Hi all - about 5 years ago I started getting pimples on my face (come on - at the time I was about 38 - much too old for zits) also my cheeks were pink all the time - the zits would come and go - would take forever to heal - my face never was clear - but I would be left with broken blood vessels on my face. I went to a dermatologist and got Metrocream for it - it never did really seem to help much though. Twice in the last 2 years I have had laser treatments $175.00 a crack - to get rid of the broken blood vessels. In my gut I felt it was steroid related. Of course my endo poo poo’d the thought when I mentioned it. Well - recently (3 weeks ago) I went from taking .5 of dex one day and .375 the next ......to .375 everyday. Guess what - no Rosacea - my face is TOTALLY cleared. Really weird.- but I’m thrilled. To think I had that for 5 years - spent a lot of time trying to cover it with makeup, etc and it’s gone now. Unfortunately - I have not lost any weight from lowering my dose - guess I’m just packing on more weight with age (that and eating too much) I’m still up a good 10 pounds - but it’s definitely plain ol fat - not anything resembling muscle.

Just thought this was interesting - wondered if anyone had heard of such a thing.
