Right, to make this a thread, tell me what you’ve got and how you deal with it. Special diet? Anti-histos? Live in a bubble? Hit me!
Over the last two months I’ve become covered in an itchy flakey rash that’s been getting worse. I thought it was dust mites based on internet research, so I’ve bought loads of anti-allergy bedding, have sprayed a mite-killer over everything and have started washing everything at higher temperatures. I’ve even bought a dehumidifier to help keep the damp down.
Despite all that, things actually got a bit worse last night as my throat started to feel tight. Like it was closing. It’s not restricting my breathing or anything and I managed to get some sleep.
I called 111 this morning and they’re like “go and see your doctor asap”. I’ve got a three hour meeting about to start, so when that’s done I’ll check the hilarious and informative replies in this thread as I try and make an appointment.
Any idea what else could be causing it pals?
I’ve not changed wash powder or anything and I’d been in my new flat for about six weeks when it started.
Seriously though a similar thing happened to me when I lived in a pretty sketchy flat and i’m pretty sure it was dust related. It settled down after a while but i’m still a bit sensitive to it.
tbf this is could be psychosomatic. I get this all of the time cause I had a few allergic reactions to odd stuff recently and I have serious anxiety about my throat closing up which in turn makes it feel worse. Are you particularly anxious at the moment? Could it be globus sensation?
Probably the standard an evil troll stealing bits of your soul while you sleep.
On a serious note, could it be a sudden reaction/intolerance to any sort of food? The TV has a dairy allergy and if she eats anything dairy based it makes her itchy/rash appears.
