Hello everyone.My name is wayne,i am forty four years old and i suffer with blushing,or erythrophobia.I have sufferd with this condition since i was five years old.This condition has blighted my life or controlled everything that has happend to me.I do no how i got this problem.When i was about five i was a really shy child,and over heard my mother say to my father why have you gone red.With me being very young i thought my dad must be shy like me, so i started training my self to go red.After a while every thing i done in school,out of school i would go red.I am fairly good looking chap,lives on my own becouse of my condition,but would give anything to be with a partner and be normall like everyone else.I do relise there is a lot more people out there worse than me with worser conditions,but i would like to enjoye the rest of my life i have left before i get to old.I have been and had the operation ETS but unfortunatly it never worked for me.I still blush when i get stressed or if i feel uncomfortable.I live in bristol and i am trying to find somone who can help me.Going to the doctors is a complete wast of time i have been there,i suppose he could write a book about me where i have been so many times seeing different doctors.I do go out ie to the pub or i like to go windsurfing on a weekend.I try not to let my blushing get the better of me.If anyone has any information or would like to email me,my email address is wayne1963@blueyonder.co.uk good luck everyone in beating your blushing.
