Flushing

**optionsdude** · 07-02-2011, 10:23 PM

I have been taking Niacin for about 3 months now and I never had flushing symptoms after the first week. Until 2 days ago I noticed my face was hot, and then my arms. When I looked I was all red and blotchy. The only thing that has changed is that I donated blood last saturday and I changed to a longer sub q needle for my HCG and B12 injection. I went from a 5/16 28 gage to a 1/2 inch 28 gage. I know alot do IM for B12 but the TRT clinic recommended sub q and when I did a search here on the forum the answer was about 1/2 and 1/2 sub q and IM. There was also mention of a deeper sub q. Could it be the B12 and niacin? I've been doing the B12 shot for 3 weeks now but tues. was my first day with the 1/2 pin and the first day I had flushing.

My first question is why the fvck are you taking Niacin ? That is not something you should be taking every day unless it's in your multivitamin and usually it's in minute doses.

Why would he not? He may have been told to due to his cholesterol

Yes I was told to for cholesterol however when I quit taking the winstrol my cholesterol went back to normal. So I prob don't have to take it anymore. I'm just trying to figure out why I started flushing when I have been taking it for so long. One other thing that I just realized this morning was I also ran out of tyrosine the same day the flushing started.
