Allergies

I am allergic to everything. On Tuesday I broke out in hives all over my face (not my eye lids), neck and hands, that mostly went away that night and the next day it was just my eye lids. I have no idea why. I had had a little too much cheese and ice cream over the weekend. I had Chinese for lunch on Monday, which is something I had ate around the time I had a much more severe case of hives that put me in the hospital when I was 7. (I have had the same Chinese food many times since then). Potatoes... We had fried potatoes with dinner Monday night and I ate some left overs for breakfast Tuesday more a few hours before the hives appeared. Some people claim potatoes do not have allergens. I myself thought it was crazy when I first thought about, but I have found some research saying it is rare but possible to be allergic to potatoes. Antihistamine knocks me out, so I slept for 2 days. It gets better Thursday morning I woke up with a touch of pneumonia from laying down too much. Some sitting in the bathroom with the shower on as hot as it will go seems to have cleared most of that up. So I feel much better today!

My Buddy... My Grandparents ripped up that last of the carpeting in our house that was in their room and replaced it with some nice vinyl planks. Buddy was of course there to help the entire time.


Maybe I am allergic to him :(

  1. That's hard! I wonder if you're allergic to MSG, which is in a lot of Chinese cooking. I have a lot of friends who are allergic and it causes similar reactions as well as major headaches!
