I am asking, for while my doctor is great and she explained everything to me and suggested that I follow up with a few of my other doctors.... I still would like the personal touch of INFO from someone that has actually lived with the issues of Rosacea.

and..... while doctors are book trained, they don't always know all there is to know about the problem / disease.

I have been doing some research on Rosacea and Lupus, and Lupus is often wrongly diagnosed as Rosacea, and that which my Dermatologist told me to follow up with my Rheumy doctor to be tested for (and recheck my RA)..... I am just so darn tired of it all and slowly getting depressed again with all the worries that I must face having an Autoimmune Disease, possibly 2 or 3 now.

.................................................. .. Anyone here have Lupus?

BIG SIGH!! BIG SIGH!! BIG SIGH!!

....... When does it ever end? - or DOES IT?
