Allergies Anyone?

[Silver_Wolf_Kitty]

I have a pretty bad allergy to eggs(specifically the yokes, though whites can be troublesome too at times). When I eat them or foods containing them, I tend to get rashy, a bad headache, and a god awful stomachache. My mother also has this allergy and its gotten worse for her as she has gotten older(she can no longer eat any foods with them at all and her allergy has progressed to egg whites as well), so chances are mine is going to be equally bad in the future.

I also am allergic to any trees with needles, artificial and real(break out in a spotted rash), citric acid, seafood, and also grass. Its sometimes hard to tell for me whether or not I am having am allergy problem or a nervous rash, which makes it all even more troubling.

-bananas
-watermelon
-cantaloupe
-honeydew

all four give me severe heartburn, but bananas and cantaloupe make my tongue get itchy and it swells up.

Oh god, I think I would die if I was allergic to those.
That's too bad though, if you didn't like them it would be fine, but if you liked it it would be horrible.
My mother is allergic to plums, it makes her tongue itch and swell up, and that happens to my Aunt when she eats apples.

Silly Tenisha, you would die if you couldn't eat your mangos. xD

I'm allergic to grass and gluten. xD

I recently found out I was allergic to mold, so I spent my 16th birthday coughing my lungs out and lost over 15 pounds by...well you can guess.

Hazelnuts, they make my mouth, throat and lips unbearably itchy.

when mold sends out spores or somethin like that, i get really sick. my syptoms are similar to asthma(but its not quite like an asthma attack though. because the syptoms linger, and it doesn't suddenly start up. the syptoms are the same either excersing or not, which makes me think i'm not suffering from asthma.
I can barely breathe, i have chest pain, my nise is plugged, and I constantly cough. this also makes me think i'm not suffering from asthma. advair only helps somewhat, itr doesn't totally get rid of my problem, not even temporarly, it just makes me cough less tempoarily.

Epi-pens are injections of epinepherin, which is a form of adrenaline, when someone is in anaphylactic schock, you inject them with their epi-pen and it stops the swelling for around 10mins in time for the ambulance to come.

well thank you.. ive been in anaphylactic shock and i almost died.. considering that it was my first time knowing that i was alergic to anything. im alergic to all nuts... and let me tell you i have no idea what happened after i talked to the nurse at my school for about 5 min.. the next thing i knew i was in a hospital room... it was scary. they though i was gonna die and i did too. i was in second grade in the middle of class when a girl brought some cashews for show and tell. im jus gonna say things went bad then and there. ill tell you this much too... when you go into anaphylactic shock.. you forget everone that you know for a while. when i woke up i had no idea who my mom was! it was scary... but im glad to say ive never had to use my epi pen.. thank god. but still thank you... i never really knew what it was. thanks!
