Hi, I'm new here (and pending official diagnosis).

I had alot of stress last August and suddenly developed nerve pain.
Some of it is due to a sudden latex/foam rubber (carpet and sofa) allergy.
It also branches out to some cleaning products and chemicals though.

Mostly if I touch something with my hands or chemicals get on my feet (I wear clothes that usually cover my arms and legs) I feel a burning sensation. It stops if I wash the chemical off. Alot of times I assume it is sun screen (we were at the beach when it really started) or a lotion.

For a while I could only tolerate soap with lemongrass in it (don't know why).
The latex issue is something I noticed at the same time when I sat on the sofa at the beach house. It took 9 months to get the diagnosis, but that has helped some. I now get anaphylactic reactions from rubber pen grips etc.

The nerve problem has persisted. I can't touch new clothes bc of the "sizing" and chemicals they spray them with for display in the stores.
This really came on suddenly last August and I'm kind of hoping there is some type of medication that can dull the effects.

Thanks, Luna
