Anyone else have allergies along with Endo?

Grr.. Like things can’t worse! Battling anorexia, insomnia and psychosis.... So anyway, for about 7 years I’ve been ‘allergic’ to the sun! It has always been particularly bothersome! But now though, it’s got massively worse!

And well it turns out, there’s no difference between the mechanism for sepsis, and the mechanism for anaphylaxis, only the trigger is different! Sepsis, infection, anaphylaxis, benign allergen!

So as you can imagine, I am now on off the label antihistamines and strong steroid cream! They can’t give me oral steroids because of my risk of infection, and sepsis!

Lol... What an interesting position to be in!

Anyone know anything about the immunology side of Endometriosis because it would appear in breaking down!

Xx

I have problems with my skin reacting to lots of things, the sun makes me sneeze and eyes water. Had 2nd vaccine, and woke up with incredible backache! It's not a side effect but reading up just might be s result of inflammatory response you get after vaccines. I reported it and said I have endo but I would guess they will put it down to coincidence even though I've not had it before. I think endo is just one enduring and very debilitating symptom of something underlying. By ignoring endo or treating it in isolation they ignore the link to other issues. We are treated as a set of independent body parts if we are treated at all.
