auto immune urticaria , anaphylactic shock Posted: 06-17-04 16:53pm
I am trying to solve the mystery where my
health is concerned. I developed auto
immune urticaria a year ago, and have gone
into anaphylactic shock 4 times during the
past 12 months. No external cause has
been found, but I blame it on a swim in a
local reservoir. Since then I have also
developed polycythemia and have severe
mobility problems. I have had to reduce
my working hours from more than fulltime
to 2 days a week and have all kinds of
other symtoms that are totally impairing.
My sense of humour has thankfully
remained though . I have been told
that the three identified conditions are
not related which I find hard to believe.
Is there anyone else out there with these,
or part of these dis-eases(take your pick
basically) who could help us solve the
jigsaw?
