than that) so that I can work on tone and texture.
Congrats to you...keep me posted!

Is this what you take? Where do you get it? You drink (is it a drink, or is it yogurt-like?) one per day in the a.m.? What does it do for you? I'm quite interested, can you tell?

Haha - I was just looking at that, too. At the top of their website is a store locator. It's found at whole foods and genuardis around my home. I'm gonna get some tomorrow. Plus there's a link for a buy 1, get 1 free coupon....

I know the drink ones have more 'stuff' in them but I like the convenience of the pills and I figure it's better than not taking anything at all. What was weird was that the Align product did nothing for me but I really notice the Pearl product working.

Back to the subject of the thread - guess what? I had someone at work today tell me how great my skin looked, and I had on NO makeup! Can you believe that??? I can't - yippee! :rendeer:

I'm thinking I may give this probiotics thing a try.

I totally understand that sentiment. SO knows I have been sooo upset over the whole face thing so he mentioned last week how good it was looking and in my head I added that part on too!!

But the only eason I ever sought out seabuck thorn oil as we discussed on the other thread is that the demodex mites (I think that's the correct name) that some think causes at least some roseacea supposedly hate it.
Thankfully, I haven't had to resort to either oral or topical meds or the seabuck thorn oil in quite a while.
