Well all the allergy tests are in and it seems I’m allergic to the world.  No seriously, I am allergic to 29 different things.  How is it possible for someone to live as many years as I have (no I’m not telling you my age but I’m not a spring chicken or an old goat either) with no allergy problems and all of a sudden be allergic to 29 things.  Well there are 4 other things that I did know about like hydrocodone (it’s for pain in the Opioid family of pain meds), hair removal creams, sensitive to Latex and since this other mess started, I found out that I’m allergic to decadron (I think that’s how you spell it but it’s a high powered steroid).

Get this, I’m allergic to 4 different grasses (there are 2 of them in our yard), 6 different trees (every tree in our yard but the Hickory trees it seems I’m allergic to), 3 different weeds, 3 different molds, 8 different critters (house fly?  Who ever heard of someone being allergic to a stinking house fly but I am & dog is not one of them, thank God), and 3 different foods (wheat, oysters (yuck) and turkey of all things).  I’m also allergic to histamine………..isn’t that what your body produces that makes you sneeze and sniffle to fight off an allergen? 

Anyway, now it’s about 100 shots and in 3 to 5 years I’ll be 95% cured!!!  How’s that for the cure will kill ya if it doesn’t make you better!!!!  No the cure will keep me from dying because I go anaphylactic and the shots will help that to stop (if the shots don’t throw me into one which we will see I didn’t Friday when I got my first allergy shot so then so far so good I guess).
