I explained to her that the doctors have yet to find a cure for it and that until they do I have to live with it every day.
I never heard from her again. This had to be the most humiliating moment in my life. But it was also. . . The Turning Point For Me I had finally had enough with rosacea and decided to take my fate into my own hands.
. .and then it started to flush even more! At this point I knew I had triggered another horrible flare-up and there was no turning back.
As I stood feeling a little foolish with everyone looking at me I could feel my face start to flush., and then it started to burn.
. . As I stood there telling myself to stay calm, not to freak out, that there was a way out of this, I didn't think it could get any worse.
Until she yelled out. . . “Call An Ambulance!” She yelled it at the top of her lungs. The girl I was trying to impress was impressed indeed. So impressed that she thought I was having some sort of allergic reaction and needed medical assistance right away! Gleaming with humiliation and shame I took her aside and explained to her my embarrassing and fragile condition.
It was New Year's Eve and I was hosting a large get together at my house. All my friends and family were there, lot's of relatives and little children, it was a huge turn out. Once of my friends had brought company with her. A new girlfriend that I was particularly interested in. As the night progressed I got the nerve to go over and introduce myself. It seemed everything was going perfectly. Until I gave the toast. . . I wanted to do something that would catch my new found friends' attention. Something that she would remember me for. But what happened next was not what I had in mind. . . When I stood up to give the toast I realized that I had been so caught up with the idea of impressing her that I hadn't thought about what I was going to say.
