[rosacea] Re: cold ponds cream.

Tamera,
I tried the zcream for the first time last night. It made my face
feel hot, and my eyes watered like never before. I wasnt able to
keep the open...good thing I did it right before bedtime. Is this
normal?

take the z cream a little on your eyebrows and in your ears? I
never thought to put the Tea Tree oil in my shampoo. That sounds
like a better idea than just buying Tea Tree Shampoo and
conditioner. I used it once a long time ago and was not impressed
with how it left my hair but putting the oil in my Trader Joe's
shampoo might be worth a try. So there is a support forum with
demodex solutions users? Just type in demodexforum.com? I'd like
to go there and see the pictures and hear the stories. I'm so glad
you are doing so well with this Tamara! I may try it during
Christmas vacation where I will have a little time when I don't have
to be "seen" so much. How long before you felt human again and
could be seen LOL? When I tried it last year I only did it for
about a week and then chickened out because of the dryness of my
skin. I'm very tempted to give it another go. Thanks for all your
help.

I swear I thought at times i was going blind (literally). My eyes
were always bothered, itchy, irritated, sometimes puffy, red, and
gritty feeling! it was such a burden for me, I felt so helpless. I
put the z cream in my ears and on my eyebrows. I swear the bas.....
are the cause of my rosacea. Also, i put tea tree oil in my shampoo
for my scalp (drain the suckers for good) and i bathe in Epsom Salts
(mites hate it). I feel like ive lost so much of my life, because of
these hellish devils, I will drown the rugrats to death if I have to
set them on fire I would lol. Elena, I feel like I can see again,
and another thing, if you look at the demodexmite forum...look at
the pictures and look at HILDA is her name and i have been in touch
with her alot...she after one year is rosacea free...and look at the
difference in her skin (amazing). Elena, I wash my linens and add a
drop of tea tree oil to them, I use a fresh

doing well with this z cream...some have sent me pictures with there
success. Elena, if you ever do it, go slowly only need a little (buy
the acarid soap and the z cream use nightly or day and evening if
your skin can handle it. Pat your skin with water first and then put
a thin layer (very thin) on your face, and see what happens. My eyes
were greatly improved in no time! good luck tamara

> Wow Tamara............100 percent improvement of eyes?!! Right
now, I think that is my most troubling symptom. The last two years
they are just "not my eyes".......it's hard to explain. So you
didn't get the special eye treatment from the z cream people? Just
using the regular z cream on your face and yet your eyes and ears
are better even though you are not directly putting z cream on them?
My ears are also a misery for me. Always itchy and sore along with
my poor scalp. I have seb derm too so I don't know what's what half
the time. Anyway, maybe I should give the z cream another try. My
Rosacea did a slow crawl to where it is now too Tamara. I am going
to be 47 on Dec. 18th and this all started for me at 21. It's really
only been the last two years where I want to jump off a bridge from
this (just kidding.......I think). That's great about your mom. You
know, even way back when I was first struggling with this one doctor
had the great humility to admit that
> they just did not know anything about this strange disease and he
mentioned that sometimes it does indeed "just go away". He said it
is typically a disease that comes on in the 40's and sometimes later
in life in the 60's or so it just goes away. But, as we all know,
there is NOTHING typical about this disease. I certainly did not fit
ANY of the criteria for having it. I wasn't in my 40's. I wasn't of
celtic decent. I did not blush easily. I feel very jipped LOL!
Thanks for all this info Tamara. A year, huh? I hope it gets
continually better and better for you. Your such a dear.

My mom uses cold ponds cream every night. My sister does not suffer
from rosacea. I avoid alcohol at all costs, but what i said was when
we were at my sisters, my mom can now drink alcohol, while i stay
the heck away from it. Elena and 3rd, so far for the z cream I have
seen 100% improvement for my eyes(no longer bother me) (no longer
red) My ears (no longer bother me unless I have an allergic reaction
to something (which is not as often as it was). The papules, i have
less but since the z cream makes you break out here and there when
killing the mites, sometimes i still break out and then i notice my
skin being very clear afterwards. My cheeks and nose are pink in
color not red now. I still react to certain foods, and heat etc...
so this is not gone yet, also walter (from the z cream forum)
indicates rosacea allergic responses take a year or more to stop
reacting, it is a process that takes time.

> still dry skin, but do notice the old skin sloughs off, and i have
better renewal skin in replace of it. I am pleases so far, and have
yet to see my rosacea gone completely, but going back to the way it
was, I am better now for sure. I am 33 years old now, I think i
developed it when i was around 26 or so not exactly sure, but it
started off slowly like creeping up and then procrascinated into
papules along with the flushing. I am type 2 rosacea. I have it
cheeks and nose. hope this helps you.

First, what is the cholesterol med your mom is taking so we can look
into it. And did you or your sister (sounds like your sister suffers
from this too?) give it a try too and what happened? Second, it's so
funny about the Ponds. If it is Ponds cold cream then that's what my
mom uses too LOL...........it's been around forever and is the "old-
fashioned" stuff I think many of our moms used/use. Can your skin
tolerate it? And third, you have really stuck it out with the z-
cream.......I am so impressed! When you say you are 50% better, is
that in all aspects of the Rosacea? Like p&p's, redness, dryness,
hot burny skin and flushes? Also, if you had any eye problems, do
you find that that is better too? Some people have said that even
their eye symptoms got better using z-cream (not even the one they
put out specifically for the eyes). Okay, those are my questions.
Sorry to overload you but
