songcanary Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I had been feeling so well for the last year that I had resumed working part time. Today was feeling great until 4 pm when I had a sudden onset of overwhelming nausea, weakness, felt warm but no fever, shaky, several BMs within 30 minutes. It was so bad I had to ask another pet sitter to take over for me. That is just not OK. Then I noticed a little while ago that I have many hives on my forehead. I have had these before in small amounts, but not for months. I do take food drops for 11 of my allergens, including wheat. However, I had more wheat bread today than normal, 4 slices instead of 2. For the last few days have had some light nausea and was trying to get my weight back up. I am wondering if this reaction could be food intolerance? I feel like such a dummy asking this because I would probably tell someone else OF COURSE. But this reaction was so bad that I had to cancel clients and it really scares me. The worst was over within two hours but now I just feel washed out and not 100%. Stomach still feels awful.What on earth just happened???

juliegee Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 My guess? A mild anaphylactic episode. Do you do OK with antihistamines? Might try taking one and seeing if it helps. Sorry Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songcanary Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 You know, that does make sense. I actually took a Claritin the other day when I first saw the hives because I wanted to avoid bloodshot eyes if possible. I don't really know if it made a difference or not that time, but I'll try it again because I'm still feeling lousy five hours later. Thanks as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieze Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I think you do need feedback-we need to be able to talk this out as obvious as it may seem.My stomach often feels upset after a food reaction.I am wondering if we're just going to have some of that at this point but I'm a newbie to allergy restrictions.I hope in time my technique improves and I avoid the reactions.It does sound like some type of allergy reaction to me especially with the hives-so far I just get the other more internal symptoms which seems weird to me.
