jo, i've had numerous colonoscopies and endoscopies and this is a
first. Do find out what you were given so you can avoid it in the
future. Niacin is known to make people flush and feel very warm, so
it's certainly possible to have a reaction to it.

Hope the colonoscopy results are good!

Thanks. Results weren't great, as they couldn't get as far as they needed
to. I have to go this week to radiology for the old fashioned barium sort.
Ugh. Ruined three days last week and this week doesn't look like fun
either.

Charlie's knee is getting bad, so when we need to go to the store we
basically sit and say "I don't want to go, you go". For the most part I get
away with it as he wants beer more than I need most anything.
