Allergies - Blog Posts
Hey, welcome back guys.
This morning I had rashes on my ears and muscles were starting to ache. My hives have still not gone away. My Mom decided to take me into the clinic. I have Serum disease/sickness. My body has now started to attack my muscles.
So, my muscles hurt, I’m tired and I’m itchy.
This is all I have to report for today. See ya!

Having a food allergy is so wild because what do you MEAN I can sense that there is peanut in this food when it doesn't say that on the menu? Oh it was cooked in peanut oil? Well I can still taste it and I will have a reaction if I keep eating it so-
//ooc: i have so many allergy problems right now that it’s not even funny. But i still love spring. I’ll take a little fever dying in bed and having above 100 degree temps to see all the nature coming back to life
It's almost spring
I can't wait to see all the beautiful flowers
TW: VENT, SELF-HARM, SKIN ILLNESS
And now I will explain my story.
When I was a teenager, I suffered from self-harm (I could beat myself and cut myself). I couldn't get off it because of the tension, stress, and loneliness.
But I've been clean for 3-4 years now and I'm not addicted to SH.
In addition, I have atopic dermatitis, which has progressed terribly from the middle of the year to the present day. This disease is associated with stress, and I have frequent anxiety. So that's why it got back.
So what am I talking about? When I was a teenager, I was very weak, I was very emotional (in a bad way), and my outlet was to hurt myself. Now that I'm free of this, I'm faced with the fact that my anxiety hasn't gone away, it's just that now I'm overcoming a desire to do something bad to myself. My eternal relief of worries turns into the development of dermatitis.
I'm okay now. I'm being treated for atopic dermatitis. It's just that sometimes I involuntarily take myself back to the past... and it makes me feel better who I am now
I live with atopic dermatitis. There's no way to cure it, you can only compensate.
I remember when I believed in God, as a child, I wished for my birthday and new year's Eve only one thing - to be healthy, to stop being sick with it. But it was all in vain. When I was 14 years old, I had already stopped believing in God. I was offended that I was given this disease. I didn't know why I got it.
When I entered the university, my condition was getting worse. I had permanent cracks, itching, and frequent but brief bleeding on my hands. This new year, I've managed to get my skin back to almost normal. But now it's all coming back. As it turned out, atopic dermatitis depends on stress. I'm neurotic and I get nervous all the time.
Now I am forever in this limbo of blood and pain. Nothing and no one can save me.
I remember (from childhood) how I prayed on holidays, as my grandmother said that God would hear my prayers. No matter what treatment I chose, it all came back.
I'm just a mistake
One of the most fucked up gifts you can ever give someone is a food that a person is severely allergic to while knowing about it
My mom is allergic to nuts and my aunt give her chocolate candies with nuts knowing that my mom has allergy
Death, pounding at my door: IT’S ALLERGY SEASON, GIRLKISSER
Me, taking as many allergy meds as I can without killing myself, armed with a box of tissues: YOU’RE STILL NOT TAKING MY SOUL!
The narrator that lives in my brain: She would in fact not die, but she would sound like it every time she coughed.
So I would like to make a post about food allergies given the information I've been taught by my allergist regarding my food allergies.
The difference between food allergy, sensitivity, and intolerance.
Allergy. This is the classic anaphylaxis.
Sensitivity. This is caused by allergies, but the risk here isn't anaphylaxis. It's inflammation in gut that can cause fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, generalized ick feeling.
Intolerance. Your body is literally unable to process the food. It lacks the ability to, which means the food causes inflammation in the gut, causing similar symptoms as sensitivity.
Sensitivities will show up on an allergy test. Intolerance has to take a different test specific for that type of intolerance.
I mention this because I see a lot of fake claiming food allergies that's like "Yeah but I cross contaminated the food with eggs and that didn't kill her. She must be lying." Yeah food sensitivities can be pretty mild. Where if you give them an egg salad, they're gonna be having a bad day. But if you rub egg on their burger, they may not even notice.
Also like there's a lot of medical conditions that can affect a person's diet. They may have stomach issues that means they can't eat a lot of acidic foods, and if saying "Hey, I'm allergic to pineapple" gets you to not put pineapple juice in their drink because it'll cause a flare-up. I'm all for people doing whatever they need to make sure their health is taken seriously. Even if it's outright lying because food allergies is the only fucking thing people seem to take seriously in this world.
Anyways take people's "I can't eat this food" seriously. And don't fake claim them if they go "I can't eat this food but I'm not at risk if there's cross contamination"
