2. Not an allergic reaction
Tue Jan 22, 2013, 09:14 PM
Jan 2013

I've been tested for allergies twice, and every single test came back negative. I've been tested for liver and kidney and other internal abnormalities. I'm not at all sure what is causing them. I've added things to my diet, taken things out, avoided cold and warm temperatures when possible, and still nothing. They started suddenly a little over a year ago and I haven't been able to figure it out. Grrrrr. It's been frustrating trying to solve this puzzle.
