Re: - Flushed cheeks - steroid side effect???

[Guest guest]

Asenath gets the red cheeks especially while sleeping. She is on steroids (long-term due to CNS vasculitis) but I do know my oldest daughter also has this issue without taking steroids. Disautonomia is definitely a possibility as temperature control problems are part of it.
