Before my drug my symptons were awful.The one I found the hardest was The burning up,sweating.I could never dare wear red clothers.I had an allergy to alcohol which I could not have people hug me if they had alcohol in their perfumes or body sprays or aftershaves.I would burn and pass out.This since my drug has dissappeard.I can wear red and people can hug me.The thing that I wonder is has anyone had an allergy prior to say surgery and did it clear up because the tumour was removed.JJx
