You let the winds come tear it apart.
I went to an allergist on Monday because my brother just found out he has a lot of food allergies. Given that he never had any symptoms and I've had stomach problems since I was two, and Upper GIs, Lower GIs, stomach scopes, ultrasounds, etc, found nothing, my mom thought it was a good idea.
I don't get the results back for a month, but my new doctor is really concerned by how many different symptoms I have. He made me fill a prescription for epinephrine injections and I'm to carry them with me wherever I go.
I'm never to eat chocolate again because the reaction could be fatal.
He thinks Celiac disease is likely.
It's not that big a deal and even if I had to eat slop for the rest of my life I'd prefer it to feeling nauseous a few times a day, not to mention other more serious and disgusting symptoms.
I'm actually afraid that I won't be allergic to anything else and they'll never find out what's wrong with me.
I told the people in my immediate family what's going on and I only felt like telling one other person about it, but I sense some new apathy when it comes to me...and it really doesn't feel worth mentioning.
If my throat closes up and I die, I can only imagine a few people at my funeral anyway, most of them to support my family, not out of any affection for me.
I'm such a winner.
...Now with allergies;)

bah, if those people cant see how cool you are then they can stay home!
ReplyDeletewhat's apathy? i suppose i could look it up but meh, i guess i just dont care one way or the other....
Actually, if they can't see how cool I am, they can go out...I'm the one who always stays home.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny.
i meant stay home from your funeral, silly!
ReplyDeletewhaddya mean funny? funny how? like i'm a clown?
Yes, I was being facetious. Perhaps I won't even have a funeral. "And her body was discovered three weeks later, eaten...by wild dogs."
ReplyDeleteYes, Joe, funny.
