niacin


Ugh. Just when I thought I was getting use to it....I had a major flushing reaction tonight.
The whole heartbeat felt in my head scenerio. A rapid heartbeat at that.
I just had a dr. appt this morning too, to report that things were going okay. though she wants me to be taking more than I am...I'm not sure I'll be able too.
here's a photo. It's not my back..but it's certainly what it looked like tonight. My eyes even became bloodshot.

It does seem to be passing now. I'm going to try to get some sleep.
Oh, and btw. Our drainfield was completed today . We did get a grant from the county to cover 50% of the cost. That was very helpful.
So, we can wash clothes again. Yay.
And begin the process of putting the backyard back together again...well, and some of the front.

How are things going now with the meds? How scary that feeling of a rapid heartbeat must be!

And hurray on the drainfield being done and you getting some money to help with the cost :0)

so your doc has you taking niacin? How come? That is just a vitamin B...I've had a niacin rush many times. They are very irritating..but harmless. I think if you take it on an empty stomach it's worse..so eating something can sometimes help calm it down.
