Do you have to have flushing to have MCAD?  I have many of the other symptoms but hardly ever flush.

Definitely not... there's no "key" symptom that defines MCAD.  Some people have more skin involvement than others.

I may have to take this back. I was standing in line today and started feeling like I might faint. I have orthostatic intolerance  and decided it might help if I  kept my blood moving  by standing in one foot then the other.  
The people in line loved this .. Grin  I was feeling too bad to explain.

Then I noticed that both of my hands had turned red.  I'm not sure how long it was there because it was my turn at the counter soon afterwards.
But I only felt bad for about 10 minutes.

This only caught my attention because I recognized it as flushing.  Prior to learning what this was, I wouldn't have paid any attention to it.  

On a side note, I was googling hand flushing tonight and ran into a website on anxiety where they were trying to convince the reader not to feel anxious about hand flushing. It just reminded me of how clueless people are about all this.

I rarely flush but do get a burning sensation on my face from certain foods, especially on the right side.  I have MCAS.
