Been away for awhile.

[pretender]

Between September 2nd and November 8th I had 26 reactions, 15 A & E visits with 8 admissions. I was well treated by the hospital staff, paramedics etc. my final diagnosis being Brittle Complicated Coeliac Disease, Formaldehyde Allergy, Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Emphasema, Atrial Fibrillation, Left Ventricular Failure- heart failure. I had to request to see a dietician to get food for my CD or I would only have dinner at midday but the food I had was pretty good. I am now back home, living on my own since 8th November my health is improving with no reactions or fear of cross contamination.

Because I have allergies oral medication is not recommended, I was prescribed Warfarin and about two hours after taking it you could see my stomach bloating, wheat starch being an ingredient. Now prescribed Ramipril which has starch in try finding out the origin.....3 weeks and still waiting.

Wow...! And I thought I had things bad...!

With you in spirit; try to keep a brave smiling face and battle on!

thank you for your comments, I also threw in a divorce (September) after all this kicked off, it's been on the cards for many years so not an issue. Finally got the starch origin...maize! So glad as my medications are now doubled as from today.
