Hi . I'm new here to the allergy glycol page and I'm so pleased I've found a forum so I don't feel so isolated.
I have Rheumatoid arthritis and belong on their forum but I had an allergic reaction well full anaphylaxis to macrogol or polyethylene glycol in a biological drug I tried called cimzia.
I can't take antihistamines as it contains PEG or macrogol and since the anaphylaxis have now developed a high response to medicines with or without macrogol or PEG .
I'm currently suffering from pneumonia and a severe tooth abscess and I'm on steroids for asthma and breathing difficult ies
I'm viewed with suspicion at my local hospital whilst my immunology team are fab and are concerned about this macrogol allergy and altogether highly reactive immune response.
I'm learning how to avoid PEg in products but boy what a minefield
I'm lookn gfor a antibacterial mouthwash without peg or macrogol .
Are there any ?
Thanks for reading this and if I can help in any way I will .
Thank you again
Becky.
