Keenly i will try the niacin flush in one of the comming weeks. My allergies however are probably not as bad as yours. I've managed to improve a lot of symptoms of MCS. Altough i still have problems with parfums, I can stand daily doses of diflucan and artesunate, as well as a lot of other medications and supplements. The only way you will know it is trying..

My B3 level showed very low after testing. Start with a low dose . 300 mg gives me the flush.

The idea IS TO FLUSH to promote the release of toxins from fat!

It effects blood vessels tho like heat does so some advice against it

I wish there was a pots expert that specifically dealt with this

I tried Niacin after deciding to quite statins--I had a disastrous return of Premature Ventricular Contractions, verified in Emerg, and was told this had been observed before. I quit Niacin. Chris

I just tried niacin for about a week.

The vasodilation made me have pain all over my body. It was not good for me at all.

It turned me into a prickly beetroot for hours.
Michael refused to take me out to the shops looking like that.

It's didn't help with energy, on that one occassion I took it.

I didn't try it again, because the "prickly beetroot" bit was so alarming.
