Allergies Anyone?
 

I was wondering if anyone out there had any allergies.
I am highly allergic to any peanut/nut product and things like that
when I have it my throat closes and it is really hard to breathe and I vomit.

does anyone else have any allergies?

Me too.
 

I have allergies to cashews.
If I eat them I get itchy, my tounge feels puffy and it's hard for me to breath.:(

Im lactose intolerent, which isnt exactly an allergy, but still.

My proper allergies though are citrus fruits (makes my lips swell up and I get a rash) egg (rash) cocoa (blisters inside my mouth) oregano (mouth blisters) red berries: raspberries, strawberries, cranberries (lips swelling)


Thankfully no anaphylaxis, do you guys with anaphylaxis have epi-pens?

^ What's Anaphylaxis?

I'm allergic to penicillin and all types of it (rash), Ceclor(think it was a fever and rash), and all Sulpha drugs (hives). Basically all the stuff that fights infections and other allergies. How stupid is that? X_x

I'm coeliac (sp?) which means I can't eat anything with wheat/flour. That includes cakes, biscuits etc. If I eat it, I vomit, but on Monday I ate a biscuit and nothing happened. Maybe I'm growing out of it. Yay!

Bee stings, and nothing else.

I was told i was allergic to bee stings and such
so the first time I had ever gotten stung, I thought I was gonna die!
and to make that worse I was catching a ferry boat to go back home!
so, no doctors.
but I survived. XD
and the funny thing is since I have the peanut allergies in my house all my siblings think they do so they wont eat anything with peanuts. xD

Anaphylaxis is when an allergy causes the airways to swell, so you stop breathing.
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.

allergy shots
 

Has anyone here had allergy shots, and how did they work for you? I have bad allergies and it's such a pain because I am around animals, dirt, and hay everyday. I think these could be good for me but I would love to hear others opinions.
