I remember getting hospitalized several times because of allergies to the extent that doctors needed to inject me with steroids because oral medications didn't work. Chicken, eggs, dairy products, chocolates, sea foods and other more were banned for me. Plus, I needed to maintain taking my anti-histamines. After three consecutive months of taking anti-histamines, my mother suggested that I should stop taking the medicine because she said that it's bad for me to become dependent on it, she also allowed me to eat the foods that were banned for me by the doctor so that I'll get use to all of it. She wanted me to expose myself more to these allergens.
Then, when I was in college, I noticed that my allergies rarely appeared. My mom's recommendation was effective. I also thought that I outgrew it. I was glad that my skin went back in its perfect condition.
However, when I got stressed at my first job because of my devilish-godzilla boss, I felt and thought that all my histamines popped-out again, I got hospitalized. I developed allergies once more and it took several months before my skin went back to it's normal smoothness. I then realized that allergens are not just about food intake or dust. I was also allergic of the inconsiderate, bad-tempered boss that I had. LOL
I'm blogging this because the season of my allergies came again for almost a month now due to imperfect weather conditions, maybe foods also contribute a little and also because of stress due to my fiance's business.
So now, I'm back to taking anti-histamines. I don't want it but I need it. Somehow, it helps to relieve the itchiness but there are times that I think I needed a higher dosage. So far, I haven't consulted the doctor yet because they might recommend me to stay in the hospital again which I can't afford doing due to my job.
Please, my dear histamines, relax and slumber in my system, I don't want you!
I hope to get well very soon!
