STILL A MYSTERY DON'T THINK IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY DIAGNOSED YET??

by cootandchas, Sep 20, 2009 04:32PM
if you cannot help me i hope you can direct me to who i do need to ask this question
let me start by saying i am almost 34, female, and have been having this trouble for the last 6-8 years..I have been diagnosed with food allergies and i am allergic to 89 of my 91 sticks (including outdoor also) so i watch what i eat according to my doctor and i stay away from the things i am highly allergic to but in the meat group i am allergic to pork, beef, and chicken with pork being my worst so needless to say i am not going to eat fish everyday for the rest of my life and when i do eat pork it is in small portions and only once for that day this is why i do not feel all of this is related just to food allergies considering i do not have any symptoms then it is always at night waking my from sleep  i feel as though i have something else going on with me....to tell you a little about my life i have had an appendectomy when i was 14 and had clamps put on my tubes 10 year ago and i have cysts on my ovaries and endometriosis....My symptoms always start around 2:00-4:00 am waking me up with severe cramping in my lower right side of my stomach along with  pain in my pelvic area it feels like my insides are trying to come out of my vagina and when i try to set down it feels like i am pushing them all back up in me, which sometimes i have excessive exploding dirrehea and vomitting. then my body starts tingling all over along with my private area and the hives start..these are not ordinary hives they are huge (sometimes one side of my bottocks will be one hive) they are raised and jagged, then i start having trouble breathing where i either take a breathing treatment, (atarax) or use the epi-pen depending on the severity of it. there have been times where my hands and feet with develop knots in them and they start pulling in (like a charlie horse) then i start freezing all over and my body starts to convulse (jerk) all over and i cannot stop it. now i have not eaten anything differently than normal but i have noticed that this seems to happen sometimes right before i start my period (which i do not know if that has anything to do with it) my doctor has tested my hormone levels and said they were fine along with HIV testing and western sed-rate and venerial disease which again all of these are normal..now at the er last night they told me that my blood pressure was low, potassium was low, and WBC was low. everytime i go to the er they give me a steriod and send me on my way but i feel in my gut that something else is wrong and it is going undetected..I just dont see how food allergies can do this to a person who has never had a problem with food until the last 6-8 years..can you please help? i am getting very worried that i may quit breathing altogether..i just don't think i am the only person in the world who does this??i have no idea if this even pertains to anything but i also have granuloma annulare (a skin disorder)??

Have you told your gyn about this? especially feeling of insides coming out.  Also, keeping a diary of all of your symptoms, time of day they occur, include foods.  It helps drs to see it in writing.    Good luck.
