Sorry: But no one on the internet is going to be able to decipher what you're reacting to. Stick with your doctors and let them continue your evaluations. Good luck.

Be alert: Try to identify any potential allergens, keep a list of things that do not bother you and potential culprits. Keep the Epipen (epinephrine) with you at all times.
