Oh I have been doing research. An aspirin 30 minutes before taking Niacin and taking it at night is supposely a remedy to the flushing. IDK hubs is willing to try that before taking another statin type drug. Tomorrow he has to get a monitor(Chest holter) to wear for 24 hours and then a Echo on Wed.

Ooh I have worn one of those before. Yeah the worst part is that my mom can't take statins and she can't tolerate the niacin either. She would not be able to take aspirin with some of the meds she is already on.

SC and TV,

I just want to tell you guys how glad that I am you stuck it out for a year. It really is a big deal, and you deserve the celebration. For all the people that I have met, who have come and gone, you guys are still around.

SC, It really amazes me that you are still here after all of T's abuse. I think you need to take your 1 year status, and shove it up his a**! I mean, shake his hand and smile. :facepalm:

Well, if I had to take one or the other ... I guess the 1 year status (statue??) would be better than a menorah!!

But a handshake would be even better! LOL

She did not get the hot flashes and flushing but she got an extremely bad rash from it.
I read that is a side effect. Allot of folks will discontinue. I know hubs had taken Niacin in 2000. It was the immediate release and caused him flushing. Theoretically, the extended release helps with no-flushing. I suppose that is why Abbott-the pharmaceutical giants took regular ER-niacin and labeled it with a neat name-Niaspan. Now folks can pay prescription prices for a 5.00 bottle of Niacin ER/SR.
Wharf-do you take it for cholesterol?

Hey TT I see you! Hey I seen your photos on "roughing it". I feel so sorry for you! I would be happy in a tent and warm weather.

Thanks Sdh, yeah, I feel like a real pioneer camping like this!

I guess I'd have to get a chaw of tobacco to be a real pioneer tho ... I guess I'll just stick to vaping and be a modern vagabond!
