My current relapse is re-introducing me to many of the weird and (not-so) wonderful symptoms that were once a constant part of my life and the most recent to reappear are strange allergies that change from one day to the next. I can't believe I forgot this one. When I say allergy, I guess I mean intolerance; when certain foods or even scents cause a physiological response. For me, certain foods irritate my lips, tongue, mouth and throat; causing swelling, itching and rawness. There are some scents and chemicals that also cause similar reactions; usually an irritation of the throat, nose and ears. I don't know how common a symptom this is with other ME/CFS sufferers, but it is particularly annoying and really sounds like one of those things that I'm just making up.
