EoE has caused food chronic sinus infections and bronchitis, allergies, (peanuts, mushrooms) environmental allergies and drug allergies. Allergy induced asthma also. Allergy symptoms are always worse on the right side of my head.

On April 7, 1997 my dad had 14" of his colon and 30 lymph nodes removed. The trauma of watching my dad go through that, sent me over the edge. That was when my stomach issues started. Since then, I have almost constant abdominal pain. The worst pains (burning, cramping pain) go across my abdomen, just under my ribs, and down my left side in between the ribs and hip bone. That happens about 2 hours after eating an offending food. Not sure what all of the offending foods are yet. The pain can last up to two weeks. When that pain isn't there, I usually have a dull ache behind and just under my left ribs.

Both are 30C.

26. Any other things which you think it make you unique from others ..
ANS: My temperament is mostly Sanguine and Sanguine Compulsive. I'm not a touchy-feely person, except with my kids. I enjoy social activities and helping others. I lead a ministry at my church that's all about caring for the sick and elderly. I like things to be neat and orderly, but with four sons, have been learning to relax a bit. I feel happy on sunny days and tired/moody on rainy days. I like adventure and new things. I happily encourage change. I believe every person deserves to be loved simply because they exist. I can be judgmental, though and probably hold myself and my family to too high of standards, yet am very forgiving of others actions.

Sorry it took me so long...

1. Just before menses.

2. Most of the time I do go back to sleep, but I would say that at least half of the time, I don't feel refreshed. Does that make sense?

I forget to mention that I also have dyshydrosis on my left foot. It's worse when I have to wear shoes all day or when it's hot outside. My feet also tend to get cold in the winter or when the weather is rainy, but they get hot at night. If my feet are cold, I feel cold (can't get warm). If my feet are hot, I get hot. Sometimes, I'll get so hot that I'll feel like I'm going to vomit (I don't).

I do have cold hands too.

How long should I do this before reporting (besides for the Nux Vom)? Three days with it all?
