Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hey everyone! I am so glad Carol (Sarasmommy) referred me to this group! I am actually the one in my family that has the allergies. My son has eczema and a supposed corn allergy, but I have the problems, lol After I delivered my son (now 5) I developed a peanut allergy. I was getting HORRENDOUS rashes on my face and the dermatologist or allergist were stumped. I reviewed my diet, elimiated the peanut products (I had them almost every meal!) and it cleared. Skin testing took over a year to finally show a significant reaction. They then blood tested to confirm it. THEN.... I delivered my daugher(now 2 1/2)... I would wear latex gloves to wash dishes because the soap made my skin peel. I would then get welts on my hand. When I showed the doctor, they blood tested for latex. After the results I was given my epi-pen and a medic alert bracelet. I also have a soy sensitivity since having her. They are scared for me to be pregnant again.. who knows what I will become allergic to! =o0 I have never had an anaphylactic reaction to these things, but according my bloodwork I would explode (well, being dramatic now, lol). So....does anyone have an similar experiences or info? Would be much appreciated! Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
