I found out yesterday i am intolerent to lobster.

it is kind a three step process how i was told.
Intolerance:
1) Eat (insert food name here) for the first time and are fine
2) Eat (same food name here) for the second time and throw it up.. most people usually just think the food was bad or you overate
3) You Eat (same food) third time and throw up a few hours later you prolly have a food intolerance.

How about you?
 
Not really, no. My allergies are:

Dust mites/dust, they make me wheeze and my airways tighten.
Clindamycin (an anti-biotic for bacterial infections) gives me hives from head to toe. (Part of the penicillin family, but <1% react to it. I did. )
Penicillin (an anti-biotic) gives me hives from head to toe.
Compazine (an anti-emetic) gives me seizures.
 
I'm allergic to the adhesives in band-aids.. I used to think it was the latex, but now we have latex-free bandaids and I still get abnormally itchy and red.

Other than that, I don't think I'm allergic to anything.
 

Oh yes, I forgot the adhesives. It's not listed on my medical records, but the adhesives on most tapes make me break out in rashes. Especially the plastic tape. During surgery they tape your eyelids shut, and whenever I wake up from the anesthesia I have two red, itchy hive patches below my eyes. Think the black liner on a football player.
 
deadly allergic to anything that ends in -cillin. Pennicillin, Ammoxicillin, you name it and my throat closes.
 
I'm not allergic to any foods that I know of. I am, however, allergic to dust and ragweed. Those just make me sneeze tho. And feel like I'm about ready to die. ;__;

I'm also allergic to a medicine called Chloral Hydrate. They gave it to me before my very first surgery because it's supposed to make you sleepy, but it had the exact opposite affect on me. The one and only time they gave it to me, it made me VERY hyperactive and violent.

And I was only like, six years old at the time. O__O;
 
I'm allergic to penicillin and cigarette smoke.

I think I'm intolerent to velveeta grilled cheese sandwiches. lol.
first time I ate one was good.
Second I got sick. Third I threw up. Fourth I threw up.
And now I've refused to eat any grilled cheese sandwiches. But I still eat bread and cheese. So I don't get it.
 
pfft. you guys will love mine. People at my work laugh at me.


KIWI.

yeah yeah, it's hilarious. However, if i eat it, my throat will close, so, not so entertaining then.

Im also allergic to mosquito bites. They swell up to a relative baseball or larger size of hard skin everytime i get one.

And I swear Im allergic to the sun. xD I burn in 10 minutes, I kid you not. I have to carry around SPF 75 -.-
 
i'm allergic to some kind of medicine. i don't exactly know what it is, but my mom does.

one time, when i was put under general anesthesia when i was little, i couldn't wake up, and i had almost like a seizure, but a really violent one. like, they had orderlies holding me down. (i was a strong 7 year old, evidently? ;)) but they had to get my mom to come back into the recovery room to try to calm me down. when they couldn't, they put me under again, and then used something that would wake me up. its never happened again, but they said that it was an allergic reaction to the anesthesia they used.

when i was 16 i had surgery on my wrist, and i was under general then. but it didn't happen, so either they knew that that had happened to me before and used different medicine, or i grew out of it (maybe it was children's medication?)

i know that didn't make any sense. lol. sorry.
 
i'm allergic to mangos.

pfft. you guys will love mine. People at my work laugh at me.

My friend is allegric to both. And something else, I can't remember.

I don't think I'm allegric to anything majorly that we know of yet. I feel conceited saying that, but it's true.

You would be surprised. I had a series of petit mal seizures, I was conscious the whole time but I couldn't control anything. I got out of the hospital bed onto a cot, and I started up with a seizure while I was on the cot. I tried to get up and walk back to the hospital bed (5 feet away, my mom was helping me the whole time) when I started up with another seizure while I was taking steps. My body had gotten so stiff my mother, two nurses, a neurologist, the resident, and one of the fellows had to help me get back into the hospital bed. The whole time I was dragging along my IV pole. :rolleyes: LOL
It's very scary because you don't know why you can't control yourself, but it's kinda cool in the sense that your own body is such an amazing thing.

General always worked fine for me, it's the local I have to worry about. The local will wear off within 10 minutes for ANY surgery I've had where it's used.

i had a lot of local anestesia from an accident i had. at the time, i FELT like it wasn't working, but that was probably psychological. i was in such intense pain that like, my mind couldn't let go of it, so i still imagined it being there even when i was numb.

i don't think i had a seizure per say, but that was the best i could come up with. like, i was violent, and kept hitting the people when they would get close to me. i was completely unconscious and i couldn't remember it afterwards. i guess i could compare it to night terrors, maybe? does that make any sense?
 
Bug bites for me. If I get bit by a mosquito, it turns into a humungous welt, not just the little itchy bump most people get.

I haven't gotten stung by anything...yet..but I'm sure I'm allergic to those too if I have bad reactions from mosquitos.

I also get seasonal allergies, but I don't know what exactly I'm allergic to.
 
I am alergic to sulfa and bactrim (medicine) they give me hives!

I am allergic to mosquito bits (as they grow three times the size of normal bites.)

I am intolerant to the Mexican spice (whatever you want to call it) Cilantro.

Makes me incredibly ill.
 
I get a couple of hives when a random tree branch or glass touches my leg lol

i get heat rash every time i go out in the sun on my legs

i got bangs because i got hives on my forehead all the time, now im not self conscious about that anymore :)
 
Grass, chocolate (sometimes), jalapeños..
 
Oh, and grass makes me SUPER itchy. Forgot about that. lol

Does that really count though? It's only the freshly cut grass that makes my eyes red, itchy, and teary. I get itchy all over too. It's only fresh cut grass, I have to hide myself in my room whenever the neighbors are mowing.

I guess that counts as intolerance? In the non-digestive way. Raw onions will also make me want to die, whenever they're in the room my eyes well up and get red.
 
Lollipops.

I'm not dangerously intolerant to them...but I don't suck on lollipops. I will lick it with my tounge..not even touching the roof of my mouth...
and no matter what I do the roof of my mouth always breaks out in hives...and feels like someone took a knife to it.

EDIT :
Oh yeah, and the major ones.

Lactose intolerant anndddd sulfa
