Shrimp symptoms and conditions

I've been taking prescription Niaspan for about 2 1/2 months now and was warned by my doctor about the flushing. For the first month and a half all was fine but one night my wife and I were reading in bed when I suddenly felt like my face was on fire. My wife grew alarmed and said that I looked beet red. Within five minutes the feeling and red appearance had spread all over my body. We went over the day to see if I had done anything out of the ordinary and realized that I had eaten shrimp and clams for dinner at a Chinese buffet. I chalked it up to that. We shut off the light and went to sleep and when I woke up in the middle of the night to let the dog out I was back to normal. Last night was the second time now this has happened only this time I was sound asleep when it hit. I woke up suddenly to discover the same symptoms and it was painful to move even a finger. As soon as I moved ANYTHING I felt like I was being stung everywhere. My skin too was hot to the touch. I went on an agonizing walk to the bathroom to see what I looked like and I was fire-engine red from head to toe. Again I managed to go back to sleep but I still have some lingering effects of tingling even now as I write this. My wife told me this morning that I was being melodramatic. I told her she should try it and get back to me.

Firstly, there is hope! I have been off the evil Advair for 8 months now, I have my Ventolin at the ready but typically I use it one or twice a week...and when I do I hold it at arms length away and only inhale a tiny amount.

Okay a little rewind to the start of my recent problems. I went to an allergy doc since my asthma seemed to be getting worse, he did the test where they scratch your back with 70 or so allergens, from the reactions he determined what some of my trigger are. Turned out to be house dust mites, mold, grasses, cats, horses, shrimp etc. Then the idiot put me on Advair rather than dealing with the real issues.

After 2 years on this evil substance, my chest was so tight when I didn't take it, and generally my breathing was the worst it had been my whole life. I felt like there was something in my lungs that I just couldn't cough up...this gradually did subside. Long steamy showers helped me a little here.

So this is what I did.
Bought a copy of Reversing Asthma by Richard Firshein, a must read, he was a chronic asthmatic and reversed his own condition, you must buy this book.

Armed with my known allergies, I cleaned up the house, bought the pillow covers that keep the dust mites out. I sprayed all the carpets and duvets with an anti-allergen spray. And of course avoided my other known triggers.

I bought a Microlife digital peak flow meter to map my progress.

On Richard Firshein's advice I take a whole host of daily supplements, cod liver oil, vitamin C, magnesium, beta carotene and so on.

I exercise 3+ times a week and I bought a PowerLung Lung Trainer to build up my breathing muscles (I haven't been using this a whole lot so far though).

I'm still working on finding my triggers, so I still have days that aren't as good. I think something I occasionally eat or drink is bothering me. Oh and I found being dehydrated seems to cause my breathing to go downhill.

All the best to you all.

Massive, massive hyperactivity that has not gone away in 12 hours. Even after a Benadryl and bottle of wine. Am very concerned, and will go back to ER tomorrow to evaluate. Was treated for a severe allergic reaction to shrimp. Any help here would be great. I want to make sure I'm fully treated for my reaction, but I do not want to take ANY more Prednisone.
