Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 So 30 minutes after supper, my ears started feeling hot. I could feel a flush coming on and was expecting it. I haven't had a big one yet, but the discussion the other day was preparing me for it. I looked in the mirror and my ears were beet red, as well as my face and neck. I showed my wife, so when it happens to her she won't panic. Standing in the bathroom light, I noticed it was a HUGE flush all over. 2 bright red spots on each wrist, forearms (where I've had tendonitis issues for years), elbows, knees, chest, neck, face, almost everywhere! My wife was really scared, but I was pretty certain it was the naicin and not an allergic reaction to the shrimp. It's been 20 minutes now, and the symptoms are starting to subside somewhat. My forearms are very splotchy, and my whole back is red still. But the bright red spots around my joints are fading fast. If someone's theory on here that you get the naicin flush in areas with candida issues is correct, I sure have a lot of healing to do! Bee... is this a good sign that I have such a major flush after 3 weeks or so on the program? I probably had 2/3 of a 100 mg pill after supper, and 1/3 with breakfast. (The knife didn't cut it down the center this morning!) No other symptoms that would cause me to conclude it has to do with the shrimp I ate for supper. The redness is not itching or anything like that. It's just a very strange thing to happen all of a sudden. Do these flushes happen regularly after the first one? Or are some nights really big, while other nights might not be noticable at all? Thanks! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
