Allergies

Hi. I have the rash on my left arm close to my armpit. It is about the size of a dime. It is red in the center and purple and bluish around the edges. It doesn't itch, but hurts when I press on it. I had went swimming this past Sunday at a beach. Before I went to bed that night it wasn't there. But after I woke up Monday morning it was there. I don't know what's the cause of it. I have had had a few rashes to break out before on my body that didn't itch and they didn't hurt, but this one is different. I feel tired and sleepy all of the time. And, I have these migraine headaches all of the time. At times, I have these dizzy spells. I don't have a chance to go and see my doctor about it right now because he is booked up with appointments until October of this year. That is when I'll be able to go and see him. But, I'm very curious about this rash that I have right now. Can you tell me what it could be and what could be the cause of it?

I've been really sick this weekend and I always am when Ozone levels are moderate and higher, and I've always been curious about what causes this, and why these annoying symptoms... I know there are a lot of people out there with this same 'allergy' I guess.

I have a friend who up to the age of 16 ate sugar (candy, cakes, soda, etc.) without any problem. Then all of a sudden develops some sort of sensitivity to it. Now he cannot eat it at all. If he just has a tiny taste or even just holds soda in his mouth (without swallowing), his heart rate speeds up, his head gets hot, he gets dizzy, and feels like fainting. Is this possible?? He's gotten checked by a doctor many times and they all claim that he is perfectly healthy..he doesn't have diabetes or anything like that. So what can explain his reaction to sugar? Could it be that it is just his mind exagerating the whole situation? I mean, he's eaten it for many years...why only now would he develop a reaction to it? His problem is actually getting worse..before it was only candy, cakes and soda that he couldn't eat..now he's even scared to eat bread because of the minimal amount of sugar it has in it. HELP PLEASE! Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Found out this morning rather unpleasantly that I am allergic to hemp seed oil (was in my tanning lotion). I was told that because of this, I can't smoke pot (not that I do, but I am just wondering). Is this true?

I was diagnosed with a severe allergy to food preservatives about 3 years ago. It took a year for them to figure out exactly what I was allergic to. I was tested for everything under the sun. Now it's not just msg, but any kind of additive. It's very depressing, not being able to go out to dinner or even eat fast food. I was hoping someone would know of a support group for other adults with the same type of allergy in northern California.

I can almost never breathe through my nose. I used to get sneezing, watery eyes etc. all summer and fall. I think I outgrew that mostly, but now I just get that feeling where your sinuses are all stuffed up and your vision is not blurry but it hurts to focus and you want to go to sleep.

I wonder if rhinoplasty would help (anyone have a similar story?) My nose is not big or humpy at all, but the tip could be cuter or smaller & I wonder if I have that done, if they could remove a few bones in there or maybe there is a deviated septum?


Anyway, I'd love to hear from anyone who has rhinoplasty & did it cure sinus headaches or vision/ migraine problems also. THanks!!

I am allergic to all kinds of nuts (peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, etc.). If I eat a nut, my mouth starts to burn and swell up.The weird thing is, I can eat creamy peanut butter with no problem. Someone told me the reason why this is, but I do not remember what it was. Can you please help?

I am sure it is an allergic reaction to something. If you have, what did you do about it, other than taking Benedril. I don't want anything to make me drowsy. I have a lot of things to do today and I don't want my only options to be either go through the day and do the things I need to do suffering with this, sneezing constantly or just sleep all day and have someone else run my errands and watch my little boy.

Thanks ahead of time.

As I went through the online information available, I found that Austraila is one of the worst country to live in for people having Allergies. As I am planning to move there would really appreciate if can get more information regarding this.

If someone knows the worst and the best countries to live for people with Allergies please spend some time and post notes. As this may help lots of people who are either planning to migrate or shifting for studies or work.

i've been getting really bad allergies lately, and i take alavert (and sometimes allegra, when i feel like breaking into 2 [don't like swallowing pills]) and it helps temporarily. i have to carry allergy eyedrops with me cuz my eyes will get red too. also i've become mildly allergic to certain fruits. and this morning i woke up with a swollen uvula (the little thing hanging in the back of your throat). i drank plenty of water, so it's fine now. but i'm just really tired of having to deal with my allergies. is there anything i can do to lessen them and make them not so severe??? i'd really appreciate the help and/or experiences from fellow allergy sufferers.

I have just found out that I have a deadly TOMATO allergy. I will see an allergist soon. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issues? I am educating myself, this explains alot of health issues I have had in the past. Just need that moral support as I am reacting to different foods..(hives) and such. And wonder if anyone is dealing with this?
