I hate allergies

I've been suffering from an allergy for a week now. I didn't eat anything bad. But it's getting worse when I'm eating citrus like orange and lemons. It already happened last year and on the same month. Maybe it's because of the climate. It really feels bad, it feels like it's thickening and tightening.

you need to to stop NOW. This is coming from someone who has had first hand with anaphylaxis reaction to food. My husband went his whole life eating seafood and wham......severe allergic reations. Throat closing, eyes swelling. We have to watch everything it is so bad. Can you see an allergist to have them test you?

That happened to me and MSG in Chinese food. Go to a doctor ASAP. It could be something not even related to food, but you are allergic to something. I thought I was allergic to the new spray cleaner at work, since I had been eating Chinese from the same restaurant for years on end and never suspected it. Only way to be sure what is causing the problem is to get to the doctor. Once you have been sensitized you could die the next time.
Since this IS the next time…go to an emergency room.

I never really unerstood peoples allergies as I have none, dont hate lol, until I dated a girl who had to get shots in her arms once a month because hers were so bad. If she didnt get them it was like a running faucet hives you name it and that was just from pollen. Then a buddy of mine cant eat most seafood. I guess its shellfish of any sort. We were at a resturant maybe 8 years ago and he ate some food that had crab in it. Oh buddy watch out. Swelled up like a melon around his face and eyes. He was having issues breathing. It was bad. We were literally 2 miles from a hospital. I ran him over there and they did what they did. He had issues for a few days but they saved his iife. My point is that stuff is no joke man. Id get to a Dr asap.

What is? Your sinus cavities, throat, ...? Allergies can be really bad and I am glad that I don't have any. My wife has pollen allergies which drive her crazy but fortunately none of us have food allergies. Go see a doc!!

My lips, I've already went to the doctor, asked what I ate. i did not eat anything bad for me, what I eat is the usual food that I used to eat. It's getting worse when I'm eating citrus. It turned black and dry...the natural color of my lips is gone.
And....I think it's because of the lip gloss I used, I put it on to my lips before I went to sleep then when I woke up it has gotten worse again! I'll never use that again.

I don't have any allergies. I dunno... I am just lucky, I guess.

My poor boss has been suffering from seasonal allergies for like 2 months now. He is always trying to take a bunch of OTC meds and stuff and he can't seem to get any relief. That seems like it must really suck.
Sorry guys. :(
