Hi,
I am 22 years old and have over the last two years been suffering from some progressively awful symptoms. I have previously (as a child) been told I am allergic to Formic Acid, which was found as I have an anaphylactic reaction to all types of ant bites. I also have severe reactions to immunisations which they think is because injections may be attenuated with formalin.
My symptoms over the last two years have been blackouts, absences (where I am sitting staring into space for up to 30 seconds), problems with my circulation, severe headaches, and recently, trouble with speaking sometimes (ie stuttering). I also get very vague and dizzy, shaky, have problems sleeping and severe fatigue, and have what looks like pimples all over my face and torso. I have had all tests to rule out epilepsy, cadiac causes and immunological causes and recently have been looking desperately for an answer. I am starting to add up the facts, and we started building a new house (which we now live in) exactly when this started. I have noticed that formaldehyde is a problem in building products, and new carpets, curtains, etc. Combined with the formalin allergy I am now wondering if I am having a severe reaction to formaldehyde? Can anyone else identify with this?? I am absolutely desperate, have been to so many specialists, and cant even go to work etc at the moment.
Any information would be great, thankyou!!
