Just wondering if anyone has ever had the same thing. For the past 2 days my cheeks have been burning red, it is very uncomfortable and am not sure what is causing it. No allergies, and my first thought is a LEAK!! other then the burning I do have a headache but otherwise feel physically fine, any ideas?

Windburn, sunburn, rosacea (adult acne). I don't think a leak would affect your face unless you have a fever. Just redness, no flakes, no bumpiness, no other signs of rash? Is it you whole face or just the cheek area? I tend to call the doctor for everything, so I would be on the phone. Let us know what you discover.

Its just the cheeks, I do have some flaking but nothing unusual. I tend to get really freaked out over anything that might be a sign of a leak. I will be picking up a themometer after work to check my temp. Will let you know if I find anything out.

When I had an allergic reaction to codine...my cheeks were bright red with sploches.

For about a week after my surgery my cheeks would get extremely flushed. To the point where people would ask me if I was ok. I asked the doc about it and they said it was probably from the blood thinner they had given me. After about a week or so it did go away.

Since surgery I am having a hard time regulating my body temp, I am either freezing cold or burning up. Mostly my face has been so hot! I thought it was related to the blood thinners I was on for the first 10 days post op, but thats been done with since Saturday. Just something to get used to :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
