I agree with Hazel that it's body-temp related. I have the same thing, and I hate it. I don't often eat much of an evening meal, but I give my baby a bath and nurse him right around that time, and sure enough every night my face is burning, even if the core of my body feels chilled. I try to keep the heat off in the house as much as possible (I'm in Northern California, so this is pretty feasible, even in Dec. and with a baby), sometimes running outside if I have to for relief. The only way out for me would be to change my baby's routine, which I'd rather not do. If it weren't for these nightly flares and the occasional social/embarrassment-related flares, I'd be so much better off! --beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, , are you the one cooking the meal? I have found that cooking, especially cooking that requires a lot of standing over the stove or pulling stuff in and out of the oven, is an immediate flare inducer. If you are doing the cooking, is there any way the food could be cooked earlier in the day, when your body temp is lower, then just heated in a microwave, which produces less radiant heat and means less time for you standing around in the kitchen? --beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 , it is probably not the evening meal, but rather the time of day. I flush just about everyday between 3-6PM. My derm said a lot of people tell her they, too, flush around the same time of day each day (the time of day varies for each person). I noticed that between 3-6 seems to be my body clock's " down " time. That is the time I am beginning to get tired, or feel worn out. After my evening meal I perk right up with energy.

A heavy meal before or during the worst time of day (afternoon/evening for many) would therefore be likely to provoke or exacerbate flushing. Caution is therefore advisable; lighter meals are less likely to provoke flushing IMHO. A somewhat heavier breakfast within the first hour after arising, followed by lighter meals (i.e. " grazing " ) as the day passes, and a very light evening meal ( " snack " ) have proven to be the least provocative in my case. Others should experiment to determine what is best in their own situations. Jim __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I find my evening flushes to be scant or nonexistant if I use Nasalcrom. This is an otc allergy treatment, and it really seems to help. Matija > , it is probably not the evening meal, but rather the time of day. I > flush just about everyday between 3-6PM.
