Okay... so it's not Peanut Allergies. I was still having symptoms 6 weeks later even after not eating peanuts, so my PCP sent me to an allergist / Immunologist and he said:
Chronic Autoimmune Urticaria and Angioedema
Another problem and 3 more meds to add to my personal pharmacy. At least today, when I went in, My face was a mess, so he could see exactly what was going on. I itch so bad, especially when I am warm or sweaty. My eyes, forehead and face is swollen again. Just one more thing to add to my list of problems. I also saw my rheumy today and he stopped the methotrexate and is starting me on Imuran instead. I finally hope that this drug will give me so relief with the joint pain but won't cause the nausea that the metho did. I know this will never end, but will it ever get better?
