Do You Have Any Allergies???

Liz- are you saying it was PI all along, your allergy? If so, wouldn't your family doctor have recognized that one pretty easily? I think I could dx that one, LOL.

My friend has a serious PI allergy....she breathes it in...

I'm glad you found out what you were allergic too, just be very careful where your walking I guess! I hope it goes down and that solves it.

I've never really had a life threatening allergic reaction. However, I swear I'm allergic to just about everything. I'm allergic to Sulfa antibiotics, they give me the hives. I'm allergic to pretty much every animal with fur, ironic that I was born an animal lover eh? Sneezing, itchy eyes and nose, and Springen's slobber gives me the hives! Doesn't stop me from loving them though I'm much more allergic to cats than dogs. I'm allergic to grass, weeds, and pollen. I was so allergic to dust that when I was little my parents had to rip out the carpet in my room and put plastic covers over my pillows and take away my stuffed animals. I hate allergies.
I take zyrtec/claritin and flonase (nasal spray) every day. Benedryl when it gets really bad.

I have been taking Claritin and Bendyrl this last time. It is so weird
that I am not allergic to the usual things and then have a bad reaction
to PI.

Liz, don't feel bad. Lots of people who have food allergies are allergic to peanuts, or dairy, or wheat and gluten ... but not me! I'm allergic to things like celery and eggplant and beef!

My primary care DR. thought since it was so severe it must have been
something taken internally, like some meds I was on or a food I had eaten.
He treated me with a aggressive round of Pred (9 days) and it did go away.

He also eliminated one med after anouther to find what caused it but
never found it, so he sent me to an Allergist.

I too thought he should have suspected PI, but what do I know?
