About hypersensitivity, I had experience with one. In 1997, I was in Gayo Highland (Central Aceh, Indonesia) as a last semester student, doing the community services. For a girl who raised at the coastal area, I was easily catch the flu and headache in the low temperatures, I bought Aspirin and eat one, 15 minutes after that I was sweating and vomiting continuously, everyone was worried, it was about midnite, in that remote area, where vehicles (public or private) not always available, you know how panic is the situation. Right after I spitted my last vomit, I told everyone that I think I'm going to faint for a minute, just prepare a cup of milk (if they have) or a cup of sweet tea. I was fainted and woke up with no energy even to sip my tea, but I forced myself to. Since that, I will never ever took any aspirin anymore and I told my doctor not to prescribed anything similar to aspirin or anything that has something like aspirin, including mefenamat acid. I don't want to experience any of the symptoms forever. Yes, I have never been examined about that, but I'd better avoid that drugs.
How's your girlfriend reaction when she knows the story?
Hi! That does sounds like a typical allergy to aspirins, though you can test it without having to suffer those I'll effects. The way to confirm if you're allergic is through a skin test, basically they inject a small amount diluted on solution, and if you're allergic you'll get a small rash on the inoculated area, no need to take them orally, so don't worry about vomiting again π
And as for my girlfriend, I usually send her the link to my articles, but I think she won't get to read this one hahahahaha.
Hahahaha.. Lucky for you with the girlfriend β
