New facts!

I have a fun new fact about Tylin.... I am allergic to Shell Fish!

I am not a fan of sea food; it smells way too fishy for my taste. I try to tell myself that taste buds change, and I should occasionally try food that I “don’t like”. Well on my Dad’s birthday 7/22 we had lobster and crab for dinner. Of course everyone was enjoying it so I thought I would try some. Just one bite of lobster and I had confirmed my yucky opinion of sea food.

I didn’t connect the dots yet, but on Wednesday I was EXTREMELY itch and could not stop scratching my scalp. On Thursday I was still itch, and noticed red blotches all over me. After a midnight run to get some Cortisone 10 and Clairatin, I decided to go to the doctor early Friday morning.

The doctor confirmed that I had hives, and deducted that the only new food I have come in contact with is shell fish, so that must be the cause of the hives. I have taken my steroids and am hive free. But now I have a good excuse for not wanting to eat sea food!

Sorry for the long time with out any post. I am wrapping up my summer classes, and they have taken all of my free time. I will give more updates soon.
