Day 80 – Allergies? – 37th Year Photo/Moi Challenge

I never thought I’d have allergies. Until my appointment yesterday. Yesterday I found out my allergies like to mess with my head with sinus issues and a scratchy throat oh and tummy issues. Thankful it’s not hives & I don’t know breathing issues.

So…my list of things I’m allergic too but didn’t expect were:

  • Most trees, weeds, and grasses. (Makes sense when my nose is a running mess after I run outside)
  • Nuts (Doc says better to stay away from all since all on the test showed I was allergic. Low levels but I’m going to try and get protein elsewhere)
  • Beef/Veal (won’t be here. No more beef which helps me see another reason why I don’t like it…it doesn’t like me either)
  • Shrimp/Crab/Salmon (Good thing I don’t eat these anyhow. I’m SO NOT A FISH FAN!)
  • Celery (Didn’t know you could be and this made me quite sad)
  • Egg Whites (Again a low one so….)
  • Alice (My kitty cat)
  • Horses
  • Dust (Thank God I don’t have a cleaning lady or maybe I need to have OCD and clean a ton more)

The plan of action is Immunity Therapy which could take six to eighteen months to complete. I don’t want to live on Nasonex and Claritin forever.

Allergy pillows and a hepa filter should also help.

Time to be even more aware of what I eat….This also means I get to create new fun meals and desserts! Yeah!!!! I win!
