Allergies
by chelas36, Nov 26, 2007 10:12AM
I also have the same reaction. My father was an alcoholic... I started drinking when I was young, say 17. Now I’m 36. And I get these reactions that have been occurring more frequently and more severe, every time with less alcohol.
Since I love to drink, I started taking Allegra in order to stop the allergic reaction (after 4 drinks, specially with rum, my face would turn red, my hands and feet start to itch, and the reaction continues to grow if I don’t stop drinking) but now, not even the allegra is able to stop this reaction.
I would really like to know if I have an alternative medicine to prevent this, or if I’m doing serious damage to my body, fact is I believe I’m an alcoholic so, what choices do you think I have?
