Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hello: I have 2 grandsons (teenagers) and they always had red cheeks and red ears and that is a sign of the Virus or Bacteria called Chlamydia Pneumonia. Bonnie My wife is suffering She is 39 yrs old. Almost every evening her face gets flush, red and really hot. We have looked at what she eats for a alergy, checked her blood sugar, etc. It happens whether she eats or now. it happens whether she exercises or not. Any idea?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 It could be early menopause, but does it happen any other time, because I used to get this (and still do sometimes) after coming into the warm after the cold; drinking hot beverages etc., the doctor told me some people do flush like this and there was nothing he could do. I have heard that,( I think its niacin, ) one of the B vitamins can do this too. Dee -- My wife is suffering She is 39 yrs old. Almost every evening her face gets flush, red and really hot.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 yes it does happen other times during the day, just mostly in the evenings when she is done with her day. She was thinking menopause also, but everyone says she is to young. Where did you hear about the Niacin reaction? > > It could be early menopause, but does it happen any other time, because I > used to get this (and still do sometimes) after coming into the warm after > the cold; drinking hot beverages etc., the doctor told me some people do > flush like this and there was nothing he could do.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Do you know, I can't remember, but I read it somewhere. I think you have to have quite a large dose for it to dilate the blood vessels. It may not be niacin, but was definitely one of the B vitamins. Also, you can get menopause at that age, as I know someone who has.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Niacin causes the flushing. As little as a couple hundred mg can do it. Whenever you have wierd symptoms like this, you need to keep things simple. Instead of loading up on this supplement or that supplement hoping something will work, stop taking everything. That goes for meds too, but you need to work with one at a time and work with the the family doctor to make sure it's not dangerous to stop certain meds. In addition to stopping meds and supplements, eat a bland diet for a few days up to a week or two. By bland I mean avoid foods known to cause reactions (like dairy, wheat, green peppers, etc). If that clears up the problem, then great. You can start adding things back one by one, one day at a time. As you add things back, take note if symptoms return. If they do, it can be something you ate that day or up to 1-2 days prior (delayed sensitivity response). So, take away those particular foods until it clears and then add them back more slowly. One on one day, then another one a few days latter. Always watch for a response and try to figure out what it is. That's all assuming this is caused by an external source. If it's hormonal or a pathogen (virus, bacteria, etc), then more tests would have to be done followed up by the appropriate therapy. SLE or Lupus has been ruled out, right?
