Lightbulb our vacation is up in the air still....

my husband's job has a mandatory CE for a week in July.

If my son can come up and babysit me a bit, I might leave 2nd week of July..
otherwise it will be 28th or 29th. I can't stay long alone anymore..sadly

Try the aspirin block with the niacin...it might work for you. People vary genetically in flush response. I had flushing from 100mg !!!
Quote:
NSAIDs (ibuprofen, etc.) and aspirin: The use of aspirin (80 to 325 milligrams), ibuprofen (200 to 400 milligrams), or other NSAIDs, taken 30 minutes to one hour before a dose of nicotinic acid, may blunt the flushing effect of high-dose nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid induces the release of prostacyclin. Prostacyclin is thought to account for, in large part, nicotinic acid-induced flushing. Aspirin may also decrease the metabolic clearance of nicotinic acid.

It is thought that people with high histamine flush at lower doses.
