==>Hi Nicola. It's good to hear from you. I recommend taking a

smaller dose of niacin at one time, space thoughout the day, i.e. 100

mg 3 times a day. I've been taking niacin for about 25 years and I

do not get that cold feeling afterward, but I do not take more than

250 mg at a time (when I think I need it), otherwise I take 100 mg

once a day.

I think the cold feeling afterward may be related to other problems

due to poor health involving the thyroid, lymphatic system, and the

structure of the body's cells too. As you progress on this program,

and IF you take smaller doses, the cold feeling should improve.

With love, Bee

Dear Bee,

Just wanted to thank you for your advice. It worked! I've cut the

dose back to 100mg thrice daily. And I've taken my jumpers off for

the first time in over a month!

Love,

Nicola
