Nickel allergy cured

I am not aware that any true allergic contact allergy can be cured, what happens is that with each new exposure you symptom reaction time is less and less and the symptoms become more severe. Yet I believe in miracles as I lived with adult leukemia for 15 years watching my blood count deteriorate slowly, they call this simmering, then 5 years ago the numbers started reversing without treatment. Even both types of cancerous lymphocytes are now normal, all is normal. Doctor says this is new to him, very rare.

That said, if your symptoms recur and you do or don't have a nickel allergy, or other allergy get the 5 Day Extended Patch Test from a specially licensed dermatologist or allergist. I had the True Test Kit and one other kit also so my back was covered with 78 patches for 5 days. With results I learned the names of preservatives, fragrance, elements in rubber, classes of steroids and adhesives i react to and I must avoid for life. I am not allergic to metal or dyes at this time. If you had a nickel allergy it will show up. I could never have guessed on my own what was causing my rashes. This test gave me my normal productive life back because I carefully control my contacts (harder than one can imagine, but doable). Ah- the blessing of a good night's sleep free from pain and itching.

Hi friend, I have chemical allergies also and try to manage them with education and avoidance (like you) and steroid creams. What do you wear for a rain coat? I can't find any type of rain coat that doesn't have water-resistant chemicals. Thoughts?
