Re: Allergic shiners

[Guest guest]

Now THAT's interesting! I had never thought about these bags and

dark half circles under my eyes as being caused by allergies! My

sister has it and told me it was genetic - she doesn't have allergies

although she IS prone to bronchitis. I've been searching around

cosmetic counters trying to find a way to cover it up the last couple

of weeks! Of course, many of us with severe allergies can react to

cosmetics, too! In my profession it's important to look good.

My IgE pre-treatment was 409 - on treatment and with flu it was 1300+

but it did not differentiate between bound and unbound. Although I

was on Xolair for 1-1/2 years I can't remember it affecting the bags

or dark lines one way or the other. Now my curiosity is really up -

would love to hear other people's response - what they noticed or

learned from their docs.
