I do NOT like this. My ANA and other markers indicate autoimmune issues. I am wondering if this is a neurological phenomenon or 'something else'.
It does not appear to be rosacea, nor exactly a malar rash, but, it is like wearing a tight sock over my nose....ugh. Nose sock...yep, I am not normal.  |
Hi cylelops,
I have rosacea, and sometimes it does feel strange. Burning, tingling and tight. I notice that it does get more extreme and symptomatic in the winter and is worse at night. I've been tested for lupus a few times and it's always be negative. I've been dealing with the rosacea off and on for years, long before I ever got PN.
