Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I just got done reading your list and I saw the intolerance to alcohol. I don't drink any more for religious reasons, but when I was in my younger years (!) I did drink with my friends, typical Friday and Saturday night stuff, but I never was drunk. Anyway, to make a long story short, I had my children and didn't drink for quite a few years and then one night I had a friend fix me one of my favorite drinks from my younger years (LOL) a vodka gimlet. Oh my gosh. I can't tell you how bad I felt! I thought I was going to die - seriously! My hands swelled up and got hot, I felt like I couldn't catch my breath, I was sweating, it was nuts! If I had half a brain I would have gone to the ER or something, but I didn't, and after about an hour the symptoms gradually went away. One other time I tried to drink a wine cooler - with the same result. Like I said, I don't drink any more for religious reasons, but I don't think I'd drink anymore anyway! Interesting that this has been associated with fibro - all this happened about 5 years before my other symptoms came on. Hmmmm.
