i am so fed up of trying to figure out what i'm supposed to do to ensure i get minimal blushing. the timing, which foods i can consume, what beverages i can drink, etc. because every time it's different and i'm beginning to not care anymore. i discovered this site about a year or so back but this is my first post. i've been taking pepcid ac for about a year now. i don't have any of the other problems a lot of you have mentioned, not that i've noticed or been too concerned with anyway, i just get really red. everyone comments on it, i just tell them i get warm easily. which is true, but obviously that isn't the real reason at the time for why i resemble a beetroot.
i've found the pepcid has worn off to be honest, so i may try some others pills that have been mentioned. i noticed one post mentioned fast food, and i recall one night about a month or so back i had eaten a mcdonalds and that night i wasn't so red. i always take 2 x 20mg with a bottle of water, i have my first drink an hour or two later and take it slow, and then continue. i don't get red with my first few drinks when i'm at home but then when i go out and order my first drink, i just get red straight away. it worked amazingly when i first tried pepcid but like i said, it doesn't have the same effect anymore. i think it's worse in clubs though because it gets so stuffy from all the people so that doesn't really help.
i get so angry that we have to put up with this, why can't we be normal?! i hate it when my friends are always wanting pictures too when we're out, they get annoyed with me because i never want to be in them, so then they just think i'm being difficult, but i'd rather them think that than know my embarrassing problem :/ i think the majority of my family have asian red but my two cousins who are sisters don't have it, i'm so effing jealous. they can drink and drink and drink and don't even have a hint of redness in their cheeks. i also have a filipino friend who doesn't have asian red at all, he can really knock back the drinks. i hate him, lol. anyway, all i wanted to do was rant. it's nice, if that's even the right word, knowing there are other people with this problem since i don't speak to anyone about it. that's all for now!
