Hi Audrey,
Sounds like the flushing alright. Jim is spot on about the food and fluids. I often find myself quite thirsty even several hours after a dose, so be sure to have a few glasses of water as well as plenty of food. The side effects can be pretty horrid to start with, but they should abate substantially after a few months, so hopefully you can tough it out. I have had outstanding results from the active ingredient, DMF, and now have less than 0.5% of plaques (cf 30-40%) and greatly reduced arthritic pain for which I no longer require ibuprofen and paracetamol.
Good luck,
Bill
