Food & Itchiness - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Does anyone else get totally nauseated when eating sometimes??
Does anyone else get intensely itchy spots that get red & inflamed- appearing here & there(back of leg/face/anywhere else it pleases)????
Is a rhuematologist the best bet for proper diagnosis??
THANKS S.K.

I have had a rash that comes and goes whenever and wherever it wants most of the time I have had this - it is just another of the many symptoms that have added themselves to my life in the last few years.

Hi Mister

It sounds like you are having an reaction to something that you are eating. I had the same problem about 6 months ago, it seemed that everything that I ate I would break out in hives where I was really ichy, like little bites. I had it for about 4 months solid, it just about drove me crazy, then it just stopped again, never did fine out what it actually was. Try some antihistimines

Mister, that DOES sound like hives. They can be caused by food OR medication, even OTC meds. Also, you can have allergies from new cleaning or laundry products. Both my daughter and I have sensitivities. Common foods that cause hives are eggs,shellfish,chocolate,wheat products.

Well the good news is that I don't have hives! The bad news is that itchy/red spots are one of the symptoms I found on a list of FM symptoms. It's a checklist and there are like 64 symptoms listed-needless to say I checked almost all of them.
This is some crazy stuff......
