What about shots? Or are your allergies mostly food based?

You have said that your allergic to all medications,well I don't belive you considering that their are over 100 medicines. You either don't want to get better or your not looking as hard as you should be. I've been searching for a treatment for over 4 years I just recently found one advertised on t.V.

allergic to antihistamines, medication
same here. seems to be a rare condition.
what can one do. inform your g.p. and apothecary.
alternative medication:
eye-drops and nasal sprays with sodium cromaglicate.
sterods (low dosage, generally free of side effects) stops breathing problems.
worst case: adrenaline and epinefrine (the latter due to some peoples bad drug habits allmost impossible to come by, even in a precursor supplementary form)
could try vit. c natural histamin
hypo-sensitivation therapy to the histamine-mastcell producing allergy.
avoid:prilosec, zantac, pepcid, benadryl, genahist, sominex, unisom a.s.o. that contain any form of anti-histamine. also often included in common cold over the counter medicine.
you could end up dying. wear a bracelet or bring someone if you end up in the hospital.

3 words...antihistimine-free Dayquil. I too am deathly allergic to all antihistimines and this is the only over the counter medicine that does me any real good. Just make sure you don't get the regular kind by accident.
