Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Wow, Tammi, that is a major downer!! Did you have to have all the injection tests? So sorry to hear all your problems. I am probably the world's worst cook, but my sons have all won ribbons for their cooking skill. I'll check with them on a good recipee. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 ---Tammi, I went through the allergic stages. Started when I was little, had shots for years. Stopped them in late teens, did fine. Then when I was in my late 30's I started up again. Hives, swelling, it was awful. Found I was allergic wheat which left out a lot of food, and a lot of other foods and outside stuff. Then it left me again. I had gotten shots again for awhile, forget how long. But I have been free of most allergies, except grass and growing things and dust, for a long time. I was not diabetic when I had the allergies. Yours may pass with time as well. Allergy shots will help if they were recommended to you.
