I’ve been having this issue ever since I had Covid a few years ago. Doctors tell me to take Zyrtec and Flonase. It hasn’t helped (I mean Flonase gets rid of my stuffiness but does nothing for the itching) I suggested it maybe mcas but doc said he doesn’t think that’s what it is. When I had Covid I had a boil on my index finger never had a boil before then. And Covid also caused a spike in my heart rate and pneumonia. When I went to the ER the doc told me they were getting a lot of young people with high heart rates but couldn’t pin point the reason why. Anyway, every day is an itch I can’t eat food like I use to. Sometimes my throat gets tight, my eyes get itchy and I get hives and a rapid heart rate. I cut out soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, all the major food allergens and I already have celiac disease so I’m gluten free too. I noticed my heart rate doesn’t go up like it use to and I don’t feel flushed after I stopped eating those things. Allergist confirmed tree nut allergies so I do have an epi pen. The thing is, it’s not all the time I get hives. But every night I get this itch on my legs and back and there’s nothing there it’s like a tingly crawling feeling and I can’t sleep. I have to take multiple showers just to get thorough the night. It seems to subside during the day. I no longer have health insurance, so I’m at a lost. I’ve been popping Benadryl like candy where ever I get a tight itchy throat and it helps. But my skin has been so badly scratched it looks horrible from my head to my toes just terrible skin. People think it’s all in my head that I can eat these foods and that the itch is just anxiety but the way I felt when I ate dairy, soy etc. my face would feel like it was on fire and my heart would beat so fast. Haven’t had that happen in a year since I stopped eating those items. I’m glad I came across these forums, as I’m tired of people thinking I’m attention seeking. If I could eat like I did before Covid I would if I could stop itching I would. This isn’t fun.
