Looking for Catch Phrases that Hit Home w/ Humor

[drnase]

Group,

I am collecting catch phrases related to rosacea, symptoms and especially trigger avoidance for upcoming journal articles.

The best one I heard recently came from the ESFB board (I think Kelli?). She talked about avoiding triggers.

"Avoiding triggers is like trying to dodge raindrops in a monsoon"


I thought that was quite cute and realistic.


Please add to this thread if you have any sayings or thoughts on catch phrases. We were not blessed with an easy disorder or one that begs out for funding or compassion. Not a good combo.


You know the thing that really killed me was when I was in the moderate to severe stages, with horrible episodes followed by several hours each day of semi-normalcy. I would hide during the bad times and then come out as my extroverted self during the good times and my faculty members would end up seeing a six foot 185 pound strapping young lad for a couple hours and just assume that I was either lazy, enjoyed staying in 50 degree labs or who knows what else. That really stung. I know many of you can relate.

you mentioned x-files lately.

maybe something like:

"if rosacea were a criminal case, it would be on mulder to find out the truth"

[Kelli]

Rosacea is like a toilet - they both flush.

I need metrogel like a dog needs a tutu.

A face only a mother could love - and everyone else stares at.

IPL treatments: $2000
Antibiotics and misc. other useless treatments: $500
Finding your shade of makeup: $30
Finding a cure for rosacea: Priceless (Thank you MasterCard!)

ha ha i read that on ESFB from Kelli as well and it made me chuckle :lol:

The only ones ive heard that crack me up are generally rude; i think it was cookie on the other site who uses as his sig, 'opinions are like arseholes, everybodies got one'.

So very true :wink:

Being a writer I am ashamed to say that despite trying I can't come up with anything apart from this one and it's not exactly humourous:
Rosacea burns me up.

I guess I'm one of those 5,.000 word writers rather than a one-liner one, but good luck. Hopefully others will pitch in.

"Rosacea is cured...? What moron said that???" (Actually, this needs to go on a T-shirt)....

Sorry, Dr. Nase...not much help here. Not a damn thing funny about rosacea.

Take care and thanks for everything,
Perry

"Rosacea, because you're worth it!" :lol:

Do you think we'd get away with that?

[Kelli]

You have to laugh at it - or else you'll spend your life crying about it, and that'll just bring on a flush!

Some others...

Rosaceans are Red;
Daffodils are yellow.
We want to not blush,
When we say Hello!

Rosaceans - the other red meat.

Im not drunk, i have rosacea.

[todmiller]

So a guy rides into a bar on a horse, and the bartender says "Gee wiz, buddy! Why the red face?!"

budumpump-chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"I'm a dryland scubadiver--my backpack of iced water is the only thing that lets me breathe outside my home's AC."


Not terribly catchy or humorous, I guess. It's how I feel whenever I have to stock up some iced water bottles before going on a minor errand, though.

And normal people think "women" take a long time to get ready. :lol:

Having rosacea is like driving a car with a 30mph speed limiter....

[IowaDavid]

Avoiding triggers is like walking a tightrope blind.

[fut]

Im not drunk, i have rosacea.

lol - this by far is my favorite :lol:

[prryjones]

The most effective tx for rosacea? A bullet.

My only rosacea trigger is the sun rising in the east. How do I know this? Because I never flush on days when the sun rises in the west. I need to move to another planet.

avoid triggers = avoid life.
