Ack, that chart made my head explode!
I was a little surprised that edema (especially facial edema, one of my main symptoms) wasn't on there. Is that related to leukotriene rather than histamine?
ETA: I was really glad to see tachycardia and arrhythmias on that chart! My allergist is well aware of tachycardia in the sense of an increased heart rate that stays within an essentially normal range (although most doctors will roll up their eyes at that one), but I've NEVER had anyone believe that my SVTs correlate with my food allergies. I've been 100% sure of that one for a couple of decades now.
NYB, glad you're feeling better, and hope that avoiding crab takes care of it in the future (although I agree, it would suck if I couldn't eat crab).
