30 year old female with adult onset allergies

by ndemarco78, Jul 20, 2009 10:01AM
I am a 30 year old female.  Beginning about 11 months ago I began having anaphylactic reactions to codien.  At the same time I was also having less severe allergic reactions to apples, peanuts and mustard.  About 2 months after my first anaphylactic reaction I had another one to perfume.  This past week I have had 2 anaphylactic reactions, this first one was to blueberries and the second the cause is unknown.  I have had all of the allergy tests done and my doctor has told me that my reactions were moderate.  I guess my question is what is the cause of this.  Could these reactions be associated with another condition?  I am not sure what to do at this point.  I am terrified to eat.  thankyou

Hi,

My daughter would get migraine headaches from certain perfumes and cigarette smoke.  Turned out it was the high levels of sulphur we think.  Anyway, she also is anaphylaxic to nuts, latex, plums and cannot eat certain raw veggies. She is very allergic to env. allergies.  Are you on any type of ongoing allergy meds?  We've found that once her other allergies are in check, her reactions are less severe on a daily basis all around yet she wears her medic bracelet and carries an epi pen.

Has the allergist checked some less common things such as latex since you are peanut allergic .. legumes are in the family along with avacodos, kiwi, and bananna.
