Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I thought hot flash, too, BUT I had a similar experience 7 years ago (before I knew I had adrenal issues) and I believe it was my blood sugar crashing. I had the diarrhea, too! At that point I was still eating high carb, low protien. Kim Re: What was THAT !? > Hate to say this how old are you?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Was there NIACIN in your B vitamins? I ask because what you have just described sounds EXACTLY like what happened to me a few weeks ago and I totally freaked out. I always took a B multi but bought a new brand and took it for the first time that morning. A while later I started burning up and my entire face and neck and even down my arms and my chest turned beet red and I felt like I was on fire. Because I didn't know what was going on, I became terrified and was panicking on top of it so it made my heart race and I couldn't breathe and I was telling my boyfriend to call and ambulance I was so scared and it wasn't letting up. He then realized that this sounded and resembled a NIACIN FLUSH and asked me if I had taken any niacin. I then realized that I had just taken my new B's which contained straight niacin, whereas the others contain niacinamide which doesn't produce the flush. I wonder if this is what happened to you?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Oh YES!!! I used to get those too (niacin flushes)! Very scary, but totally harmless. I hope that was it...your body will adjust to it...I never have that happen anymore. Kim Re: What was THAT !? > > >> Hate to say this how old are you?
