...its called Rosacea! <--- Click! That li
ttle rash that appeared around the first of December, just little red bumps, began to spread. It went down my neck, up around my ear, then around my mouth and cheeks. Saw the dermatologist on Monday. (I guess my body decided I needed ANOTHER specialist!) She kindly explained what it is, how to care for it, and that it will take a while to clear this up because it is so extensive. Oh, and she told me there is 'occular rosacea,' which can cause scratchy, yucky eyes. Hmmm...and I thought allergies were keeping me from wearing my contacts!
Rosacea is brought on by STRESS, some foods, and other triggers. Guess what was going on around the first of December? FINALS! So, basically, I have brought this on myself. Once it starts, it just keeps going. *sigh*
So here are some pictures. More as I am able to see some improvement along the way. There is no cure, but if I can identify triggers (STRESS!) it will help reduce it.
Different lighting changes the look, ^^Last week, Below-Sunday
Never a dull moment there, is there? Hope you can figure out how to control it!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray!
Psalms 130:1-2, 5-7 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications (5-7) I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

Always lifting up prayer!
ReplyDeletePsalms 40:5, 11, 13 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. (11) Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. (13) Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

What comfort we have knowing that the Lord is our Refuge! Praying!
ReplyDeletePsalms 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

The Lord uses everything that happens for a purpose. Praying!
ReplyDelete2 Corinthians 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

ReplyDeletePsalms 91:9-12 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

I'm here praying right now.
ReplyDeletePsalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
