WereBear, how do you take your 2000 mg of niacin? All at once? What time of day?
I just bumped up to 500mg and had some flushing. I had insomnia last night though and I took it right before bed. :\
So, the amazing thing about avoiding my most intolerant foods is how much less I feel I need to eat. My weight is very slowly dropping and my appetite is dramatically curbed.
After I had smoked herring for breakfast yesterday, I didn't eat again until 4pm. That just isn't me!
Oh, it sounds like niacinamide might actually help my arthritis more than niacin.

Arthritis
Several researchers have reported excellent results in arthritic patients using niacinamide. While niacin opens up the blood vessels near the surface and causes a flushing sensation, niacinamide only opens up the deep blood vessels like those surrounding the joints.
In cases of moderate arthritis, outstanding results have been produced by taking 1,000 to 1,500 mg a day. In more severe cases, as much as 3,000 mg to 4,000 mg have been recommended. In all instances, here and in the recommendations listed below, the dosage should be divided into five or six doses spread throughout the day rather than all at once. It should also be taken with the knowledge and supervision of your nutritionally oriented doctor.
