I've been finding for the last few moths that I can get quite hung over after just a couple of glasses of wine. Not always, but often. I get headachy and a bit of diarrhoea.
Anyway, I was at the ballet with DD today and I thought, why not, quick glass of champagne in the interval, bit of a treat.
Well, I was so ill! About 5 mins after finishing it and going back in to the seat, I started getting an ache in my belly, like period pain. Next thing, I had a strong pulsing pins and needles feeling in my lower arms and legs. I felt cold, sweaty and very faint. I didn't want to miss the ballet so sat there panting and squirming, whilst whispering to DD not to panic if I had to go out - I really thought I'd have to. Made it to the next interval, managed to stand up without fainting, but very wobbly - made it out into the flyer, sat there looking like a right tit with my head between my knees, had a few sips of water and closed my eyes for 10 mins, then it passed, I was fine for the rest of the day. Must have lasted about 40 mins altogether - very scary, never happened like that before.
Why on earth would I have reacted like that? I'm not a big champagne drinker, but I've never reacted like that to any alcohol before (and I've had plenty of practice over the years). Anyone shed any light?
