Severe Allergy reactions?

Why do i get swollen throats, feet, face and hands with allergy?
It always starts with an itch then the next thing i know the area starts to expand. The expantion happens even if i don't scratch the area. I and diagnosed with sinus and allergy problems. This is not a seasonal problem; though i find it to be more frequent in the summer.

I end up in the ER 3-4 times a year and it takes days for the

Anti-histamine i take to kick in. for those reactions that doesn't require a visit to ER it seems like i have them almost everyday. Sometimes i can link my reaction but most times i have no clue what could have caused the reaction. This is on days when i have had nothing to eat.

I've also had 3 Sinus surgeries.

I to suffer from itchy hands. I am allergic to shopping carts! I boil down stinging nettle untill it's in tincture form. about 20 min and let set to cool. There are properties in the nettle that counteract itching. I swear by it. You can also take it internally, although i don't know from experiance on that.I apply if as soon as that nasty itch starts. If I wait it might take a few applications, but it usually stops in 1 to 2 minutes. Atleast it is something you can try without any side affects ( unless you happen to be allergic nettle!). Good luck. Maybe if you could find the allergin you could aviod it but sometimes that takes awhile. Shopping carts aren't a usual allergin, but other peoples sweat makes me itch, so there's hope for you..
