    Question about CF'ers and alcohol

    I had a very similar reaction whilst on an antibiotic, but I can't recall which one I was on at the time. I didn't get hives, but I became very flushed. My friends asked me if I was ok and I replied that I was fine. Back at the hotel room I saw what I looked like and was shocked. My face...

    Concerned about negative effects of meds
