Allergies

I took an allergy blood test which came back negative, but my allergist says that I could still be intolerant to certain things. Is there a test to find out, and if so, what is it like?

Why is can cause extreme caffine sensitivity? I can have a can of caffinated soda at 10am and still can't sleep at midnight? A couple of years ago I could have had caffine and slept 30 minutes.

I just went in to an allergist today and found out I'm allergic to about every tree, bush, grass, or shrub in my local area. The doctor recommended I start treatment with allergy shots. I think I'm gonna do it but was curious as to how great or not so great these shots will make my breathing! Please share with me!

When my brother-in-law eats anything that has a dairy product in it, he starts to threw up and gets hives and sometimes a fever and serve stomach aches. He is allergic to dairy or could he be lactose intolerant?

My allergies have been so bad lately. My nose gets clogged up and runs horribly. This happens especially after I get out of the shower for some reason. It happens other times though too. I can drive around with the top down fine, but when im sitting watching tv my nose goes nuts. I take a Claritin when I can, and sometimes use nostril spray. Any other suggestions/recommendations? Thanks!

I have to buy new pillows and I was told that my pillows are causing my allergies to act up. Is there an alternative that I can get a really down feeling pillow without the dust mites?

Due to a chronic back condition I was prescribed a fentanyl patch. I wore it for a couple days then the area beneath it became welted and irritated. The second one had the same effect in just a few hours. I recently had surgery, now every time I dress the incision I have a reaction to where the adhesive touches the skin for any length of time. I have never had this problem until the duragesic patch. I have tried several types of medical adhesives and all seem to have the same effect. For example I removed some of the tape around 30 hours ago and it is still welted and itching and in a place or two burns. Does anyone have an idea what I might do about this and/or an alternative for holding on the dressing as this is the most irritating thing I can imagine. I have tried washing the area with alcohol to remove the adhesive and a cortisone cream for the irritation and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated more than you know.

I heard (from more than 1 source) that eating certain fish and dairy products can kill you. Apparently doctors haven't discovered why yet. Also, people say it causes a reaction that kills you. Please, tell me, is this true and/or do u have any information regarding this?

My 14 month old daughter usually wakes up every morning with a stuffed up nose. September has been particularly bad as she can't breathe out of her nose. Is this allergies? If so, why is seemingly unaffected during the day? Any ideas as to how I can help her? She has been waking really early these days and can not seem to get back to sleep because of it.

I ask this question because close relatives of mine noticed that their two year old developed a minor rash on her neck after eating her first peanut butter sandwich. They took her to an allergist who diagnosed her with a peanut allergy which, of course, means that she will be unable to eat so many foods that children routinely enjoy. In thinking about it further, it seems to me that in my generation (I'm 45) people knew one or two kids in an entire school who had peanut allergies, and a small handful who had dairy allergies. These days, with every rash after a meal, alarmed parents take their kids to an allergist, who, as sure as rain, diagnoses some sort of food allergy, that will, of course, require his attention for years. Am I completely off base to think that something other than a true diagnosis is often at work here? (I understand that some kids can actually die from a peanut allergy, but wonder if this,and other allergies, are being widely over-diagnosed).

Do I have to avoid all furniture from a household that had a cat or can I just vacuum the sofa throughly to remove the cat dander? If I just sit near my daughter after she has held a cat, I have a reaction. I don't even have to see the cat.

i am a 19 year old girl and i think i have a minor alergy to alcohol. for example when i drink beer my whole mouth including my tongue and throat go numb and i feel intoxicated when i havent had that much to drink after only 1 or 2 beer, also the next morning i will have stomache cramps and be constantly in the bathroom but not like a hangover because no headaches or nausea, and not enough alcohol consumed for a hangover. where as i can drink as much vodka as i want without having this effect and it takes me much more alcohol to get drunk.

do you think the numbness and cramps mean a minor allergy to alcohol?

I am a care provider and my client has several "allergies" but I have noticed that when she gets severly depressed she says that she is having an allergic reaction to whatever I may have given her to eat just minutes before. There is no rash or shortness of breath or any other symptoms of an allergic reaction, but she says that fear and depression are HER symptoms. I have never heard of fear and depression being associated with an allergic reaction.....could I be wrong?

For years, taking Benadryl caused me to have an allergic reaction. Doctors thought this was so humorous, but it wasn't until last year that a doctor said "Hey, maybe you should try the dye free benadryl" and sure enough, I was allergic to the dye.

So I've been wondering, ever since . . . Why would they add dye in the first place if people are allergic to it? Why not just sell a dye free version?
