I finaly found out what my main migraine trigger is, it is latexed based paint, thank God we found out after 27 years. But anyone have any advice, I was told to either move or live on pain killers and rescue shots. There is nothing anybody can do to help because it is a severe allergy. I have taken all of the allergie meds including the new Veramyst. That helps only in the spring and late summer. It doesn't help with the latex allergy. I dont want to live off of pain killers either but I dont know of anything else that I can do at the moment. I am fine as long as I stay in my living room, no paint it is done in wood, everywhere else there is paint. We cant afford to move right now, any kind of help or advice is helpful.
Yes I have had all of the preventitive meds to and either they dont work or I am allergic to.
Thanks for any kind of help

" Wow, I know you can only be allergic to a protein...your allergy intrigued me.

I am allergic to lettuce which has ONE protein in it...immagine a life with no ceasar salad! :(

I read this article about all the everyday items that have latex, it must be like walking through a mine field for you!

I was thinking maybe you'd have to plaster the walls or put up wood all over the place. Oh boy...that's a lotta work but I am sure it would be worth it. Mainly because moving could have other previously unknown problems. The grass is not always greener...

They said..."People who have food allergies, particularly allergies to bananas, chestnuts, kiwi fruit, avocado and tomato are at a higher risk for developing an allergy to latex."

I wish you well and hope to read what happens! "
