I’ve always had really bad allergies, but it seems that within the past two years or so they have become ten times worse. I can handle those pesky little allergies that come from pollen and pet dander and such, but the food allergies are driving me crazy. I am awake now at 1:30a.m. because I’m itching and totally miserable. I have no idea what I’m having a reaction to. It could be from something I ate today or from what I’ve read it could be from something I ate yesterday. I have a rash almost everywhere and the itching is constant and almost unbearable. Benadryl provides some relief, but not quite enough and if the itching doesn’t stop soon I may be in need of Prozac. Having a food allergy would be a little easier to deal with if I knew what was causing the reaction. I would have no problem eliminating that food from my diet, if I knew it would stop all of this itching and misery. For the most part, my allergic reactions haven’t been serious, just annoying. My worst reactions included nausea and little bumps on my eye lids. I’ve tried to narrow it down and find out what the possibilities are, but it never works and I’m left back at square one…itching! I know that I need to stop eating whatever it is that I’m allergic to, before the reactions become worse, but how can I find out without going to the doctor and spending tons of money and doing tons of tests just so they can scratch their heads and say they don’t know. Maybe some day I’ll figure this one out, hopefully I will still have skin when I do.
