I didn't know you struggle with a...Wow, Linda. I didn't know you struggle with all that. It sucks, i know. But i also feel almost guilty, complaining, when i know folks who struggle with so much more. Besides you, i have a couple of friends who are greatly limited by Chronic Fatigue and Immune Deficiency Syndrome, plus multiple chemical sensitivities, plus food limitations. I sometimes feel like i'm complaining of a splinter to someone who lost a hand (they don't make me feel that way, but i think it sometimes, knowing i have a lot more freedom). <br /><br />Until the Benadryl, i've been fortunate not to need meds for some time now. Having regular CranioSacral work has made such a difference to the way i experience migraines! I know that part of that is the migraines i experience stem from a childhood accident, so i don't know if it would work for everyone. <br /><br />I'm sorry you have so much to avoid. It certainly makes life in our culture harder.<br /><br />Hi CD. :) I wondered what happened to that lemon. :p I had gotten a lot of use from it, hope it didn't make a mess. <br /><br />If you'd come down with flu, i'd wonder if i caused it, but allergies are not suppose to be contagious! Hope you are feeling better. :)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-72900200577039444012011-05-13T20:43:23.596-07:002011-05-13T20:43:23.596-07:00Glad you are a bit better.

How weird is this, but yesterday, about 5:45 pm I was in Rancho getting ready to drive to see my godson in a musical at his school, when my head started aching, I started sneezing, and my nose starting running -- major allergy attack. Didn't make it to the show, had to go home and sleep it off!<br />FYI - found your lemon in my car -- it was there for two days in the heat so it was history. Sorry!<br />CDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-73551076900912385952011-05-13T15:41:04.670-07:002011-05-13T15:41:04.670-07:00I am allergic to sulfa drugs. I have chemical all...I am allergic to sulfa drugs. I have chemical allergies and sensitivities...and don't do well with food additives, like MSG....and colorings.<br /><br />I have migraines, but don't take pain pills. So I take chelated magnesium when I feel one coming on and sometimes it helps a bit, but not if I wake up with a bad one. I also take a B-complex.<br /><br />I am allergic to mold and trees and grasses, and ragweed etc. I can't eat melons in ragweed season.<br /><br />I am allergice to eggs and(anything baked with them) poultry, and avocados, and nuts and peanuts.<br /><br />The wind brings on a headache and so do rainy days...and very hot days too. They trigger the allergies and it goes into a mograine. I have a bad headache today and it has been rainy and windy yesterday and today.<br /><br />My husband's family must think I am weird cuz I have gotten deathly ill the last two times we stayed with them. I throw up with my bad headaches, and I am worse in that area of Nebraska where they live for some reason. I take my own food or buy it and make it there...because people just don't understand and things get cross contaminated.<br /><br />There are even more things that trigger my attacks. I have had anaphlactic shock and been taken to the hospital with it. I carry an epi pen...but have never used it, because I am so careful to not eat things I am unsure about. I had no idea the epi-pen was preserved with sulfites! Yikes.<br /><br />Life is hard for people like us Kathryn.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751356958497450109noreply@blogger.com
