Allergies which may be common to LS sufferers
Posted , 12 users are following.
Just a thought that we might have some stuff in common. For instance, I am allergic to iodine - anyone else?
I seem to also have a problem with tomatoes and posibly oranges.

I don't have any allergies that I know of of per se but I do find if my LS flairs up when I have had too much junk food in one day. Also have an intolerance for shell fish all my life - makes me feel sick if I eat more than a small amount and on occasion I have actually been. Don't touch shell fish at all now so never had a link with LS
Does make an interesting point though I would imagine due to the link of autoimmunity and L S that it would make sense that some suffers have allergies as allergies are linked with an over active immune system.

Sadly I think red wine gives me catarrh, and any fungal spores in the air and i wheeze for England.I have an immediate reaction if a house has damp. I have to put (Clean) clothes in the tumble dryer to remove any dust if they havent been worn for a couple of weeks- again i wheeze and sneeze. Elastoplast - or any non anti allergic plasters. And as a white skinned red head the combination of sun sand and sea breezes I would be covered in water blisters within the hour if every part of me wasnt covered up - and my ex....truly.... as soon as he entered a room i sneezed and started wheezing, Cat dander, eyes itch
Phoning help lines and ending up speaking to people from abroad - b/p goes up if the accent is thick and the "helper" speaks too quickly
Re the LS only stress is my trigger that I can determine

I too find that stress is the worst possible thing for my condition, which I am choosing to call Pseudo-LS, because it's still there but the consultants say it isn't from their biopsy.
