How to deal with the flushes of heat and pain on each side of my head?

  1. ,
    That must be so uncomfortable.
    Does ice help at all?
    I do hope others in the community will chime in with some helpful suggestions.
    In the meantime, we always recommend bringing any new or changing symptoms to your healthcare providers attention.

    1. I get nuclear flushes and my skin is so inflamed and hot all over. Even my rheum commented on it at my last appointment. The only thing to calm this down for me has been my immunosuppressant, CellCept. Oh it's also helpful for me getting to bed before 9. My body has an internal clock that tells me when I've stayed up past this time. I use an as-needed anti anxiety pill too. And absolutely no outdoors on high UV days, which sucks. But the most effective thing for me has been CellCept. Yay lupus 🙄🥵

      1. Hey ,
        Those flashes sound miserable.
        I'm glad you found something that is making a bit of a difference for you.
