Niacin flush

[Rushie]

My doctor told me to start taking 500mg of niacin a day to improve my cholesterol.

Wow! Instant sunburn!

I wish I'd known about this stuff when I was a kid. I could have faked scarlet fever and stayed home from school.

I guess I can tolerate it.

If you can tolerate it is a good drug to lower cholesterol. I never could.
