Are you talking about flushing episodes? When were you diagnosed with NET? Since my diagnosis in 2002, I have had several incidents.

Hi @gaylejean. How long do the flushing episodes last? Are they all day or just a few minutes? Is there anything in particular you can do to get through them?

Mine usually last several seconds to less than a minute. I can have 1-3 in a month, or even week, and then none for months. I don't know of anything you can do but I don't have to look in the mirror to know it is happening - you can just feel it.
