I get the infusions too

At first I thought it was ok just some fatigue and my left arm goes numb and then tingly several times a day. Now I have hives that itch to the bone. The first time I was told to go to a dermatologist which I did and was told I’m allergic to shellfish. They gave me meds and it cleared up. It started again about a month ago and I can’t shake it. Keeps me up at night because I itch so much especially my torso. Nothing has stopped it. Went to my GP twice these last two weeks and he keeps changing meds but still nothing works and I feel it’s worse. I emailed my rheumatologist but haven’t heard back. I told her the first time and she recommended a dermatologist so I don’t know???

Hi, somehow I get all the tingles but not the hives, I’m glad to say, I do have a bad itch on my neck and shoulder on the left side I’m thinking they are or could be mini strokes with it being on my left side. I also have had hundreds of these (T I A) that have caused my Dementia, May be go see your Dr. Everything seems to be on the left.

All the best.

Went to allergist he wants to think it’s the remicade infusion. Doing all sorts of blood work to rule things out. I do have the tingling and numbness down the left arm.

Thanks
