Re: tried everything nothing is working, need advice!!
I see you are allergic to milk , so I suspect you are sensible enough not to use the goatmilk soaps for your skin! as for flare ups, stress can do it,( I get christmas eczema for example!) as well as winter, due to heating drying out the skin. Have you been tested for environmental allergies as well...

Re: Allergy anxiety and paranoia?
YES. This is a normal reaction to a very real fear. What helps is reminding yourself that you have many many more days without a reaction, so that shows your management is working. also, remember that risk is part of normal life, you wouldnt cross the road without looking both ways, and you wouldnt ...

Re: 2 nut? reactions in 18 months, after 36yrs of no reactio
allergies are very complicated, you may have a high threshold to one nut you are allergic to, but really its more to do with the differing protein structures. and you may be allergic to more than one nut. threshold depends on the day you eat it, how well you are at the time, and of course the amount...

its possible to develop a allergy at any age, as you have found out. its possible that you are allergic to one or two nuts only. However, nuts are processed together and cross contaminate. so its very important that you avoid nuts, all nuts, for the time being. I think it would be advisable to ask y...

Re: Hay fever full stop!!
well, the pollen grain protien stucture must be similar , so getting hay fever in other countries must happen for some. are you starting your daily antihistamines 2 weeks before your pollen season starts? you need to build the antihistamine up before it starts. what other pollen reducing stuff are y...
