I feel for you they are unpleasant. I'm dealing with a statin pill for my tris and chloestol of i can't spell where is spell check, While anyways the pill gives me a prickly hot flash. Starts at forehead and works it way done. If it is really bad I get so weak i can't stand it. I see Dr. this week and if it isn't helping numbers away it goes it is torture. I would take back my hot flashes any day. Were not good but better than this. Hope you feel better.
