Well over the last two days i have had two hectic, and not fun days, of allergy testing. I am not one for needles, but i survived and really didn't cry ;-) I did whimper a little though.
The Doctor told me he would send me a more in depth list later, but here are my food allergies:
CHOCOLATE
COFFEE
CORN
watermelon
strawberry
rasberry
blackberry
lemon
lime
peanut
pork
Cola--Aka, no coke or pepsi (but thankfully i can have Dr. Pepper)
mushrooms (which i'm fine with)
mustard
What they told me to do is get off of all those things for two to three months and then, like you would do to a baby's diet, slowly add them back one at a time and see what i react to. So, three months without chocolate, coffee, corn, or peanuts :( Well, life goes on i suppose.
Ok, now here are some of my stories for those readers who have time and want to read.
I went in today and they had a little boy there (he was there yesterday with me too) and he asked "why are we here again? can we go home?" Poor kid. Then I tried the same, it didn't work. Then, he screamed the whole time, and for those of you who don't know, i used to (and still sometimes am) that kid. Then when i came out to wait for the doctor, he was there again. He went back in asking his mom, "this is just to talk right, no more pokes?"
Hahahaha, i felt like that kid the whole time. He was about three, and i'm much older, but i wanted to say everything he was. It's amazing how certain fears never really leave us, they just lessen slowly.
Well, i may post more about this later but that's all for now!
OH boy!!! I don't think I could live with being allergic to corn... I have been living off of corn for past couple of weeks. lol
ReplyDeleteI hope after 3 months you are not allergic to any of these thing anymore. :)
Thanks friend! Yay, i love corn...always have. But between having your food allergies and mine. I'll keep mine. I'd like not to react as harshly though ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you get un-allergic to the important stuff (aka all the fruit, the chocolate/coke/coffee) VERY SOON!!!! Life without the 'c' foods would be rough. At least you can have milk, eggs, and wheat! Those are a pain to be allergic to!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm in the middle of math homework right now but I'll call you later when I can.:)
Sounds GREAT Leah! No rush on the phone call. But thanks for being my bud through all this :D You rock!
ReplyDeleteAw, poor you. :( No coffee...that should be illegal or something.
ReplyDeleteWell, hope you're able to start eating them again after however long. :D Life without coffee and chocolate would be a very sad fate.
So sorry about your allergies. I'm working on the 3 month "diet", so your not alone. :) At least your not allergic to bread!
ReplyDeleteGirl you totally need to post!
