Hi Sol,
I say this with the greatest of respect to you. Did you ever find out what the basic cause or
trigger was to your sensitivities? And what did you do to 'get out' of that situation.
Hi Tony,
I regret to say I did not get out of the allergy situation. In fact
this year has been worse than usual, with constant chronic itching and
parasthesias. Antihistamines were losing effectiveness too. I'm now back
on fairly high dose cortisol, and that is finally helping. I've had to
do several high dose steroid "tapers" this year. I recently stopped my
thyroid hormone, as I felt it was a source of extra iodine I just can't
handle right now. And that seems to have helped a lot. I'd rather be
hypothyroid than have worms and ants crawling under my skin daily. Not
to mention the actual itching.
In other areas my knees are doing great, the arthritic joint nodes in
my hands are also much smaller. Mostly I sleep better (for me). My
peripheral neuropathy is at a low level, no longer disabling.
I do wonder though if the last injection into my cervical vertebrae
could be causing the problem I've had this year. It was done nearly 2
years ago, and I let it be done because I was assured that the iodine in
the injection would NOT get into the rest of my body. But I now wonder
if that is strictly true, surely it would "leak" eventually? It was
supposed to be a very small amount, and I didn't have any reactions
either immediately or in following months. But something is contributing
to my bucket now staying close to overflowing constantly, though I don't
actually even know if it is iodine, nickel, or just too much histamine
in foods, or something new. I'm just coping the best I can.
It may be of interest to you that I've been told that iodine allergy
is not a true IgE allergy, though it does produce mast cell
degranulation and histamine release by some other mechanism. Because it
isn't a true IgE reaction it apparently never will go away, as can
happen with other allergies, and it might even be genetic in nature
somehow.
