Pred works as you all know because it is anti inflammatory and immuno supressive. I am starting to think a combo of mepacrin and LDN would be perfect for us.... Even mepacrin at say 50mg every other d...

I see what you are saying lamarr. I have a good understanding of how it works, but just assumed it would fall under the suppressant classification. It makes sense that it isn't though.   I re...

Lamarr,   thanks for the clarification. I automaticall thought it would be a suppresant due to its use in Lupus which is also treated by the other suppresants you mentioned (Prednisone etc). B...

Interesting.   Do you know how this drug is suppose to work in helping with Accutane side effects? Mechanisms involved? It is an immunostimulant but isn't the Accutane induced flushing/Rosacea ...

Yeah it is another potential option i remember you trying it before and i said stick with it if you can...   Only other treatment that excites me for accutane induced side effects is low dose nal...

Hey Lamarr,   what are your thoughts on Dapsone? It is also an antimilarial and I have read some snipits from studies saying that it is also effective for Rosacea symptoms.   I tried it fo...

Seems like Milk Thistle can help guys...   One of milk thistle's many beneficial properties is its ability to regenerate damaged cells, including liver cells. The liver acts as a large filter, fi...

Curcumin Helps my eyes (has some pretty potent anti inflammatory effects) is also said to support liver health aswell. Will be having another LFT (liver function test) when i get back from the states ...

Lamarr,   Thanks a lot for all the info! I think I am also going to give it a try.   Can I ask at what point you noticed the yellowing? From the get go or did it take some time? Is your ...

Lamarr,   I was going to add that the part that makes me the most nervous about this medication Mepacrine is that it collects in the tissues of the body and that levels in the tissues are consid...

Seattle JT,   I too take Propranolol occasionaly when I have heavy social situations and it does work well for that. I don't take it regularly though as one of its most common side effects is im...

Lamarr, glad to see you are doing well. I am also interested in the Mepacrine. I am hoping you can answer some questions I have regarding the medication when you have a few minutess;     2...

Well, month 8 here and the flushing is still there. The dryness in my lips and skin has improved and I am seeing a little bit of minor black heads on my nose - perhaps this is a good sign of things t...

how is mepacrine working for you so far? i just have a question for you lamarr (& i haven't read this entire thread yet so, sorry if i missed this part)- did you notice facial flushing/rosacea DUR...

Just saw Dr Chu this evening....   He has put me on 100mg twice per day of the mepacrine. Which is actually the dose used in lupus. He said i could well have lupus, even though the numerous tests...

Hay Lamarr, sorry to hear that man...wondering if you can share the name/info of the anti malarial drug? PM me if you like. Keep me posted on how it goes. Cheers.

Well, as I have said before, my flushing has not stopped for good. I have just stopped letting it take over my life. I flush, I feel hot, I develop broken blood vessels, I developed rosacea. As man...

By the way lamarr, you seem to be in the know about this, what is oxymetazoline? said to be Sansrosa's sister? Is this another product they are developing or is this the Sansrosa product? I am a li...

okayz, it's stories like yours that give me hope. You and chase have been lucky enough to have this resolve.   I feel that it consumes me 24/7. I, like others am caught in a terrible cycle of w...

SO I have been doing some reading up...and came across this from a book by Dr. Nase.   Chapter 7 in Beating Rosacea talks about a recipe for rosacea. Geoffrey's main points were ;   Sufferer...

I don't really. I had stiffness in my back for the first few months but that seems to be better now. I walk daily for about an hour or so, usually in the evenings. I also do some light resistant tr...

Soul to be honest with you i can't answer you accurately. I can say this though. It has been proven some of accutane metabolites stay in the body for 6 months. Along with this it is also known vitamin...

How does Accutane cause side effects years after when the drug is out of your system in a month after you finish? I mean, I can understand flushing and things that start while the drug is in you syst...

Alot of us post accutaners have issues with omega 3, not so much 6 and i'm not sure about 9. The thing is it actually made my flushing worse and alot of people believe it can kick start other issues. ...

Soul i recommend you drop the flaxseed buddy.   Hey, wondering how come? It's actually an Omega 3-6-9 oil. I have read that it helps with dry skin and can also help with flushing/hot flashes.....
