enbrel and latex allergy

I thought it might be a allergy to latex the derm thought it was psoriasis and started me on Enbrel 50mg 2 times a week 12 hours after the 2nd dose i suddenly noticed my rt arm elbow down was numb then slowly it progressed over 20 min to my whole rt side of my body. MRI/MRA are clear. I have not changed any in 8 weeks no more Enbrel. Now my rt arm is contracting in. Please any help would be appreciated.

There is also an interesting association of unique food allergy among persons allergic to latex. People allergic to latex are frequently allergic to bananas and sometimes other foods like kiwi, papaya, avocados and apricots. This association with food allergy is real, but the cause of the relationship is uncertain. Ref:http://www.medicinenet.com/latex_allergy/page2.htm.

Not all condoms will cause allergy. An allergy text can detect the cause for allergy and can also detect latex allergy. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

If you've always used protection then it's probably not an allergy to the latex it's most likely an allergy to the lubricant on the condom. Go to your gyno and explain the situation and he/she will get you some cream to put on it for now wear cotton panties to keep the area dry and feeling better. I know this sounds crazy but put some diaper rash cream on it to see if it clears up.

Hi, You need to definitely speak with your Dr before having the procedure done and then when you are there REMIND EVERY SINGLE PERSON you come in contact with about your latex allergy. I don't know about the dye used but ask and ask again and double and triple ask and even if they all say it's ok, see if your Dr will prescribe a steroid to be given before the procedure if any type of dye is used...they did this with my daughter who is anaphylactic to latex, yet is ok with shellfish ...

Thanks for the link to the allergy cross reactions page. I bookmarked this page for myself, too. And, I'll pass on this link to a good friend of mine who has the same problem that we both obviously share here.

There is something that is mentioned above that I certainly wish I'd known when dealing with his known allergy sources and deciding whether contact should be withdrawn totally. When my son stayed at a relatives with numerous dogs we weren't aware he was allergic to them at the time . Because of the sudden onset of the severity off his cat dog allergy he stopped going to where he had the contact.

Hello, First make an appointment with the dermatologist to confirm the latex allergy get what is called a patch test. Then if you do have a latex allergy go to the pharmacy.

I am an asthma patient, and after 10 years i am free from that. When i reached 20s restarted the allergy. asthma is not a problem but allergy with dust, cold etc, my bridge of nose is sometimes not straight and tap tap sound from the back of ears. Now i am taking Homeo medicine.

So what type of shoes do you wear? I have a rubber/latex allergy and have a heck of a time finding shoes that will keep me warm and or dry during the winter. any suggestions would help... Thanks!

latex is one of the simplest tape allergies to avoid as several tapes are latex-free. for instance, Dynarex options a latex-free patch, paper, and fabric tape. Andover options a latex-free cohesive wrap and all 3M medical tapes are latex-free. • Allergies to the tape: this implies that you simply are allergic to one thing in the material of the tape. To avoid this kind of allergies, several makers build hypoallergenic tapes.

I have a latex allergy... and HSV2... and there is a super-huge difference. Latex allergy (for me at least) is itchy VERY itchy, and leaves me looking swollen and red. HSV outbreaks are very different for everyone, but usually start as muscle pain and soreness, then maybe a headache, then you notice some red/tingling sore/s.

I have a latex allergy. It is the most horrible burning sensation after I have sex using a latex condom. It also makes me feel like I have a UTI the day after. Ugh. Whenever I go to the hospital (not often) they have to mark me with a big sign that says "latex allergy" so that no one will use those gloves on me. I wish it on no one. You may wanna tell your friend that they have non-latex condoms out there.

Another possibility, is if you use latex condoms, you could have an allergy to the latex in them! A friend of mine randomly became allergic to latex with no warning.

Rash is listed as infrequent but it is there. However, your issue is with latex specifically. A latex allergy in and of itself is not common with less than 1% of the general population having a latex allergy. It's really important for you to know and inform others of this allergy as about 50% of all medical devices contain latex! Repatha specifically says to not use if you have a latex allergy but Praluent does not.

Other causes may include frequent hand washing and drying, contact with cleaners and sanitizers, and/or repeated exposure to powders present in some latex gloves. Symptoms generally appear gradually over several days, but exposure to strong irritants can produce more immediate reactions in some people. Symptoms include dry or scaly skin, redness, mild itching, and cracking.

1) Allergy to latex, because the red dots started appearing in 5-7 days after a protected sexual intercourse 2) This is due to masturbation 3) An std, although I don't have any symptoms like itchiness or pain Or is it something else? Please, help!

I should add that I have an allergy to latex and the insert states that I should not take it if I have a severe allergy to latex. I get hives in areas where they repeatedly touch me with latex gloves and I'm usually itchy for 3-5 days after a pap if they use latex gloves. They are not severe hives and usually go away any where from an hour to a day later.

I'm in the same vote. On enbrel and have developed hpv. Very tiny bumps if even noticeable at all, but its been spreading. Aldara only made my psoriasis and psa flare up. I guess the next thing is to stop enbrel till my hpv clears up? I am 29, male, non smoker. Enbrel is the only med I take.

Doctor, I would like information related to Enbrel and MS. I used Enbrel for less than one year. I now have demylination of the cervical spinal cord, both optic nerves, plaques in my brain, numbness in leg and balance problems. I am now fifty eight. Symtoms started at age fifty six with numbness in leg and balance problems. I have been told it looks "MSish." Questions: now that the new symptom of, the optic nerves being demlinated, is it MS?

So my bf and i had sex and im on the last day of my period. we used a condom and before when we had used them, we had gotten trojan ribbed and it cause burning, so we asumed it was the ribbing. we used regular trojan this time and when we were done my vagina was burning like crazy and it looks like its turned inside outside out or severly swollen. could this be a latex allergy?

t know whether my condition was the result of an infection, an allergic reaction, or something else, though my dentist admitted to having worn latex gloves. The swelling gradually moved up to my cheeks and under my eyes and my upper lip and cheeks were protruding. I wasn't running a fever, and I didn't have itching or redness.

Several ground glass opacities in my right lung showed up on a CT scan in July 2011. Enbrel was discontinued and coincidentally I took a regime of prednisone for an allergy problem - 60 mg for one week, then with a weekly taper. A repeat CT scan was performed in December 2011 and one ground glass opacity remained (15 mm), with a small focus of sold component within the ground glass density. A percutaneous biopsy was performed to rule out bronchogenic carcinoma.
