Specialist: Are you seeing an Immuno/allergy specialist and have they determined what triggers this response? That needs to be done. The response you are describing is lifethreatening and not to be taken lightly. Your life depends on being diligent about avoiding the triggers! My advice - see the specialist and develop a plan of care specific for YOU that ensures your wellbeing. You are worth the effort.
