As happy as I am when winter is finally over, I dread what the summer holds in store for me. Other than my allergy to pregnancy (yes I am allergic to it - my belly swells up & my face breaks out! *lol*), I have no other known allergies.
We found out my mother's other daughter was allergic to penicillin after we had a fight with a German Shepard & the dog won. That girl was looking like the Elephant Man within a matter of moments. It didn't effect me.
My BFF found out she was allergic to sulfur after she was given the drug during some course of treatment. Her throat closed up & she had to be rushed to the ER. Luckily she was only 10 blocks from the hospital.
What, if anything, are you allergic to & how did you find out?
I've been allergic to codiene since I was a child. In my early 30s I was given pennicillian for tonsillitis, well after the 1st dose I got sicker than I was when I went to the dr. The next day I could not use my hands and my soles of my feet had swollen and I was in severe pain. The dr said I was lucky not to take anymore doses or I would have been in serious trouble. Thing is I was taking pennicillian since I was 12 for tonsillitis each winter and never had a problem. Needless to say I used a cane for 2 weeks because the swelling in my feet would not go down. It did something to the nerve endings. I will not touch that shit again.....it was a mess!
ReplyDeleteThe summer with the grass and the flowers are the WORSE for me. I'm constantly sneezing and I go through a box of tissues a DAY. Other than that, I'm fine.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom is allergic to roses and Iodine. That's why she can't eat seafood.
Chocolate which is good and bad. LOL Other than that I'm not allergic to anything. Chocolate allergies are rare, but seems mine developed late in life. Because as a child I ate chocolate like there was no tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAs of now, I never had any allergies....
