Around 3 years ago, I had my first reaction: itchy/stinging bumps all over my body (mostly on my arms and legs), along with coughing and breathing issues.
Since then, I’ve had maybe 5 other reactions. I had one yesterday, the last one before that was over 18 months ago, so it felt really random and unexpected.
Each time, the reaction has gone away with Benadryl and/or an EpiPen.
What’s confusing is that every time it happened, I had eaten completely different things beforehand (grapes, strawberry cake, poutine, or sometimes seemingly nothing at all).
I saw an allergist and did a full allergy workup, but aside from mild allergies to dust and some trees, nothing significant came up.
The allergist basically said she has no clear explanation and thinks I may just have random allergic reactions from time to time.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
