hey Joel,thanks for the headsup and the advices.I feel a little relief right now since I was beginning to think that I'm the only one and I'm crazy or something.No,I dont have any pets but I also know I'm not allergic to animals,well I hope.What would you call this "condition" that we have?And would you happen to know if theres some way to cure this?Lastly in my physical education classes throught out high school,I didnt sweat like crazy and I dont have any odour as result unlike my classmates.Same for you?well frankly again I dont know if theres any connection but it was on my mind because loads of classmates were dripping like storm but I barely have any.Again thanks alot and really appreciate all the help you contributed to me.

hi again bob411. I think the one difference between us is the age this started happening. Im 31 and just started about 2 years ago, but have had the red ear thing for longer than that. The way you describe the red patches is exactly the same for me too! This is the histamine that i was talking about. It causes your blood vessels to dialate, which make the skin turn red. May explain something about the red ears too. I did experience some joint pains but i think that most people do at some point. I still do sometimes get pain in my thigh. On the exercise subject...I know that fainting feeling your talking about. You need to be very careful when you get to this point in your exercise! When histamine is released into your body, your blood pressure drops this explains the fainting feeling. Make sure that you stop before you get to this point. Do some reading on anaphylaxis and anaphylaxis shock. This may begin to look clearer to you what we are dealing with. Do you have any cats or animals?
