ALLERGIC to EVERYTHING?!
Question: I AM ALLERGIC TO ALL DEODRANTS, HAND BAR SOAPS, LAUNDRY DETERGENT AND CLEANING LIQUIDS FOR HOUSEHOLD.
YOU NAME IT, I PROBABLY HAVE TRIED IT, BUT PLEASE NAME EVERYTHING AGAIN JUST IN CASE I MISSED SOMETHING.
ALMAY
DOVE
ARMOR HAMMER
BAKING SODA
DREFT
DEODRANT STONE
I EVEN HAD A BOSS TELL ME TO WEAR ODOR EATER UNDER MY ARMS BECAUSE THE ALLERGIC REACTION CAUSES SOME NASTY STUFF, LIKE A YEAST INFECTION.
BEEN TO A DOCTOR, DERMATOLOGIST WITH NO REAL SUCCESS. I BLAME THE FIBROMYALGIA.

You may want to try Vanicream products for soap. I am allergic to everything you are and am OK with it (vanicream I mean--I'm not OK with my allergies!). I use Free and Clear shampoo and conditioner. I can use Kiss My Face olive oil soap--if you aren't allergic to olives I bet you can too--it's just olive oil. I can use Almay hypoallergenic deoderant--you can get it at Wal-Mart. I use All Free and Clear for laundry. A company I've had to order from a lot is http://www.alerg.com They've got hair gel and hair spray I can use, too. I'm not associated with them at all, I just like them (and they deliver fast).
I bet it is your fibromyalgia. I've got ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's, interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia and some other diseases and I am just allergic to everything--foods, drugs, fragrance, dyes, inhaled stuff. I never used to be--it wasn't until my autoimmune stuff really picked up a few years ago. I think our immune systems are on crack and just going nuts. I can't even use make up anymore.
Have you gone to an allergist? If you're having a heckuva time they can give you antihistamines or even steriods for a while. I've had to do that. I take Zyrtec over the counter now, tho.
Maybe you can use Aubrey organics products. I have to use All free and clear to wash my clothes and for some reason the only soap I can use( for private area )is Irish spring because of yeast infections like you said. Try some all natural organic products from a natural store where they sell vitamins and things like that.
could be-I have FMS and every year-i am allergic to more-
it causes havic with your immune system....
have you looked into some sort of all natural product-maybe some place like tarder joes or whole foods would have an alternative-
look intoplaces that sell environmentally firendly -eco products..
oh dear, that is bad.
I only use Sunlight bar soap because the others always give me a rash, and you could try a tea tree oil based deodorant because that will kill yeasts as well.
Dove I can't use because it probably contains lanolin, a very common allergy causing substance.
You may have to use aqueous cream to wash, I also like Pinetarsol oil.
Add a little white vinegar to the last rinse of your laundry to neutralise the detergent, and rinse an extra time, too, that should help.
follow up with another allergist for more advice. get counseling.
I am allergic to "the environment." So, I guess that about covers it.
