Why do my eyelids swell, my eyesight become blurry, my neck & shoulder muscles spasm & hurt, my arms and hands get cold & numb, my blood pressure & pulse become dangerously elevated & I get exhausted when I'm exposed to any synthetic fragrance (soap, shampoo, perfume, air freshener, dryer sheets, etc) ?

Sounds like Anaphalaxis to me

What you have is called Anaphylaxis. Evidently you are allergic to any type of perfume or odors with alcohol or other ingredients put in these items. When the body comes in contact it tries to fight off the items that are irritating all of your body organs. thus the swelling eyelids,blood pressure etc. The best answer here is to take a Benedryl OTC (keep it handy at all times and carry it with you) and rush to the Doctor, hopital emergency room. or a Doc in a Box, ASAP. They have pens that have a syringe in them for emergency cases such as yours and yours is very serious. Don't take this problem lightly.
In the mean time, have your husband get the mail and throw away anything with a perfume odor, use dryer sheets without perfume, all soaps shampoos air fresheners with a smell of perfume flowers or anything else. All of the above items now come with NO smell to them. Buy them!

You are allergic. I know of a great way to be cured of any allergy forever. It takes 25 hours to become permanent and you will never have that problem again. I was cleared of allergies to milk, soy and my own hormones. I know it sounds silly but its very worth trying. Works 100% of the time. anyways, email me for more info!

You are having an allergic reaction. It can be very dangerous even deadly. Get your doctor to recommend a allergist. You should also carry something with you at all times to take if these symptoms should elevate.

Sounds like you have an allergy to something they all share in common - maybe some kind of dye that they all use? It sounds like an allergic reaction.

you should go get tested for allergies, and very quickly from the sound of things.. even if you've never had allergies before.. that can change.. and it sounds like it has for you.
