Dizzy Dame Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm sorry you're suffering so badly. Have you been to see an allergenist? Is it any particular herb that you react to? Is your reaction consistent with an allergic reaction (ie. flushing, hives etc.) or is it diffrerent? Sorry I have so many questions, it's just hard to tell exactly what's happening from your description. -Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortotmom Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Based on your description of symptoms, it sounds like you need a good allergist- now. I am sorry you have been unable to find anyone able to help. While many people with dysautonomia have drug intolerance and various allergies and reactions to different things, what your describing does not sound like anything I am familiar with on this board. The MVPS may have nothing to do with your hypersensitivity to herbs and drugs. You may have MVPS but also have something entirely different going on as well. I find it concerning the internal med doctors haven't at least referred you to someone else. I am sorry you are going through this- it sounds terrible. Maybe someone on the board can help you locate someone who can help- where are you located? Good luck.Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sonotech Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Can you take antihistamines??? They now make they ones that DISSOLVE in your mouth!!! If you can carry them arround at all times, you could always pop them in your mouth at the FIRST sign of an allergic reaction.The good thing about these meds is that they work quickly and dissolve so you don't have to have water readily available to swallow pills!!Of course I ALSO suggest that you see an allergist....if you have severe allergic reactions, then you might be a candidate for an "epi-pen" to self inject in case of a severe reaction!!Good luck.

JenniferInOhio Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Ditto the above. You need to see an allergist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Your hypersensativity is not uncommon. I wouldn't have a clue if it's related to MVPs or not but I do know a few of my friends that have similar "life theatening" allergies to certain foods, coloring, ect. Each time they get close to products with the ingredients that they are allergic too and have a reaction, the worse these allergic reactions are becoming. One person I know has three types of meds that she had to carry with her at all times incase of an allergic reaction to certain spices. I believe the meds were prescribed by a physician at the Mayo Clinic with reports from the Emergency Room visits. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 my allergy to peanuts started off like that....slow...slow...slow and now if my husband eats a pb & j and kisses me, my face gets tingly! there's other stuff that i'm overly-sensitive too, smells especially, but peanuts elicit an actual allergic reaction.i agree with the other posters, i don't know if it's related to the MVPS (but many of us here have lots of "sensitivities") it does sound like you should check with an allergist. i've also heard about something called something like (sorry, POTS fog...) chemical sensitivity syndrome? maybe it's something like that? [i'm probably way off base, here, i can't even remember what it's called]anyhow, i hope you get some answers and some relief soon!good luck!
