I've not heard any discussions about energy drinks and rosacea but it makes sense that it would. Most energy drinks are loaded with caffeine among other chemicals, those chemicals serve to ramp up the adrenal system and increase heart rate and blood pressure, all of those things can make rosacea worse. Caffeine in and of itself is a known trigger for most people with rosacea, especially in large amounts. If you're needing a bit of a boost of energy a much safer, healthier, and natural solution is to take a B vitamin supplement. You can get them over the counter at virtually any store, walmart, walgreens, grocery stores, all over the place. They work better than caffeine and don't come with the massive sugar highs or hard post energy crashes and best of all, they don't bother rosacea. Just be aware, when you take extra b vitamin supplements they do tend to turn your urine a dark yellow, it's normal, but you still need to make sure you drink plenty of water...dehydration can actually serve as yet another trigger. We don't just embrace insanity here, we feel it up, french kiss it and buy it a drink.
I am not a doctor, my advice is based on my own experiences and those I know, please speak with your doctor before beginning or ending any treatments. |
