It all started last week. I went it for what I thought would be harmless allergy testing. After 47 shots in my arm and a lot of Ooughs and Ahhs from the allergy chick I found out my results.



The allergy chick said (and I quote) "You're allergic to the world" (unquote)! As she looked at me with her best "bless your heart" face. She said the reason you've had hives the last seven months isn't b/c of the medicine like your mom said, but b/c you're on allergy overload. (Allergy chick didn't say the part about the medicine, but I just want to tell mom once again....it wasn't the meds!)



Oh and no beer or pizza...she says.

WHAT???? I was mentally grabbing the allergy chick's arm and twisting it until she said "Uncle." This girl just broke my heart and my spirit!



As she reads off the list, "No cheese" (tear), no nuts ( peaut butter?) "no mushrooms" (tears), no condiments of any kind, (WHAT no ketchup or mayo? BS more tears). So as she is naming off the things I CAN'T have, I'm mentally taking notes of things I can have. Which I think its odd that they list things you can't have, but don't tell you what you can have.



Anyway I degress. While taking mental inventory of what I can't eat, I figured out what I can eat...drum roll please....Chicken and grapes.
