Please Help! New Allergies are ruling my life.
I keep developing new allergies and I hate it.
Im 30, Enby, and ai am currently allerigic to most things. I wont go into anaphylaxis, but my throat get's scratchy and my it causes my sinuses to get really bad, giving me a sinus pressure headache. Then I will have an acne flare up a day or two after exposure.
I didnt used to be allergic to anything other than fragrance soap. I used to get nauseated and get migraines at the smell of perfume/cologne. And fragrance heavy soaps would cause me to get hives or break out. But I never had seasonal allergies and I never had food allergies.
Then 3 years ago I opened the window in my classroom to let some air in because it was hot and all of sudden my throat was getting swollen and scratchy and my face felt hot.
Slowly I noticed things with nuts in them, things that I had been eating for years, were causing similar reactions. I got a butter pecan coffee and couldnt feel my throat. My hazelnut creamer made my tongue itch.
So I finally get to an allergist like 6 months later, avoiding nuts and wearing a mask outside. And Im now allergic to it all.
Thats right
- All nuts but pistachios
- Every grass
- most trees
- cats (I have 4)
- dogs (I have 2)
- hay
- cockroaches (ew?)
But Im also developing new allergies that
A: Werent tested for/not on the test
B: That I wasnt allergic to before
- Oats
- Cinnamon
- Carob seeds/carob chips
And the piece de resitence
-This week is White sugar. I put white fucking sugar in my coffee and started coughing as my tongue got swollen. But when I switch to brown sugar. It's fine. When I got coffee from McDonald's and it was fine but that could be because the sugar is in the syrup. Maybe my sugar just got contaminated. Im just so tired yall.
I fucking hate this. What is wrong with me? My doctor set me up for allergy shots I cant take because the stupid allergy doctor is on the other side of town from my work so by the time I get there after work theyre closed. But they arent trying to figure out WHY it's happening.
I miss peanuts and cinnamon rolls so fucking much. And If I can't have normal as coffee, Im gonna scream.
