There's a type of medicine I'm allergic to, but unfortunately I don't think I'm remembering the name correctly.
I thought it was called Pedizol, but when I looked it up on Wikipedia under a list of antibiotics to see if I had it spelled correctly, I couldn't find it. It's a white liquid that tastes like crap.
I had to take it for a throat infection when I was 11, and it really messed me up.
- I developed a fever
- I broke out in hives
- I felt sore all over
- I was incredibly weak (I couldn't even sit up without assistance)
- I couldn't eat anything (I just threw it all up)
But I haven't had any throat infections since then, so I haven't had to worry about being prescribed it again.
That's really my only major allergy, though I do have slight reactions to other substances:
- Energy drinks (like Blue Ginger, my heart starts to beat rapidly, I feel a bit dizzy, and I get somewhat nauseous, though I don't get migraines. Doesn't stop me from drinking them from time to time though. )
- A certain kind of flavouring, though I'm not sure which one. (Around Christmas my store got in a bunch of treats to sell, and one of them was spiced peanuts. The peanuts had different spices and flavours on them, like brown sugar, cinnamon, etc. I had some peanuts and when I woke up the next day my lips were swollen. I know it's not the nuts themselves, because I've had peanuts and other nut products since then with no problem.)
And I'm worried that I'll develop a kiwi allergy one day, which sucks because I love kiwi. My mother and maternal grandfather are both allergic to it (though her reaction is stronger than his; he only has a mild allergy while she's deathly allergic to it), so I'm worried that it runs in the family and that I could end up being allergic to it as well.
