Egawds woman....I've been there....it ended up I have a food allergy towards shellfish...yes I can actually die by eating my favorite foods. I had two terrible near death experiences, one in Vegas and the other in Boston where I was assured the oysters were from Portland (ended up being Portland OR, not Maine)...no more shellfish for me...it's the exact same scenario, symptoms. Terribly scary isn't it. Good to know that you are okay now...but I strongly suggest you go and have testing to find out what the allergy is...I just read on CNN how a little teenage girl died from kissing a boy who had just eaten a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich...she had a food allergy to peanuts. Take this stuff seriously.
Good on you for going dark and getting back to GAL...he's so close to being there but he needs to get knocked down a step to move up to the plate. Take care you!!
