HI, My name is yvette I am 36 yrs old and I have 5 children. My condition started around March of 2009 and it has gotten worse since then.
My symptoms are ,itchy hands and feet, itchy eyes, mouth and tongue. The back of my throat starts to itch alot to. I get very hot and my stomach starts to feel hot and I get really bad heartburn and It is very hard for me to swallow my food. Then I break out in hives that cover my entire body and my lips, ears, hands, feet and forehead get very swollen. A few a months ago it got so bad, my whole body was completely covered in hives and I was swollen from head to toe. I started feeling weak and it was hard to breath, my pulse was very weak and I felt very cold It felt like I was dieing so I ended up passing out. My husband called 911 and they gave me a shot and took me to the hospital. They said I was going into Anaphylactic shock. They did so many tests but could not come up with a definite answer just that I had to be allergic to something I was eating or using. It's very scary cause I do not know what is causing it. Lately it has been happening on a daily basis and I am always itchy. I was told that it could be a food allergy. I have tried to cut out alot of foods and products that might be causing the problem but that hasn't helped. I used to weigh 130 but I have gone down to 100 lbs because I cannot eat alot of the foods that I used to eat. I am always weak and tired.
I am really worried about this. I have been healthy all my life so this new to me. If anyone has any info or if you have heard of this condition please let me know. Thanks
