intolerance/allergy


went for the specialist appointment today
regarding my adverse reactions to various medical drugs
spent ALOT of time waiting


anyway..
i now have a long list of medicine NOT to take
and i have to do a 'drug challenge'
to see my reaction to another drug
* being allergic to panadol is a sad sad thing


the drug challenge thing is really cool
basically i have to spend a day in the hospital
and they will introduce the drug to me in increasing doses
and observe for any reactions in me
which in my case are..refer to the past entry


things i learnt today
- some allergies are acquired [like my case with panadol]
- there is no significant genetic link in this area just plenty of bad luck
- there is a difference between intolerance and an allergy
- my mom is really far-sighted
- there are like plenty of medicine which i cant take now
- my stoic dad was like 'heart pain' last monday [said by mom]:)


*some random personal stuff
it is really quite strange how my body has been the past few years. after a really healthy 16+ years..the past 2 years or so have been different. my allergies started showing up, and the episode of anemia last year.. whats happening man? sigh..
