Does anybody have a"flushing" as a symptom of fibromyalgia? My nose and cheeks get really flushed every day about 3p-4p then I become nauseated and extremely fatigued . I know of one other person with fibro who gets this.

My face and chest flush when I am over tired or stressed. In fact, when I was at my first appointment with the Internist, he asked me if I was always that colour. I also have rosacea on my cheeks. I don't know if either if those things are fibro related.

Lately I've been getting flushed in the cheeks and my left ear will get really hot and red. It's very strange!

I have had flushing before with taking b vitamin Niacin.
You can get flushing with that. You can Get red and a hot feeling.

I can get flushed after a shower. And I don't have ultra hot showers. my face seems to get a blotchy red afterwards.

Different change in temperature can cause me to flush especially the heat. Can make me feel faint too. Going from cold outside into a hot building. During The summer I often get flushed. And it's not that my face has been exposed to the sun. It's just the heat. Doesn't agree with me.

It's Not often I get flushed for no reason but I do occasionally and it's the weirdest thing. I could be just sitting there and my face feels like it's gone hot. I usually suspect it's something I ate. And It's not menopause. not yet.

I'm Not sure if it's a fibro thing or it's just a thing anyone can get sometimes.

I do get flushing often on the palms of my hands and sometimes the soles of my feet. I've had fibro for well over a decade and it seems to happen to me just before a flare. Everyone is different though. Wishing you well with this

My face is always somewhat flushed; when I am stressed or over tired I too get a hot flushed feeling in my chest and more in my face

Often have bouts of nausea and dizziness.

Not a lot of effort is needed to make me blush, but that's a different story.....

Thanks for the replies. I find it so strange that it happens at the same time of the day unless I have been extra stressed out or have an of infection of some type, which is often. My Dr. has moved my meds to different times and it still happens at the same time.. I did find out my serotonin level is elevated which may be due to the Omeprazole ( acid reducer) I take.

I have sweats all the time and they are considered to be fibro-related, too. Oh goody, yet another horrible symptom to deal with. I have rosacea, too, BTW.
