i recently got allergy tested and it turns out that i am 4+ (the worst score) allergic to my cat and dog. along with a whole bunch of other things that i can't control.....my doctor is recommending i get weekly allergy shots and i'm just wondering if this actually helps people, it seems like it will take a really long time to get a little bit of relief. i'm going to do it either way, but i was just wanted to get some opinions from people who have gone through this.

anybody have experience with this?! did they help you?! i refuse to get rid of my pets, so i guess this is the next step.......

thanks :)

My husband developed stomach problems when he was 21(loose bowels, bloating, painful cramps). He's already been tested for parasites (which was the first guess since the problems developed while he was in South America). While I welcome any educated guess on what might be ailing him, I specifically wondered if food allergies can manifest themselves in adulthood, if that's something we should think about getting him tested for.

Once, when I ate some miso soup which had sea weed in it, I broke out into hives all over, for the first time in my life. But I continued to eat miso soup occasionally (because it's just SO good!) and it never happened again, even though they all had sea weed in them. I figured it was just a fluke, but then I used a sea weed toner on my face, and my face started burning like you would not believe and turned bright red. So what's going on, I wonder?

Lately, if I eat anything with chocolate or chocolate chips in it, that night when I go to sleep, I find that I feel very hot, like I am sweating, but at the same time, I am freezing. No fever. E.g., I am so hot I want to kick off all the blankets on the bed, yet, when I do, I am so cold I put them back on, then I am too hot. It's so uncomfortable, it's like my skin tingles all over, too hot & too cold at the same time. It makes it impossible to go to sleep. The only common factor I find is that it happens on evenings when I have had a dessert with chocolate in it. Anyone heard of this?

I take the two in combination for my allergies. I've been getting allergy shots for two years and thought maybe I could try stopping one of my meds. I do have asthma but the Singulair didn't help that. I use Advair to control my asthma.

This is actually a hypothetical question not meant for me, but for my drummer's wife. Our band is doing well, and could play as much as we would want to, but the drummer's wife is allergic to cigarette smoke, can't come out to the shows, and complains to him about the time he spends without her. All the other wives come to the shows, enjoy the hell out of it, except the drummer's wife. We would all be so much happier if she could come out and be comfortable with the rest of us, so I'm looking for suggestions.

Today my skin broke out in rash, all over my body. It started with like heat spots that would merge together and it was as though a big patch of skin that had swollen up. My skin's all blotchy. It's everywhere, and that's no exaguration -elbows, thighs, knees, wrists, chest, back, neck, underarms, face, stomach an i'm assuming scalp as i keep getting the need to itch!
My skin feels like it's on fire. My wrists have swollen up.

Its around 24 degrees, my friend and family suggested it was due to heat. could be an allergic reaction, but i cant think o anything. My sister had something like this, but on a much milder scale, much milder, she takes tablets which helps, so i took one her tablets today, her skin gets blotchy around her back about twice a month.
when my sister went to the doctor, he didnt have a clue what to do, so i don't see the point of me going.

Any advice?

A side question, what are hives, why do they happen, and what do they luk like?

The substance appears on and off every 2 or 3 weeks. It is not an infection but it could be an alergy.
