And in many ways that IS one really bad pun!
Before PN I was allergic to sulfur [but not sulfa?]
Allergies to molds and pollens, but not lots else.
Now?
Like Cathie, the adhesive tapes [some kinds] get a deliteful rash! HIVES
Any rubs or salves with menthol, eucalyptis or alchohol. Just extra burning.
A newer moisturizing agents in some oils and creams called 'sunflower seed extract oil'...according to the FDA in pure form it's toxic....again ???-HIVES was the reaction.
SSRI's - throw me out of commission for a week! Not on this planet.
Detergents and even cooking oils...have to wear plastic gloves. OR burning hands.
OH! Those perfumes! Be near a person with too much? Almost pass out! Eyes water and close...breathing becomes difficult?
Possible reaction to MRI constast stuff - Hives again...get tested next month...this is to me, a critical one! Hope I'm not allergic.
Billye: Those were good finds, I think.
Kmeb: I can't speak about flus and the like [knick wood quickly! PLEASE!], as I've been on a consistent IVIG schedule. I also seem to be missing all those able to share in whichever doc's offices I go to! I've escaped this problem so far this year, but plan on being a zealot next year for sure. After all-It was pneumonia that gave me this neuropathy!
Wearing a mask, or, at least bringing it along might not be a bad idea. I used to receive my IVIG infusions in the hospital [on the cancer floor] and lots of nurses and patients did wear masks there!
I hope this helps
