I realise this is a bit unique so no worries if no feedback!
I've been on Lenzetto since April 2021. In Dec 2021 I started suffering with extremely itchy eyes, for which even the strongest prescription antihistamines did nothing. It would last for about 2 weeks and then dissipate. This happened periodically throughout Dec-April, and then straight after Covid in April it got much worse, with the addition of asthma type symptoms. It resolved again briefly after about two weeks, but then at the end of May I started suffering with angioedema (where parts of your face swell up) and for the last two weeks I've had this plus severe urticaria (hives). I'm covered head to toe in angry, red, itchy weals and I've been signed off work for at least 3 weeks. The steroids I've been prescribed only work for a few hours.
I had allergy blood tests done in April (food and typical external allergens) that showed up nothing and I've got another set of skin **** ones next Friday. I've been told by my specialist that when an allergy is this severe it is almost always either a food allergy or drug allergy - something internal.
I'm super confused as I haven't changed either my medication or my diet since it all started in December, so whatever it is has suddenly developed. In terms of drugs I've been long term on two antidepressants for years, and aside from this the only other thing it could be is my Lenzetto. I was just curious to see if anyone had ever had an allergic reaction to one form of HRT and been fine with another? I suspect I'll need to start eliminating things out if the skin **** tests show up nothing, and the thought of going through the rigmarole of changing up my HRT is a bit daunting as I finally feel stable on my dose of 4 sprays.
If anyone has any tips or recommendations of where to potentially start with switching from Lenzetto and equivalent doses, I'd really love to hear of them! Or feedback on any similar allergy things!
