I'm new to the forum, but not new to the neuro game

Cycleops,

Without humor we lose the fight!!! Thanks for putting things in the right perspective.

En bloc, No, it looks more like a bad sunburn. It is dry and my skin gets hot and ever so slightly sollen. Just prior to the flushing, I will sometimes get some nasal congention. Sometimes, it can lead to a bad migraine as well.
