Hi guys.
I'm in such a funk. I had to call in sick today because I'm having an AWFUL allergic reaction to something. My lips look like I got collagen injections, my cheeks are chipmunky, my tongue is so swollen I can't really talk... I'm a MESS!
I've never had allergies before. But in 1999, I first discovered I'm allergic to envelope glue. (Yes, like the Seinfeld episode.) It's gone downhill from there as far as things reacting this way.
Sooo... I've met with my PCP this morning and he sent me home with Allegra and a referral to an allergist. I've got a 2pm appointment with the allergist to do a panel. (Is that right?)
I'm both excited to maybe find out WHAT it is that I'm allergic to because I just can't pinpoint it, but I'm worried that they're going to tell me I'm allergic to CHOCOLATE or something. And lemme tell you, that would be the end of the world, as far as I'm concerned. I'm also afraid because I HAVE narrowed it down a bit, and it's possible it's a wheat allergy.
I truly feel like a bullie.
Wheats, grains...
At least I can tell Grover that he didn't go thru allergy testing alone now.
Soooo... I'll be in and out!

Feel better Julia!
Hope the allergist has the answers! -ann
Geez Julia
that sounds awful. Hope you are feeling better soon and I will keep my fingers crossed that it's not chocolate. Good luck.
Awww... thanks Linz!
I'd love to see it. That pic is (obviously) one of my favorites.

Hope the allergy is to something
That you can easily live without. Chocolate would be hard.
So .....

Both have AMAZING lips!!
Re: I feel like Grover - ALLERGIC!
Well as long as it isn't Grover that you are allergic to...hee hee. Hope they found out what it is!
Feel better soon!!
and I hope it isn't Chocolate that is putting you through all this. That would be terrible!!!!
Sue

you know Julia some peole pay huge amounts of money to look like
seriously feel better and it will be good to know what to avoid..and I think there is a law about telling any female they are allergic to chocolate ...something about it not being safe or approved by the insurance companies as safe policy..due to sudden maiming of the docs....grin...good luck..and get well..ce
That stinks....
Well, at least you will find out and maybe feel better and know what not to eat! Good luck and feel better...
Thinking happy thoughts that you get better....
Allergies
