Hi Kelly,

I have a cat and i also have allergies, i have severe reactions with the same symptoms as what you have, but i react to mould, yeast and dust mites! The bumps you are describing (hives) i got when i put on an item of clothing that hadn't been worn for a while (lying in my cupboard for a season etc) and that was due to storage mites!

Do your bumps crop up and drive you insane with itch and then subside after a little while? Maybe when you leave the house or get away from your kitten? That's exactly like mine and as soon as i removed that item of clothing, after 10 minutes they would subside...

I think you should see an allergist/immunologist ASAP!! You're defn having a bad reaction to something, and you should get some tests done with an immunologist and he/she can devise a treatment plan tailored to what you're allergic to.

I'm currently on "drops" that i put under my tongue every night to stop my reactions to everything i''m allergic to, i've had eczema from head to toe for the past 8 years and for the first time i am symptom free!!

I can put you in touch with my Doctor if you like and he could refer you to one in Melbourne?! He's being doing it for 30 years and he's really good!

I hope that helps and you're feeling a bit better...

Sorry for rambling on!
