Developing allergy at my age?
by Duchess47, May 26, 2006 12:00AM
I am a 49 y.o. female with a lot of various health issues. I have Graves disease which I am in remission of right now. In the past I have been treated with prednisone and antibiotics for other health issues. Right now, I have swelling left eye only, with a fluid pouch underneath, very, very, itchy ears, stuffy nose, sore/scratchy throat, and headaches. Could this be allergies to something? I don't have a fever. I have never been diagnosed with an allergy of any kind. I have been given nasal spray in the past for feeling of swelling in back of throat,which I also have now. I have never been able to take an allergy or cold medicines because of my thyroid problem. I usually start to get symptoms at night and then they start to go away during the day. Any suggestions as to whether or not this is allergy to something environmental or what? Is there anything that I can take for symptoms? I am definitely going to try the lemon juice and water for the feeling of throat swelling. I really do not like to take any medications unless I absolutely have to. I also have Gastroparesis and wonder if I can have a food allergy. Would I get the same symptoms? Thank you in advance for answers and suggestions.

It seems to cause strange symptoms, including new allergies, including throat (asthma) type symptoms.
I'm 48 and I have many unknown allergies and stomach problems (tested positiv for the Helicobacter bacteria),sometimes I have the feeling of my throat closing up . My doctor said it comes from the stomach muscle and gave me Diazepam 2mg for pharyngeal spasm. . I tried it and it worked.
Don't try lemon juice, it makes the stomach more acid what is not good for your Gastroparesis.
Hope this helps you.
