I itch the most in the morning time..I burn the most on my arms. my neck hurts alot and I was wondering what could all this weirdness be? do i have herpes or something? I looked up the symptoms I have and it related to herpes. My eyes burn alot too.but I don't have any outbreaks or anything and when I went ot the doctor i was told that with herpes there is no burning alot without outbreaks? I was so confused.they haven't gave me my results back yet. I do feel sick but only when my stomach hurts though...what should I do about this???i feel wierd and i'm worried but at the same time this could probably be nothing at all.....Please your advice

This really sounds like an allergic reaction, like you are eating or coming in contact with something. My husband is a heart doctor, and doesn't really know a lot about allergies, or herpes,and I certainly don't want to be giving you wrong advice. PLEASE contact your medical provider so you can find out what is going on. Make a list of everything you are eating, ect.

I would see an allergist for some testing though, and be sure your dr. does a whole blood panel to be sure everything is working properly! (liver etc)

reader, anonymous, writes (17 October 2008): I've never heard of a person being allergic to another person, so that's why I was wondering if he used some kind of lotion/aftershave on his face that he hadn't used before? More than likely I think its a coincidence you kissing him and that happening, I think it was something else you ate, or took. My husband is a doctor, and that was his advice to try really hard to remember if you ate anything new, different, were exposed to anything that would cause you to react like that. Because what you experienced was definetely an allergic reaction. Our son had that happen to him with a medicine.

reader, anonymous, writes (17 October 2008): It certainly sounds like you are having an allergic reaction. That could come from many things..did you anything new?taking any kind of medicine? Did your boyfriend wear a new aftershave?cologne? Try to think back and remember if she changed anything, tried anything new. I'm not a doctor, so I'm just guessing..I hope you are feeling better...
