Aliza writes >what do you take for your rosacea? I take Metrogel, Desonide, Alegra, and Tetracycline. I have recently been able to wean off the Tetracycline, but MUST take the Alegra every day. I use the Metrogel and Desonide when ever I have a flare-up. If I skip the Alegra, when I'm around the ferrets, my eyes swell shut and my mouth get all swollen and icky. My babies still give lots of kisses and I snuggle every day. If it helps, the way I found out it was ferret allergy and not Rosacea was, when I went to Australia for 2 weeks it cleared up completely w/in a few days. When I got back my face swelled up and got all nasty with in hours. I confirmed this when I went away to Michigan. In Mi, no allergies. With in hours of coming back my lips were swelling and my eyes were itching like crazy. Allergy confirmed. Best of luck, Shelley [Posted in FML issue 4003]
