Got CHOCOLATE? Sorta on/off topic
YaY!!!! I'm so happy for you. I used to be allergic to choc as well, and
evidently "out grew" it a few years ago, so I will join in your chocolate "happy dance"!!! -- TerriLee in WA (state) remove the cats to reply http://community.webshots.com/myphot...umID=548330161 "Butterflywings" wrote in message news:%LpBg.4895$Gv.4018@fed1read09... No, I am NOT being funny. I can HAVE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Allergy Dr had me try a piece when I was at the Clinic last week ONE PIECE so I chose a Almond Joy (he gave me a few options to try and said to try it whilst I was at the Clinic JUST IN CASE.

He figured it happened so long ago that my body had undergone enuf chemical changes including menopause that I would be safe. And I had NO REACTION NONE!!!!!! Course he said do NOT have a piece every day but I can once in a while and just see what happens--worst he expects is maybe a migraine. Still have to stay away from cheese and I have to keep liquid Benadryl with me when I do have a bit.

IT did show that I am chemically sensitive to a lot of stuff but we already knew that and avoidance is my best strategy. No, I am not ready to buy a bag of M&M's.... not yet anyhow..... I'm holding out for a piece of Godiva chocolate or one that Sandy in Henderson said was sooo good. A happy happy Butterfly |

B: A real nice chocolate treat is the
Truffles made by The Sweet Shoppe in Dallas (or is it Fort Worth?) Glad you are 'staying in your place' ... Queen of Roses and Butterflies! VERY glad you are getting a 'handle' on some of those health issues, especially the Chocolate Issue!!

Howdy!
Oh, darlin', Pat, how could you? Fort Worth, of course! The best things are. ;-) http://www.sweetshopusa.com/default.asp?cpc=7413 The chocolate industry will have to step up and make more, 'cause those of us who have been eating B-fly's share aren't willing to cut back. g Same goes for quilting; just because I have a good stash is no reason to stop collecting! ;-D Ragmop/Sandy http://www.fortworth.com/ On 8/7/06 3:53 PM, in article FLNBg.5233$yO4.3417@dukeread02, "Pat in Virginia" wrote: B: A real nice chocolate treat is the Truffles made by The Sweet Shoppe in Dallas (or is it Fort Worth?)

OT: Food allergies was: Got CHOCOLATE? Sorta on/off topic
Unfortunately, my doctor said that it looked like my DS's school needed
a "good anaphylactic reaction" to get them to understand the severity of his allergy...um...I'd rather not thank you very much! But sometimes I wonder!! We actually have a mom in the school who says that her daughter is allergic to different foods simply because the mom doesn't want her to eat them! Now, that just doesn't help at all!!!! Sue In article , Marcella Peek wrote: In article , "Kathy Applebaum" wrote: It does get frustrating some times when people don't understand, doesn't it? One of my quilting buddies is like that. I love her dearly, but at our potlucks when I can't eat her dishes that have eggs or cheese (or half a dozen other things) in them she'll say "Oh, it's okay. It doesn't have much.", or "You can just pick out the crumbled cheese." She doesn't do it maliciously (which is why we're still friends! LOL) -- in her mind a food allergy is exactly the same as not liking something. Does she need to you eat some, swell up and turn blue to believe? Amazing the attitudes that some people have. marcella |

These days I can get the hives from a hug, if something gets on my skin. People are so stupid and inconsiderate -- they invade my personal space wearing products that give me serious allergic reactions and then they get all offended when I back up and don't let them touch me. GEEZ. I like breathing, thankyouverymuch, I'd like to continue to do so! And my need to breathe is greater than your need to pollute my personal space with a hug! I'm pretty well isolated now though. I can't risk it anymore; I never go anywhere alone and I seldom go out at all now. Post offices, restaurants, stores, libraries, you name it, they're all infested with people wearing rude amounts of perfume and I end up sick and sometimes I collapse. I've learned the hard way that other people value their stupid perfumes more than their fellow human beings, and I'm heartily sick of their attitude toward an allergy I wouldn't have if I had a choice about it, which I don't. The only way I can continue to breathe is to stay away from them, so that's what I do. Anything else is "too much to ask." -- blackrosequilts No trees were harmed in the transmission of this message, but a considerable number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced. http://community.webshots.com/user/blackrosequilts 2005 BOMs: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/blackrosequilts/my_photos -------- __o ------- -\. -------- __o ---- ( )/ ( ) -------- -\. --------------------- ( )/ ( ) ----------------------------------------- |
