Questioning if I have mast cell, had anyone had this happen to them?
Hey guys, i’ve been struggling with spontaneous urticaria (which i’m not even sure is what I have) for the past 3 months as well as random pustules appearing on my face, hands, and neck from an allergic reaction to Lamictal. Now before 3 months ago my life was ok? I’ve always been an “allergic” person as a chronic asthmatic and severe eczema haver but I suddenly went into anaphylaxis about 3 months ago and had to go to the emergency room to get an epi pen. Which is where everything originally started, I ate cheese my mouth got itchy and my asthma started up as well as hives all over my body. Get this, i’m not allergic to any milk derived products and never have been.After the reaction I had to recover from getting the epi pen at the hospital (body pains chills) for a week. My body has not been the same since!! I went to an allergist and im literally not fucking allergic to ANYTHING. I used to be allergic to shellfish but i’m not anymore, not allergic to specific milks or cheese like goat cheese or stuff like eggs or wheat and that’s when I was diagnosed with spontaneous urticaria. I asked if it could be mcas but I was told the treatment was the same, zyrtec everyday so it shouldn’t matter if i get the diagnosed or not. But like why would it be spontaneous urticaria if I suddenly had anaphylaxis for absolutely no reason. Anyways fast forward to a month ago, I started a new medication for my recent bipolar diagnosis and every thing was going fine till I had a reaction to it, pustules all over my face and incredibly bad hives and rosacea. Was put on prednisone for it. I stopped taking the meds, a month later and I have been on prednisone off and on again and each and every time i’m off I start getting hives/pustules or theses itchy pimply things for absolutely no reason. The medication is out of my system and i’m starting to think it’s an internal problem and was never the medication in the first place. I am not going back on prednisone and doctors have no idea what’s wrong with me. Have any of you guys had similar experience with skin? I also have been told to always have epipens on hand just in case i have another random reaction.
