I have the same thing… allergic attacks for no apparent reason. The test for this is a CUI or Chronic Uticaria Index. The ‘disease’ is an auto immune thing and since they don’t know why I over produce histamines when my body thinks it’s being attacked, I take no meds other than carry the epi pen. I’ve been told to avoid alcohol, hot rooms, crowds, and the biggie…. STRESS!!!! The test is fairly new. I had it a year ago and it was relatively new then. What it boils down to is that I’m allergic to myself…. sometimes.

An allergist should be aware of this test…. good luck!!

My two cents is to create a traveling medical record. I did that for my mom and it was to reduce the number of repeat tests as well as provide a tracking of results over time. It did help and the new doctors would “borrow” the book to look over. I didn’t have to rely on my mom’s memory (which was declining) on her health issues. The record can be organized by a timeline or by subject. And keep a copy of your dr’s names, numbers, insurance cards, medicines you take, medical history, etc.

Create it so that if you couldn’t speak for yourself, the traveling record can.

You do have a right to your medical records – you may have to pay for printing, but get the ER summary, the lab results, etc.

Another point is that you may be allergic to something that you have not reacted to in the past. I had a reaction to sulfa drugs and mom had a reaction to tetracycline when we both had those drugs for many years without a problem. On the other hand, we also grow out of allergies.

Glad you are ok – take care of yourself – you have many traveling companions. Just let us know and we’ll take care of ya!
