Eating right is a generally good thing. For me, it’s becoming more and more important to pay attention to. I had my first round of allergy tests on Monday, the first round since I gave up on allergists about ten years ago.

I found out a lot…like my allergies are inflaming my body so much that it’s been along it difficult to breath. My nose has swollen 70%, my ears are swollen and after a 15 minute breathing treatment, my lung volume has increased by 28%.

I swear I have PTSD from the first few years of having allergies (they started when I was 15) and the ordeal I had with doctors, ambulance rides, hospitals mixing up files, and anxiety attacks - one which led to me shooting my epi-pen backwards through my thumb! Now, I have found a doctor that believe he can give me long-term treatments for my allergies ✨

I almost cried when he told me that he can fix just another everything with my health right now. Ten years ago, the doctors gave me epi pens and told me to avoid my allergens. No shiz nit Doc! I don’t want to die by asphyxiation! But my allergies started suddenly and they kept growing and expanding. I refused to live in a box and I became annoyed with them saying they didn’t know what my latest reaction was to and they blamed it on how difficult the science of allergies was 🙄

Anyways, I have anaphylaxis allergies, exercise induced allergies, bad allergies and mild allergies. So it all sucks. But the first thing we will actually CURE is the Chronic Spontaneous Uticaria I’ve been having 🤗

I have my food test on Friday and soon to come will be a blood panel to make sure I can no immuno therapy. And please please pray and fingers crossed that my insurance covers it because I cannot imagine how it feel to go hiking and be able to breath again at the same time. Or be able to go to a restaurant and not have a stomach ache afterwards. Or take a shower somewhere other than my else and not get hives or rash from the fragrances, shampoos, soaps or even towels. Oh the dreams 😍
