Cankles-McJeggings It’s all very interesting. I’ve not been feeling myself for quite a while
booze update
Grant is a symptom of your ailment, acting like a complete truncheon at tennis matches and talking about what you wore at them?

If I drink white wine or sparkling I’m fucked. Seriously fucked within 5 to 10 mins. But I can drink virtually anything else. Not drink fucked but I immediately feel like death and my hands and feet tingle which is an allergic response. Get the same with aforementioned foods. If someone slips spinach into something I’ll know within minutes. It also took me approximately 2 years to work out what the fuck was happening. Drs are dumbfounded by it and there’s really very little a gp knows about it or can do. I found the same with immunologists and allergy specialist’s. There’s no cure, just damage limitation.
As I said prior, most immunologists regard mast cell activation as anecdotal and almost refuse to recognise it. I paid to see the top geezer in Oz privately and he was having none of it. A specialist in Canada uncovered the foreign body implant rejection. I went for tests and bingo. It was completely overlooked/missed here.
What you need to do is to order everything ‘sans spinich’
Cunts slip it in mate. Like I would cheese if ed was my son.
Grant’s Brain Fog is because he’s 85 years old.
6 bottles of ruby wouldnt help either

Along_the_Wire what’s the issue with histamine levels, what are the tell tale signs?
As per CPR’s comment, for the first few years with me there were times it also felt like being poisoned.
Dizziness, thumping headaches, seeing swirling colours when you close your eyes, inflammation/tightness in the head and neck, breaking out in hives. In the worst cases vomiting. It’s a bit like a slightly trippier and more physically uncomfortable version of being drunk, except your mind is still pretty lucid despite what’s going on in your body.
Often what people think of as food poisoning from fish is the direct result of the fish containing very high histamine levels (which build up as a fish loses its freshness), as opposed to other types of bacteria.
Now that my symptoms are a bit more under control and I’ve eliminated a lot of the major triggers, some of my more mild continued sometime symptoms are stiffness in the fingers with occasional hive breakouts and occasional feeling of puffiness/inflammation in the head and neck.
Derm the white wine drinker who can’t drink beer cos he’s an absolute blouse.
Lol!
Cankles-McJeggings There’s various causes, mine has been attributed to foreign body implant rejection leading to autoimmune disorder. (Poly Hernia guaze which I had removed because of it)
I can imagine that - since this issue developed I also sometimes have mild allergic-type reactions to some types of polyester clothing.
Cankles-McJeggings Most have no idea or indication as to the cause but it’s getting more prevalent and highly likely to be connected to use of pesticides and GMO.
As per the point above, wouldn’t be surprised if the chemicals from plastics will also be a causal factor in its increase somehow.
I think generally it will be anything which has the potential to trigger autoimmune issues, and/or things which mess around with your normal gut biome e.g. antibiotics, some antidepressants.
Is this a window into life in our mid-50s? Grim.
Jaysus lads
What Im thinking is that I must keep going absolutely ballistic until the time descends where i may be forced to relinquish the darks arts after which i so, so lust.
LT42 We like to ease it in rather than see who can get to the finish line fastest.
Yeah some people are dumb like that.
RichM I found that the craft IPAs never had the % ABV on the taps or menus,
They do now. Pretty rare to not see the ABV listed. Necessary as some of these west coast IPAs get crazy high - 10-12% in some cases. And we’re pouring pints of the stuff.
jonattonyeah Lol, good to hear the US has upped their game big time!
Worst place I’ve ever drank beer is Aus, they serve pish in Schooners which are essentially half pint glasses with a different name
