My old doctor in Florida gave me something for high cholesterol that did the flushing thing. I was told to take it before bed, so I slept through the side effect. Thing that they don't factor in is if you get woken up in the middle of the night when the flushing is in full swing. Sucks like I never believed anything could ever suck. Felt like somebody kept lighting matches on my skin.

If you have to take this medication and there is no alternative, I suggest taking a cool shower during the flushing effect. Maybe use some aloe-based cream, but don't take my word on that one. The shower helped to ease the discomfort.

Good luck, man.
