Hello
I developed hayfever a couple of years ago, I'm 56 and only on oestrogel now.
I've suddenly developed an allergy to a lot of foods. I tried on a new dress last December and came up in hives within a couple of minutes. Happened again a few months later. Then sporadic flare ups of red, itchy face and neck.
Ten days ago I had another flare up, then it continued slightly for the rest of the week. Then one on Saturday, one on Sunday, doctors Monday, A&E yesterday. I can't eat much except porridge without a reaction. I'm on three antihistamines a day and doc doing an urgent referral for me. It's so scary now I'm going to find the cash to pay for a consult. Thank you credit card.
I've read it may be a menopause thing. And my questions to you lovely people is: is this a thing? Has anyone else had it come on with menopause? What happened, did it get better?
Thank you very much
Kate
