My older sister says she hates her peanut allergy. What I don't understand is because of people like our Mom the world is safer for people like her. There are so many options for people to live a normal life without having to worry about having a reaction. All it takes is making smart choices.
I refused to go to Las Vegas with just her because I knew I would be babysitting. She would insist on going to buffets where cross contamination is very likely instead of going to a regular… read more

I've had 3 sinus surgeries which basically didn't work because the polyps grew back, there is only so much lining in our sinuses, so no more surgeries for me. I've tried literally every nose spray on the market, sinus douching. I find the salt rinses don't help, although one homeopathic rinse I tried a few years ago helped a little
I literally feel like I've tried everything... although I'm always open to suggestions!… read more

I live with my husband's family who seem to not want to understand or help me prevent a reaction. They do not seem to want to understand cross contamination, and they refuse to change their diet so that my kitchen is allergen free. (They like… read more
