ajasfolks2 - I will do that tonight - start a college experience thread. You will not believe the things I have been through and have had to fight. I don't want anyone fighting the pure ignorance that's out there. It just quadruples the emotional aspect of sending one's child off to school. I'll get into more later but in short - all is good now. CMdeux - curious to know how your experience went.
Thanks for the welcome!!

Tickled pink that you found us here after all this time.
Some of us have same / similar usernames as before and others went for change with our move(s).
We're so glad you are here!
Your input so far as college experiences with LTFA (life-threatening food allergy) would be helpful . . .
as would "lessons learned" from an "older" LTFA parent . . . start a thread or find a thread to put you hard-won knowledge into!
Please stick around!

College - definitely an experience..trauma! But all is good now though.

- October 16, 2014, 06:01:42 PMHi All,
I used to be on another allergy board and was there for a number of years but stopped...don't even remember why.
With Lauren off to college this past September, I found myself back at "the old allergy board" looking to catch-up - to make sure I wasn't dropping the ball...forgetting something. Not the site I remember at all. I don't post much as there isn't much going on.
Someone sent me a message to let me know this site existed.
So very happy to see so many familar names. Can't wait to catch up.
Hope everyone is well, happy and safe.
Andrea
