Oh my goodness! Chocolate??? You've got to be kidding! Glad that is not me because I could possibly parish if I was allergic to chocolate! ;) Just kidding - I'm sorry that you have so many allergies. Are the allergy meds helping you?

It was there hardest thing ever to realize the horrible migraines where coming from the chocolate I'd eat!!! I love it! Hubby will eat something and at times I crave it - but most of the time I have no desire for it - migraines where that bad.
as for my allergies I think I'm just barely keeping them in control and no infection going on but just barely.

Aww Dixie that is just downright miserable! Maybe you should enshroud yourself in a plastic bubble to feel better eh? :) That is how I feel at times anyway! I have severe allergies too but they can't find out what I'm allergic to. There has to be a reason that I sniffle, sneeze, cough, get itchy watery eyes right? Question for you if you don't mind. When you had your allergy testing, did your Imuran interfer with the testing at all? I was on 6mp when I had mine done and no doctor can tell me if that is what interferred with the tests by giving me false negatives.

I agree Danni

Sherry - I had to go off all my meds for 2weeks / 14 days, but it ended up being more like three weeks, that was the second time I was tested the first I wasn't on any med.s a few years ago ago ago
kind of scary going off meds but I made it I think ha ha

Mary,

That just drives me crazy when people think your real illnesses are all in your head.  Of course you can be allergic to a lot of different things.  Sounds as if you just need to talk to us about it, then you won't have to get frustrated on top of being sick.

We understand you here and we will listen any time and give you feedback as best we can.

Hugs!

Carla
