The Rant of Our Discontent

I'm literally allergic or have a severe sensitivity to everything. Corn, wheat, soy, milk, eggs, nuts, tomato, and those are just the big things. I'm supposed to avoid can foods, frozen and fresh as they contain a mold that I'm highly allergic too. I can't have things that are fermented or meat that is older then 24 hours as mold and bacteria start to develop that I'm very much allergic too. 

 

Then I am told I need to avoid grains, and all these other little things that are on foods. Fresh foods also contain pollen inside the fruit or vegetable that i'm allergic to, so I should avoid that too.  

 

I looked at the doctor like he had two heads, because what the heck am I left with? This is so messed up, but the more I ignore it the sicker I'm getting. Some of these food allergies also cause me to have mild asthma attacks. 

 

I'm a walking mess, the only time I felt good was when I fast for a week or the doctor shuts down my immune system. That can't be down often but man do I feel like a different person. 

 

 

that is one big list!

 

what CAN you eat, then indeed? that's incredibly frustrating, you are literally left with a few things and even those that you ''can'' eat contain traces of the things you can't. I've bene seeing a documentary on Netflix called rotten and there's an episode talking about peanut allergy, it seems that allergies have indeed increased significantly. 

I am truly sorry this is the case for you. I hope there is some form of treatment or something you can do to at least control it. You can't fast for life!

Thank you, some days are worse then others. I do know wheat and corn are true allergies and boy do they mess me up. Sadly they are my biggest addiction too. 

It is a huge list. I thought the doctor was full of it when he first showed me.  

Meat is something I can eat if it's prepared and processed right. 

I definitely cam't fast for long.

Happy birthday Nola, hope baby stays put until his eviction date. 

Thanks!  My dad was born on his mother's birthday, which incidentally is this one's due date (although not delivery date).   I definitely don't want another NICU baby, so I'm hoping we get 3 more weeks of baking.

My oldest was born 7 weeks early on my birthday, and the youngest was also born 7 weeks early, on his Father's birthday. Extra baking would have been good, it's hard to leave them behind at discharge. Fingers crossed!

1.  I've actually tried to figure out what foods are a true allergy and what ones are in tolerances.

2.  Sadly I have so many It's next to impossible to figure out. 

Many.  hope baby stays put until his eviction date. 

1.  You need a GOOD allergist, si D ma'am.

2.  You know that you can eat chicken, so start eating them, ingest now ma'am!

Many.

1.  I'm already taking ibuprofen at night

2.  thank you for the aspirin tip, I didn't know that! I will start doing so.

1.  Smart D2 ma'am!  Smart, SMART D2 ma'am!

2.  Also great for heart health, si D2 ma'am.  Take enteric-coated aspirin or have a little food in your stomach.

Fascinating article about how aspirin was proven to be protective against heart attacks, etc., see man:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1894700/pdf/20070600s00010p179.pdf

 

Apparently researched and written by a couple of college kids, or recent graduates, research man.

Not necessary to fully understand the scientific stuff in order to appreciate the article, no man.

Find a GOOD allergist, D ma'am, and spare no expense, no ma'am.

We were preparing to leave the POTS office at around the usual time, weekly sales quota again easily achieved man.

Right then, a gigantic -- oj nie, gargantuan -- order came in, do not ignore man.

An entire medium-sized country wants to enter the Many'th century by upgrading its existing toilet seats to our POTS, brilliant man.

-- They will replace all seats in all governmental buildings, priority man.

-- They will bribe and silence key members of the opposition party by gifting them with POTSs, shrewd move man.

-- They will extract donations from key wealth-holders after gifting them with POTSs, good investment man.

-- They will engender populism by distributing POTSs to the poor, the deaf & dumb, the halt, and the lame, good P.R. man.

We commended the Finance Minister on his wisdom and insisted on full payment in advance (in gold), $i man.

We were told that the check is in the mail, yeah right man.

We told him to stop payment and to ship us (in gold) the full amount via DHL or other carrier, not born yesterday man.

Tracking number received, delivery early next week man.

Life is grand, whee man.

We did not return to the casa till Many p.m., no nap man.

Something just exploded downstairs, split-earing boom man.

We hope that it was one of Mini-B.'s birthday balloons, arranged early by Mrs. T-B. she man.

If cat did it, she's probably still stuck by her claws to the ceiling, terrified miu man.

Mrs. T-B. is sound asleep in Mini-B.'s room and therefore did not go aysheep regarding the noise, zzz she man.

[TBoneTX 45,312]

Mini-B. borrowed our Office Despot stamp-pad & date-stamper, just like when he was 2 years old man.

He wants one of each so that he can stamp dates on his homework and craft projects, sweet wee man.

We shall buy him those if we can leave the casa tomorrow morn, up to Mrs. T-B.'s stress level man.

We think that we have accumulated Many (2x2x2x2x2+2+2) cents in Office Despot frequent-shopper awards, windfall man.

[TBoneTX 45,312]

Where is Steveklar, uncharacteristic absence man?

Hopefully didn't get thrown away by anybody, no man.

[TBoneTX 45,312]

De-dish (again!), cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', stingy-with-+1-inventory babes with Fort-Knox-ensconced +1 inventories!
