Hi!

I agree with Pat on this. I also get hot face flushes. They go in streaks. When I was taking Clomid it got pretty bad and then tapered off. In the past week or so I'm hot again and I get a really bad face flush. It's not rosacea. I think it has something to do with glucose levels. I'm not sure what to do about it. I get flushes when I eat carbs and when I don't. I get them more in the evenings than in the mornings. Weird. Maybe pre-menopausal? I'm only 27. God bless, Tera
