It's nice to hear your psychologist tell you that the heightened anxieties you're facing surrounding your food allergies are a normal response, within normal parameters (not exaggerated). And that complete sense of uselessness after being in a scary situation with your allergen is also normal because the adrenaline rush of fear can lead to ultimate exhaustion. I'm not going crazy, I've just had a spectacularly crummy past six weeks from an allergy perspective.

Wow, I was just kind of floored when I walked out of my appointment yesterday. In a good way.

When I signed up for news alerts from a food allergy organization I don't remember asking for that to be abused by spamming me with mom blog "allergy free" recipes featuring cow's milk. That's not news.

DD ate walnut with no problem yesterday.

I love that my sister gets it. She always sets aside a small personal container of dips/chips, etc, for DS in case people's hands are not clean reaching into the community bowl. Well, tonight it paid off, she had told her friends no nuts or sesame. She confiscated a container of cashews from one of their friends.

Oh, wow, Hezz-- that is one AWESOME family member.

(Not the people with the cashews, obviously. Them,

)

But your sister, she's a keeper. Can you clone her?

I'm tired so the emojis do the Yay! Walnuts and Yay! Sister gets it for me.

I wasn't really expecting it to be a problem. It just feels good to confirm that the minor symptoms a while back weren't a new walnut allergy developing ... if anything, maybe OAS ... time will tell.

Being a FASer ... thinking ... why not post this here?
