i get a very similar thing with vodka, the skin on my face swells up and goes purple. rash on neck on chest,my throat and hands etc, it's only cheap vodka tho so it must be something in it, i never bother even trying to drink the stuff anymore though.
takes hours of sitting down drinking water then trying to sleep it off for it to go.
yes i get more and more allergic to alcohol the older i get i think, what used to be ok now has loads of nasty side effects let alone massive hangovers, beer really fucks up my belly, but vodka is clearly a total no-no.

yes, we're pathetic. oh, and at that wedding i sat next to a girl who boasted she didn't have hangovers at all, fresh as a daisy every time, the little angel. what she doesen't know is that ten years from now her skin will be fucked up and her internal organs destroyed whereas i will be in a wheelchair sipping tonic water with a smile on my face!

No it won't Oliver! It's just a spot that you get in your eye. If you take the anitbiotic drop/cream it will go away in a couple of days. If you don't take the antibiotic cream, it will go away in a couple of days as well. You'll be just fine, though it's hard to pick up people for sex when you got one, so I'd leave that out til it heals.

An eye patch is always a good look.

While we're here again, can I say that this:
1. I gave up all meat (sea food excepted)
2. I now fast for a week or 3 every couple of months
3. I often skip dinner, and just have a vegetable juice - keeps energy levels up.
4. I no longer feel completely emotionally dependent on food - compared to before. the psychological difference is huge.
sounds like Hell.

I'm suffering from Hyperacusis, a kind of acute oversensitivity to sound- now slightly more manageable through years of gradual hearing loss and the onset of tinnitus...*
And I'm actually allergic to electricity- which gives all sorts of odd side effects, from synaesthesia to actual physical buzzing/jolts à la Poltergeist...
Unfortunately, none of my other senses followed suit... :slanted:
Interestingly, problems in processing sensory information seems to be a feature of autistic spectrum disorders (the lack of proper "filters" sorting the important bits from the random bits, causing sensory information overload- Perhaps a whiff of Asbergers would explain more than just a little bit of my erratic experiences over the years,lol!
...Although *that* fashionable diagnosis seem to get tagged almost uncritically to everyone and his grandmother nowadays, making me a bit suspicious about the use of it all, there seems to be a worrying trend of overdiagnostisation at the moment-
IMO most psychiatric diagnoses serves more as convenient selling point/propaganda for the medicine industry, who wants to push their nice little pills, than actually bettering treatments or helping people's health at all-
I mean, one of the GP's who tried to get me on medication had her office filled with pens, pads, stickers and whatnot boasting sympathetic ads for the very same product she wanted me to trust... (!) I daren't think of all the sponsored holidays, seminaries, spa weekends and treats they'd bribed her with that I *didn't* find out about... Although I doubted her integrity on the issue, and told her as much- Resulting in outraged frowns and a note to her successor labelling me as "difficult" and "argumentative"...
Yeah, sure, baby- Get me a free towel while you're at it, eh? Sigh...
(*although as a D.I.Y. "musician" I feel I've actually *benefited* from it, being able to remember/hear levels of sound apparently near inaudible to others, and having a sometimes bothersome memory/awareness of musical structures, although not formally trained- Ze parents early discovered i had musicality but didn't have the money for lessons- The only way to write things down is to use electronic equipment, and invent tracks from scratch... Use the gear to create the soundscapes without worrying too much about notes or chords, would've been nice to get a working knowledge of those things eventually, though!)

eye strain is ailing me like a *****
I wear contacts, but for prolonged computer stuff use glasses with darkened lenses, it takes off the glare and also gives a distance between oneself and the computer, I'd recommend it.

I used to have that too. Went away when i stopped worrying about it. I reckon hyperacusis is a form/manifestation of depression, when you focuss too intensely on yourself.
if you think of autism/asberger's as nothing but names for a spectrum of ill-understood phenomena, it becomes less dramatic.
It is quite easy to pick up this knowledge yourself. I used to muck about with electronics but realised that this was not getting me to where i wanted to be, so i took some piano lessons at a local adult education college and learned a bit of music theory. after a year i was fluent with diminished 7th, secondary dominants, chord scales, root progressions and all that fancy music theory. it's really quite easy once you look at it seriously and with sustained interest. it's also made me a much better musician.
