Although you say you've been tested for allergies there's no way anyone can be tested for all allergies much less for the effects of a combination of things which could also be the cause of an allergic reaction.

The burning feeling in your mouth & tongue plus the sore tongue go together to suggest a food, or air spray or anything you might breathe in through your mouth (are you a person who breathes through your mouth at night?). The running nose & sneezing also suggest hayfever, allergy even sinus or any combination. It's a combination which I would suggest might be the problem. When did this start? Did anything change about that time? Also it could be worth considering an emotional trigger, that doesn't make you nuts, just human & emotions can cause some pretty awful affects on our body!!

As to the facial sweats, well the rest is all to do with the face (mouth, tongue, nose) so I still come down on the side of some allergy.

Try antihistamines (strong ones & if you can you might try taking a break away from home for a couple of weeks & see if that helps, but also change your washing powder, talc, perfumes etc. If the break away provides an improvement then you have some sort of answer, if not then I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Good luck.

Thank you for your helpful comments. I am actually on antihistamines at the moment and they are keeping the worst of the symptoms at bay but are not as effective any more as they were a couple of years ago.

I had a complete change of lifestyle when I visited australia for 6 weeks last year, different food, different wash powders etc. And the symptoms were as bad as they always are.

In your reply you mentioned "a couple of years" in reference to antihistamines, so obviously this problem has been around several years(?) - I assume you do change antihistamines from time to time as our bodies get "used" to them & ignore them.

Right now though the only other thing that occurs to me is to ask whether maybe you had taken (even if you aren't any longer) any medication (prescibed or over the counter) at the time this started or not long before. Sometimes medications can cause some weird & long term side effcts that are almost unique to one person.

Given that you talk about your dr but don't mention any alternative therapies, I suggest you try homeopathy &/or naturopathy they sem to me to be your best chances with something this well entrenched.

Good luck.

Homeopathy is an excellent suggestion here. The homeopath will literally match your exact symptoms to the homeopathic medication that is just right for you. He or she also may be able to do additional testing for allergies (using your muscle reactions not injected under the skin) and then eliminate the allergies through a desensitizing treatment using the culprit. There is a homeopathic company called king bio inc. I would go to their website and get their number. If you call them they can match you to a Dr. Near you who can help you out.

Thank you for all your comments. I have had these systems off and on for years but coming back with a vengeance over the last 4-5 years. At the moment I have been trying chlorella tablets which seems to help a little but I will most definitely consider visiting a homepathic practitioner. It sounds like good sense.
