I seem to suffer severe intolerances (sometimes allergies). Even a multivitamin or fluroscent lights or some homeopathic remedies tend to be very sensitive for me. I was under severe stress for a while & later I was given a pyschotropic drug (for fatigue) which seemed to have aggravated my condition.
I took the med for 7 weeks & stopped about 5 months ago. I did have withdrawal symptoms. I figured out thro' a holistic doc. that I have some nutritional deficiencies.
When I started to take the supplements I did experience dizziness, headaches, burning sensation in my eyes, nostrils, around lips etc.
Later I was told that I need to get desensitized using the BioSet technique. I haven't tried it yet.
So if there is someone out there who can share their experience which could help me I'd be really grateful.
Thanks

My 9 month old was given eggs by a babysitter who didn't know better, and he had an allergic reaction. Does this mean he'll be allergic forever, or will he grow out of it? If so, when can I try giving it to him again?

Everytime I eat something with mole sauce, I start wheezing and I have a rapid heartbeat within about 10 minutes and I get flushed. Anyone have an idea of what ingredient in mole sauce might cause this?

I broke out in hives for no reason at all. I haven't eaten, worn or used anything new. Except maybe some vitamin C I am taking for a cold I have.
But for the last two days, my upper body is covered in welts. Besides Benydrill (sorry for the misspelling) is there any treatments I can do to help them go away?

I was just reading the following on xolair.com:

"...XOLAIR is a different type of medication, the first to treat the attacks and symptoms of allergic asthma by blocking immunoglobulin E (IgE), an underlying cause of allergic asthma.

IgE is a substance that naturally occurs in your body in small amounts. When a person who has allergic asthma is exposed to an allergen, his or her body produces too much IgE. When these IgE antibodies combine with allergens, chemicals called mediators are released. In turn, the release of mediators causes the swelling and inflammation of the airways-the symptoms of allergic asthma.

According to the National Institutes of Health, 60% of people in the United States with asthma have allergic asthma..."
++++++++++++
I'm not sure how this med works-but...IN THEORY...could this med be used not only to control allergic asthma but to control allergies in general??? Like food and enviromental allergies???

Any insight shared is much appreciated!

I'm 26 and have noticed over the past 3yrs i get really hot and break out in red blotches over my skin when i have a drink sometimes which is embarassing. Im not an alcoholic and i only drink at the weekend. I used to drink a lot when i was younger and nothing ever happened but now i could have 4 drinks and i go red. I used to notice it happended when i drank vodka or any kind of spirit or when i mixed my drinks so i stuck to beer but now i've noticed it not the spirits because it also happens if i just drink beer. There are days i go out and mix my drinks and nothig happens and other days when a few beers makes me red. Can anyone tell me why this is. Is this natures way of telling me my liver is damaged or what. Is there anything apart from stopping drinking that i can do to prevent the redness.

In the morning, when I eat bread or sweet things (not fruit or cereal), after a few bites the roof of my mouth by the back hurts so much that I can't swallow. At first I thought it was cinnamon but it does it with other foods as well. And it only does it when its the first thing I eat, what could I be allgergic to??

I heard if you keep the same mattress for 10 years it will weigh twice as much as it did when you bought it brand new . All from the dust mites . Is this true?

My 20 month old has a persistent runny nose , which we thought was a cold but it has lingered, went away for a few days and is now back. She is starting to gag when she eats, presumably because she has post- nasal drip. I have tried humidifiers and vicks vapo rub which alleviates the symptoms only temporarily.
I was considering a trip to the doctor , because the mucus is clear . Her father has sinus problems too , could she have inherited this from him? We have tried just about everything and I do not know what else to do. Thanks for your help.

Last night I ate two hot links covered in BBQ sauce. I had eaten the same brand of both things many times before, but within 10 minutes of eating, I began to have dime-sized hives pop up on the insteps of my feet, my upper arms, and the inside of my thighs! They itched like crazy, and to add to the fun, I got a bad case of diarrhea that lasted from about 1 am to 5:30 am. Not a fun night! Anyone got any ideas what caused this to happen? It'll be a LONG time before I eat either of those two things again!
