Experiences with

Allergy test

I asked for allergy test, surgeon insisted there is no allergy to pacemakers. I cannot eear most jewelry as i break out in blisters. My options? wireless Pacemaker in heart or nothing. I opted for nothing as i feared allergic reaction inside heart.

I had every allergy test done, but all negative, just a slight showing in bloodwork. Turns out we often are low in DAO which is the enzyme in the body that breaks down histamine.

I wanted to share with you that I have had a contact allergy test, and I have been found to be allergic to the metals: nickel, cobalt and palladium. I have been instructed to restrict certain foods from my diet, a lot of them actually.

I’ve booked in for an allergy test but that will take some time to happen. In the meantime I’m avoiding suspect foods but keep getting caught out ( chocolate was a surprise!) Sulphites could be the culprit. Present in all of my allergy foods. But I’m interested in why now?

I need advice under standing how to take my meds and supplements. I take omeprazole, (for gerd) Losartan 12.5 mg.(Blood pressure) Allegra 180mg ((Allergy) Multi Vitamin, B12 1000mg, zinc 50mg, Gentle Iron 25 mg, 1200 mg of Gabapentin, I also take a sleep aid either Tylenol PM, Advil PM, or Trazodone

Has anyone had a sensitivity/allergy test done in West Sussex? Don’t know if this would discover anything but worth a try.

Have any of you had to take antihistamines? I’ve had head, nasal and chest congestion for a week. No temperature that I’m aware of. My pharmacist suggested Claritin or Allegra. I’m being very cautious and was just wondering?

A newspaper article and a paper in Nature that raise questions about the effects of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI - such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Dexlansoprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole and Rabeprazole), Sucralfate, H2-receptor antagonists (such as Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine

Anyone taken these? Were they useful? thanks.

Can anyone suggest somewhere where I can request a wide ranging allergy test. I feel certain that something is causing these variations. I'd be grateful for any advice on this matter.

I am curious to see how I compare with others who suffer from bronchiectasis. So far, I have had pneumonia 3 X in an eight-month period. It seems like a lot. My last sputum test in June 2022 showed stenotrophonoma and aspergillus. I do lung clearance once daily and Ventolin 2X a day. Also, Breo Ellipta

I’m waiting for my allergy test results to come back. The doctors still can’t find what’s wrong. I’ve decided to take stomach binders such as Chlorella capsules and liquid Zeolite and that eases the symptoms slightly. I would just want to feel better again, but I feel worse. Any advice?

Has anyone experienced increased allergies with Hashimotos?? My wife has had it for 15 years. she had the vaccine for covid last year and now seems to be more allergic to anything from her favourite food to glasses she has worn for years and eye drops she has used for the past 3 years with no probs

He now told me that he no longer thought it was an allergy since the blood test did not show evidence of an allergy. He said that instead he thought it was the Ibrutinib, which I take every morning after breakfast, which was the cause of it all.

I’ve been taking a good quality vitamin and had an allergy and intolerance test, which has uncovered several potential culprits. This has meant doing an elimination diet for 3 months (which I’m near the end of).

The BTA/SfE said nearly 2 years ago that they were writing a new T3 consensus statment. It's published today. The joint thyroid patient groups believe that NHSE, RMOC and PrescQIPP are waiting to read this before they finalise their new T3 guidance, and will base theirs around this. They all wrote drafts

Hiya, my older ft4 blood results used the scale 10.5-24.5, whereas now they are 12-22, I was was wondering if this means that each point as a percentage is actually now worth a bit more, eg 1 point is worth 10% change vs 7% or that they are just saying they think outside 12 or 22 is not normal. the

I am going to Cyprus soon Paphos region and was hoping to top up my T3 supplies whilst there, has anyone been able to purchase T3 OTC in Cyprus recently? Would it help if I took some of my prescribed T3 (Mercury Pharma brand) and prescription to show that I am genuine and it’s for my own use?

Hi, just to say I’m on holiday in Skala, Kefalonia and had planned to stock up on T3. The pharmacist told me it was impossible to get hold of any - it’s all being sold to the UK!! Bah.
