Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Good morning ladies. I have posted on Anne's discussion re the use of anti-biotics. I know there are many of you who read but don't post very often, but if you have a story to add on Anne's page then it could be useful. Thanks !
Hi Debs - I have thought for a while that the trigger for FFA is not the same for everybody otherwise it would have been very easy to spot. The same is the case for other auto-immune diseases - rheumatoid arthritis isn't triggered by a specific set of circumstances for example. Do you recall when we were reading that it was felt that this disease was generally seen in post-menopausal women............not the case. However I also think that the idea of identifying a common factor might be a possibility. I agree that a couple of 'questionnaires/surveys' have been blunt instruments to be able to pinpoint anything worthwhile in terms of finding the cause. I am still off all meds apart from clobetasol. It's 5 weeks now since I saw a new derm - no results from blood tests that were to take a week - the thought was that there may be a reason for this that could be found from blood tests.....tried calling, cannot get through........
Hi all, it sounds like several of us have had infections that have resulted in a course of antibiotics. I've always thought maybe my severe ear infection might have triggered the ffa, but now I'm questioning the antibiotics. Antibiotics have been widely used for more than 70 years, and ffa is a relatively new disease. Is it possible that another drug in combination with the antibiotics plays a role?
Hi all
Like Claire I had several courses of antibiotics for urinary track and kidney infections. Thanks for the advice on Ultimate Flora, will give it a go, nothing to lose.
Yes I have also taken antibiotics for re-occurring urinary track infections. When I have also had an allergy flare up it has always been after a virus or infection.
Interesting.
