I am allergic to a lot of things.Foods,latex,sun,dust,co鈥?fabrics,alcohol,etc.Help?

Both of my parents come from families with history of severe allergies. My grandfather died of an allergic reaction!I am allergic to a lot of things.Foods,latex,sun,dust,co鈥?fabrics,alcohol,etc.Help?
i have the exact same problem! and i totally understand that it controlls your life, and its so annoying when somebody offers you something and you cant take it cause of the allergies, or you cant do something cause of it...and people say 'oh your allergic to everything' like it your fault! that winds me up! any ways... you jusyt have to make sure you have your epi pen on you ALL the time, even if you just popping to the shop, or in the garden, trust me, i learnt the hard way. and if you have an inhaler? alwasy have that with you.





there is a new treatment about, i cant remember what it is called (really long word lol). its an injection every two-four weeks (depending on body height and size). at first you go to the hospital for it but eventually you learn to do it yourself, it works for about 70% of people and makes life changing improvements,


im on the waiting list for it now, it is only used in extreme cases so you doctor will want to try a variety of anti-histamines first,


so y not ask your doctor about it?


good luck x x
