Hi, I’m Michelle and I have allergies. Indoor, outdoor, food, drug (prescription), and chemical allergies; but somehow, I am making it through life and enjoying it as I do. I would like to share my experiences with you. Maybe my experiences will give you hope, make you laugh, make you wonder, but ultimately, I hope they help you; help you grow and learn to enjoy life too.

I have a wide range of food allergies. I have oral allergy syndrome (OAS) to apples and bananas, and I am allergic to caffeine, corn, eggs, some fish (Swai, and Tilapia), gluten, milk, mushrooms, peanuts, pineapple, potatoes, soy, tree nuts, wheat, and yeast.  I will not though, discuss food allergy on this blog, because I have another one dedicated to that topic (http://skinnygirlbigplate.blogspot.com).

I have a long list of indoor/outdoor allergies too: cats, dog saliva, dust, grass, mold, pollen, ragweed, and tree pollen. I don’t mind being allergic to cats, I like dogs best anyway (and I am glad to only need to avoid being licked by one), but everything else cannot be avoided like a cat can be, it needs to be maintained. I have drug allergies also: Zyrtec,  and prednisone are just two out of a list of drugs that I cannot be prescribed (they both contain milk as a part of their ingredients! In addition, if you have peanut allergy avoid using Elidel). Well, that’s a list of my allergies, what kind of allergies do you have? Leave a comment below!
