Done most of that a long time ago, but thank you for thinking of it. Many people don’t realize what and how much can be absorbed through the skin.

That is actually the way I get my Benadryl. There’s something in most of the OTC forms of it that bothers me, so I’ve taken to using the liquid gel that’s supposed to help with poison ivy. I don’t react to it, which helps keep me from feeling worse, and it does help. I can tell by how broken out I am.

Thanks for the link.

And good night. It’s way late here on the east coast.

Thanks again, all.

Hi Metmom - I will pray for you continually. I too have food allergies and outside on skin. I take shots too. Less of them. It was twice a week to now once a month. You might of heard everything. It took years to get to a level were I could do regular work comfortably.

So I somewhat understand. I did rotation diet and many other avenues. It took me a dozen doctors to get to the one I have now. If you have been with one too long with no improvement I hate to say Its time to check for a new one. I am only going by my experience. This may not be the case with you. But I was really sick before this one. This doctor I have now has caused so much improvement. 15 years with him. Changed my life. It was terrible. I hope this helps. I know everybody has a strong opinion. You try to be nice and they still do not understand. So above all I will pray. May He bless You! Praise Jesus!

Okay, what you just posted, that's hugh! BIG clue, right there.

You know about the whole "leaky gut" thing, right???

I am so sorry for your plight Metmom....but rejoice in the courage and determination God has given you thus far...amazing fortitude!

My daughter in law just was relieved of severe asthma....she is alergic to dairy and all detergents. Could not rest at night...now is free of all that coughing.

I am glad you are looking further til there might be some understanding of what is going on with your system and hopefully find some answers. May the Lord give you all the strength needed to complete what is ahead...and we’ll all keep praying He will show the answer.

Praying hard.

I wish I understood the biology of auto-immune attacks. A lot of us have small versions of the extreme, life-threatening one you have.

I note that a lot of people find their child suddenly gets strong allergies right after a vaccination. Is there any time-correlation for this beginning after the same for you? A flu shot? The 4th flu shot? Just wondering.

Will keep praying. This is not fair and you should not have to suffer this.
