I just had a "thank God my eyes work again" moment just now. It almost makes up for today. First off someone brought in donuts to work. We had cocktail hour at work for the holidays and all week I told the party planner about my gluten issue and what I could drink and stuff...and guess what happened? Yeah, they got nothing I could drink. And then ( Read more... )

In fact, I am recovered. Mostly. I have a doctor appointment Monday about the wheat situation (want a comforting pamphlet, dammit!), but I am off the eye drops and have the whitest whites I've never had. They sorta freak me out actually. I wore my contacts for the first time in weeks today. I can see again! No more faking it and driving in four ( Read more... )

 I am recovering from ocular arthritis caused by my wheat allergy...BUT...while I am not at 100% I am still hopping on a plane down to Texas to see my sis and Friday night see The Sounds in concert. I wrote about it here.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts while I've been sick. I hope to be on the mend. I have a weak of eye treatments and on the 21 I ( Read more... )

 I have ocular arthritis in conjunction with my wheat allergy. And I am taking steroids for it. So...I look like Hulk and I am pretty much Hulk. That is all.

(Thanks for voting for Hope if you did. She made it through! I am so f'n happy.)

I've been really sick with this wheat allergy. Like going to bed at 6pm kind of sick. I can't seem to stay awake. Guh. I literally set an alarm and rolled out of bed to vote for Hope Solo on DWTS though. If you want to make me feel a smidge better go vote for her too.

East Coast and central you can vote right now. Five times. West coast the lines ( Read more... )

Health update: After cutting gluten out of my diet for 48+ hours I am so much better. Of course yesterday at work I put on some lotion...and then noticed my hands were really itchy. So I put on more lotion. D'oh. Then my nose clogged up and my eyes itched and got light sensitive. Aveeno. Glutened! I washed as well as I could but I kept touching ( Read more... )

Eye(s) Update: Got a new working theory. Out with mold. In with wheat allergy. Have found flareups are aligning with wheat intake. Oddly, I never cared too much for breads and eating too much (aka: more than two pieces) of pizza typically makes me sick. I thought it was fat content or something but...I over dosed on pizza Monday and I want from  ( Read more... )

Eye Update: I am drugged up and miserable, but my eye finally seems to be better. No eye complaints today. Funny that the freaky bright redness would go away...right before Halloween. Could have worked that into a costume. Worried about going off the meds. If it is the mold in my office doing this to me I do not want the solution to be meds. The ( Read more... )

My allergies and stupid red eye overwhelmed my to-do list. It got bad again yesterday. An accumulation of the past week probably. Wasn't about to drive in that condition. I can't even read a book like this. I had my Kindle reading to me, but it was from a random book, not the one I've been trying to finish for a month since that is PAPER. ( Read more... )

1: Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Open, because it is one of those sliding mirror kinds and if I shift in bed I wake up because I see the movement in the mirror and freak.

2: Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
Only if I used part of them.
