is it typical for carcinoids to have severe itching on head and face on top of the flushing, also my flushing is not stop, basicaly, every now and then it chills but you can always tell my neck and full face are red. I'm hearing bad itching isn't a symptom. Docs think maybe thyroid or high cortisol, my stress this year is insane with four major deaths, I've been fighting this for 8-10 weeks
