We arrived at my mother-in-law’s last night and it was great. Our oldest nephew, on my husband’s side, was over for the night. His sister was also came over to help decorate for his birthday party. Sesame Street themed and turning three. How exciting!
We were decorating and once everyone left we got ready for bed. It was at that point I started to get itchy and developed hives. I couldn’t understand why, but the itching was driving me bonkers! Scratch, scratch, scratch and my husband started to get concerned. I also had a bit of a red throat when I looked. We started to list off things I ate, but it was nothing out of the ordinary, and then I thought maybe the detergent, don’t know. My husband also thinks it could have been a trigger from my stress and anxiety, which could be a possibility. The itching subsided a bit but then started up again really bad in the middle of the night.
I let my husband know that he might need to go to the pharmacy for an antihistamine, and he did once it was morning. It helped quite a bit but man, it made me super sleepy. In the evening I had another reaction, after I was hit with a balloon. His family suggested My it may be a latex allergy, however I am not so sure.
Needless to say, I dont know what is going on but I need to figure it out. I’m going to have to do some serious digging and even tracking reactions to foods. I suppose it’s a blessing and a curse because ultimately it is just another step and reason to get my health in check.
I really hope Valeria doesn’t develop any allergies to anything. Do your kids have any allergies? How did you find out? Or if they aren’t eating food yet, are you worried of any potential allergies? Or have you ever had a random allergic reaction you couldnt figure out?
I’m going to end it here since the Benadryl is hitting me hard, so off to bed for Valeria, daddy and mommy.
Ciao!
