BEE HIVES????

I wish!!!! hives as in ..... all over my face, ears, neck... Yes the bad health junk continues. So this is how the story goes, and no I am not posting pictures, because, you just wouldn't want to see them.

2 weeks ago, I go to a Allergist to find out what food allergy I have (which we suspect is some kind of pepper), 92 shots later, I am allergic to DOGS..haha we have 2, pretty much ever tree and plant Arizona has to offer, strawberries, apples, and bananas, my 3 favorite foods. Any way, They can't test for peppers or spices, so i have to get blood testing for that. So I have had 4 anaphylaxis episodes in 4 years, and they are getting worse and last longer, and come on faster. The doctor prescribes me an EPIPEN, which you shoot into your thigh right when you feel it coming on. Well I go to fill the prescription, but it is $ 120 dollars , so that is not happening. Fast forward a week, and we stop by our favorite friends house, while they are having a potluck, we scoop up some food and go out by the pool to eat. I take 2 bites of my chicken dish I picked out, and guess what happened next..........................................................
ALLERGY anaphylaxis SHOCK. Yep. SO that was saturday, I am still on benadryl, Cream, and pills only at night, because It knocks me out, that is a funny story for another time. My face is burning, and itchy and red and horrible, thus no pictures at this time. I am ready to just be a healthy family with no surgeries, ear infections, hives!, Sprained ankle, sore stomachs, sore and torn Achilles tendons...get me drift. I have a baby shower to go to on Saturday, and I am not going like this so it better clear up soon........

on a side note, David asked me how my face was feeling.. I responded, it's killing me and burning and itching, and he responded.....It's killing me too. at least we still have a little humor in all this madness!

Oh my goodness!!! Kary, I don't know what I would do if I were you. That really stink...I'm so sorry. I am totally impressed that you and David can at least laugh at it a little...you're a much better person than I am. I really hope you're allergies get all better for the baby shower...those are never fun to miss.

Yea, good luck with that. I have this wierd food allergy that when I eat melons my lips swell. Its really pretty, but since I love melons so much I just deal with it- because it isn't so bad. Good luck, hopefully you'll feel better soon!

Did you punch David? That is not funny. hee hee. Okay, maybe a little.
You are going to have to start eating like me. Plain, boring, and only made by me.
At least you're not allergic to your kids or your husband!!!

Go to www.naet.com to see if you can get some help with your allergies. It's an allergy clearing technique. I know there's a gal in Mesa who does it and knows her stuff. Anyway, once you are cleared you can be around the allergen with no worries, no drugs, no episodes, and etc. Good Luck!

OK, I won't complain when my seasonal allergies (barely starting again right now) are manageable with a cocktail of generic Claritin D and another regular claritin. I am so sorry! That has got to be so hard with the food allergies.

I had hives last summer before our move. Wade thought I was over reacting, so I drove myself to the ER at 3:00am! Needless to say, he felt different after seeing me walk out from the ER. I hope you are better soon, in all health areas!
