I survived an allergic reaction in Jan '05 Spent a week in ICU.  Now asthma and and a host of other problems have plagued me.  I had none of these problems before this allergic reaction occured.  I am 58 years old.  Cannot work or play anymore because of these ongoing problems..Many have said it is all in my head.  Are they right?
