I'm glad this came up as those of you on Rebars know I am eliminating gluten to see if I am allergic to it. It makes me wonder though if I might be allergic to anything else. What are common symptoms of allergies? I don't ever have any hives or anything, except this past winter I have had on my knees and elbows spots that are just like bug bites (only no bugs) they are itchy, puffy, red. And as soon as I start putting any moisturizer on them they go away. I think that is just from the dry winter air though.
Anyways I'm wondering if any of the odd symptoms I have every now and then might be allergic reactions to something and I not know it.
I have HORRIBLE memory, and it is getting worse. Sometimes I feel like I am in a fog as far as my thinking. I forget things people ask me to do ALL the time. I'm only 23!
Every now and then I itch, down there, but I never develop a yeast infection. (I haven't ever had one since I was a little girl and didn't wash properly)
I always used to get about 2 pimples any time in the week before I started my cycle. Now all of the sudden for the last three months they have been coming mid cycle.
I get bad side pains, non gas related at times.
For the last 3 months or so I have had a really odd reaction to caffeine, my heart feels like it is beating wildly, but it is not, the feeling actually comes from my lung area, and breathing deep becomes difficult, and I have panic attacks. (never had a panic attack before until this happened)
My eyes are SUPER sensitive. While reading Dr. Shultzes book on Cayenne he mentioned how he had a bunch blown into his eyes, and immediately after I read that my eyes started "smarting" and I had to cover them with a pillow. My eyesight has gotten worse really fast in the past year.
I had a whole bunch but now I can't think of them... *sigh* My memory is the worst thing, if I could get a good memory back I would be happy. And so would my DH...
