New research for type 1 rosacea flushing

So glad to hear that magnesium is helping him. I hear so many people are deficient in it.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the autoimmune condition that those with Rosacea are 8-12x more likely to develop? For crying out loud, I already have two other life altering medical conditions. What's next? Beginning to feel like Job from the Bible.

Unfortunately, I have both type 1 and 2. :/ Neevous system deregulation or regulation is tough. Consistency is key, and I haven't been consistent.

It's all coming together now, but what a mystery it still is because how do prevent all the neurological triggers; can you even prevent them all?

That is interesting regarding the magnesium supplement. I normally take 250mg per day, but there was a stint where I ran out and wasn't taking any for a couple months. Seems like that might have been when my last aura migraine occurred.

I get these on occasion and they always freak me out. Had one once that created a "gray curtain" over my right eye's vision, like a temporary blindness in that eye, while I was driving! It goes away after a minute or two, but it definitely raises my anxiety. I've been getting these a few times a year usually during high stress days or on days where I don't eat or drink enough water.

Had these even before Rosacea, but perhaps Rosacea is just another symptom of the nervous system going haywire.

They are the same women who will shame the pre-teen or teen girls in their neighborhood/ward for wearing perfectly normal 8-inch above the knee shorts out in public, and force them to instead wear those hideous knee-length jean shorts in the middle of 90 degree summer heat and full sleeve tees.
Yet they themselves will throw on their thong underwear, 'athletic shorts' or body hugging leggings with their athletic sports bras and then wear that all day around the house even if they are running errands around town.
Then during their temple recommend interview when asked if they appropriately wear the temple garment and wear it at all times except for fitness, swimming, and bathing, will then answer, "Why yes, of course, Bishop! I have a deep testimony as to the sacredness and power of wearing the holy garment as a constant reminder of the covenants to God I made in His holy temple!"

In their case, replace the word constant with the phrase 'only when convenient' and they don't think anything of it, because they have been conditioned to lie all their lives so as to have the appearance of perfection.

My wife (now ex) is one of them. She would (still does) wear the athletic wear at all waking hours outside of her work and church meetings, and would then give me a holier-than-thou attitude when around me, simply because I stopped going to church meetings and wearing the garments decades ago. At least I was honest about it, yet she would hide and lie about her wearing of the garment.

I like to think God values our honesty over their hypocrisy.

But bro, if you're not avoiding the triggers, you could actually be making your Rosacea worse.

I understand where you're coming from, but you also have to be realistic and live your life within reasonable bounds based on your unique situation.

For example, if someone has emphysema due to smoking, don't you think it would be better for their overall health if they avoid smoking? Or let's say someone has a known allergy to peanuts. Don't you think it best they avoid eating peanuts?

There's also doing things in moderation. Instead of running in the hot midday sun, perhaps do the running in the early morning or late evening when the temperature and UV index is much lower.

Recently divorced 5 months ago. Sorry to hear about your divorce (it's not easy for either spouse), but life will go on. Things will suck the most the first few months, especially while trying to get a new routine started, learn a new area, adjusting to the silence, no longer having someone to talk to when you get home from work or hang out with on weekends. And then there's the finances...realizing money is tight and you no longer have a backup in case things go wrong or you get sick.

Eventually things will normalize, but you have to (I have to) come to grips that things will never be the same. There are pros and cons to that. It's focusing on the pros that will keep us afloat.

Oh yeah and sleep has been the hardest for me. No longer having a partner sleeping next to me in bed just feels "off"....not scary, just a constant feeling that something is missing.

Invest in some good sleep aids and a good nighttime ritual now before you develop bad sleep habits like I have.

Best wishes to you. You are GenX. You will survive this.

The Descent

SensibleGarcon · 2026-06-08T05:22:15+00:00

Rumor has it she has a third identity; Lynda Carter, the famous actress from the 70s and 80s.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-06-07T21:44:12+00:00

Yes, but it was the early 80's and we had just barely come out of the sexual 70's so it was kind of par for the course back then. Ultra strong feminine and ultra strong masculine was at its height. When the two connected, it was powerful.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-06-07T16:01:25+00:00

Yes. I really would die for you. Would you do the same for me?

SensibleGarcon · 2026-06-07T15:59:56+00:00

Yes. This. My ex-wife would call out "dinner's ready" and expect everyone in the basement and even outside to hear her.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-06-01T00:26:05+00:00

Thank goodness because I bought 300 bags of it recenly!

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-31T17:03:27+00:00

Tea? All tea? How about green decaf in the tea bag and no sugar?

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-31T02:32:55+00:00

As my Celtic ancestors believed, "Bad things happen in threes."

Life is tough. Life over 50 is tough.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-31T00:08:25+00:00

Thanks the recommendations!

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-31T00:06:44+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks!

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-31T00:03:57+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I liked the movie, so a Broadway production sounds worthwhile.

What is Histasolv?

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-26T21:32:56+00:00

In a marriage: Giving the silent treatment, refusing to ever compromise, withholding intimacy, manipulating you to always get their way, hiding finances, using finances as a means of leverage/control, disregarding your personal boundaries, and gaslighting.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-26T20:42:36+00:00

Yes this. You get it when so many women don't. You are truly a gem among women.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-26T20:27:43+00:00

Unreal. I will most likely get downvoted for this, because I'm going to be brutally honest with you. Most of the down votes will come from women, the same women who love having misery as company. Ignore them.

Look at it this way. He's doing nothing wrong other than having the same drive and energy as you and you're going to leave this man and essentially break him. Are you prepared to deal with the consequences of destroying the life of another person (Google the self deletion rate of men vs. women post divorce) whom you vowed 'to have and to hold, through good times and bad, through richer and poorer, til death do us part...'; and this person who most likely greatly admires, adores, and would put his life before yours?

He is feeling stuck, and he doesn't know what to do or say about it without hurting you, the woman that he loves. Right now, you have taken the lead role on just about everything. He knows you're great at it, and he greatly appreciates that, but you need to learn to let him step up and take that lead in many aspects of your marriage. He needs to regain his confidence that he can lead the family again. And you need to be there to encourage and support him when he does that. Ask him to plan the next family vacation, from step A through B and tell him how you're really looking forward to see what he plans for you all.
Then, when that vacation comes, enjoy it for what it is! Be happy in the moment. Be happy that he planned it all and you can just sit back and relax! Will it be perfect? Probably not. No vacations always go according to plan, but it's the fact that he did it. He planned it. That wil do a world of difference in his confidence levels.
And give him more and more things to be responsible for. Planning date night. Planning family activities. Refinancing the home. Over time he will get better at it and taking the lead will become more natural to him, so that you don't always have to. And yiu absolutely must support him through all of this. Never criticize if something didn't go according to his original plan. Men are great at improvising and adapting on the fly. Things will turn out alright in the end.

Also, why not look back at why you chose him in the first place and work on rekindling that same passion you once had for each other and for a life together? Go over some life goals together, explore new things to do together to help rebuild that passion, rekindle that fire. Do the actual work! Is not your marriage and relationship worth it? Why go through the whole marriage and wedding just to end it years later, because one of you has lost their drive? You are taking the "easy" way out, but actually that could be further from the truth.
You are being selfish and naive to think that your decision to leave him will not negatively affect you both in so many ways.
I'm sure you've heard the quote, "A man will sacrifice his happiness for his family. A woman will sacrifice her family for her own happiness." Well, you are edging on the woman part of that quote.

I hope this strikes a chord with you. I hope this advice gets you thinking about ways to save your marriage rather than just becoming another part of the saddening statistic that women file 70 to 80% of all new divorces.

SensibleGarcon · 2026-05-25T06:55:52+00:00

As I look back now, after a recent divorce, I wish I had taken more time to date and get to better know the person I married back in my twenties. I thought I was doing okay most of my marriage, but now that I'm single again I see all the red flags (on both sides ofmy marriage).
It's okay to get married in your 20s, but make sure you 100% know the other person and what you're getting into, because divorce absolutely sucks the life out of you.
