Can any one help please?
We have a patient with apparently normal biochemistry who is becoming
inceasingly intolerant to alcohol over the years. At present she can
only take 1/2 a glass of wine before she developes a severe headache and
other symptoms which can last for 2 days. About 10 yrs ago her tolerance
was normal but this problem has gradually arissen with less and less
alcohol. According to her GP her LFTs etc and liver are all normal and
she does not suffer fro migraine. Apart from this problem she has no
other known abnormalities neurological or physical. She is not elderley
or very young.
Any ideas as to what is happening to this lady.
