Nearly 39 years ago I was diagnosed with my first allergy. I was 6 weeks old. Despite the medical profession assuring me that I would grow out of my allergies I never had. It is true that a lot of children will not carry their allergies through to adulthood, and it is true that at certain times of my life my allergies have been less sensitive than at other times, but on the whole I still have my allergies and I still take medication for them.
Simply speaking I feel that the medical profession has not done all it could for me and has let me down considerably and consistently.
I have multiple allergies and it is practically impossible to avoid everything that I am allergic to. I try to do the best that I can and have done an extensive amount of research into exactly what causes my symptoms. It transpires that I react differently to different allergens and require different medication depending on the symptoms.
This blog is intended to document my studies in the hope that it will save a lot of leg work for anybody else researching allergies and intolerances.
