Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your concern. But you may be allergic to other triggers. Also, It may help to maintain a food dairy and keep monitoring your symptoms. This will help to narrow the search and avoid them. Environmental triggers or seasonal or diurnal variations triggers may be difficult to avoid. But being aware can help to avoid the same. Just keep monitoring for other sources of allergens. Epinephrine is unlikely to cause allergic manifestations.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I am still trying to fight these hives and was woundering....I have a sulfa allergy also I always groupped it with all my antibiotic allergys ....was resently told also to watch out for foods as well...I was told years ago that I am allergic to epinephrine but doctors question that because I was already having a allergic reaction at the time....Is it possible I'm dealining with more than one reaction?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Sometimes environmental, diurnal and temperature variations can trigger attacks. These are difficult to avoid, but you could be aware and protect yourself if they are the causative factors.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
