Fresh Perspective

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm new.

Today I went to a new allergist, because I seemed to be developing more food

sensitivities.

But first a little history: I'm 32, have had asthma since age 16, it has been

under control

for 10 years by use of flovent. I have had allergies for as long as I remember,

they were all

of the airborne-type variety until about six years ago. I became very seriously

allergic to

eggs. I also developed acid reflux in the same time period. About three years

later, I

developed allergies to: cabbage, citrus, tomatoes, beef, soy, peanut, hazelnut,

and pecans.

None are as bad as eggs, and I've had to exclude soy and the nuts from my diet.

I have been having trouble with the following foods lately: wheat, corn, other

nuts. This

prompted my visit to the allergist. It's hard to play detective if you think

any/all of these

foods may be causing issues. Also, my allergy shiners are darker than

ever...getting worse

all the time.

Today he told me about Xolair, I'm a perfect candidate...I'll be finding out in

a month or so

whether or not my insurance will allow it. He told me that there's a good chance

I will be

symptom free for many of my complaints and I'll even be able to eat eggs! Has

any one

else had this much good " luck " ?

Giddy with excitement,
