Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Sydney and I have severe anaphylactic allergies to strawberry, pineapple, cashew and coconut! I know all the delicious foods right? Through having allergies I have learned a lot about myself and how to handle the frustrations and obstacles that come with having life threatening allergies. Epinephrine has saved my life several times and because of that I am here to tell my story as well as offer tips and tricks to surviving day to day life tasks with allergies. Feel free to message me with questions and feedback on my ask page! Enjoy 🙂

Ooh another anaphylactic girl! Awesome, haha! Keeps life interesting for us, eh? My anaphylactic allergies are egg, nuts, all seafood, and several antibiotics (actually all of them I’ve tried except one- but too scared to ever take antibiotics again I’m pretty sure)! Looking forward to reading your old posts and seeing new ones! Always comforting to hear that there are others out there with the same types of issues.
Isn’t blogging great! Theres a whole community of us allergy girls!! I look forward to reading your posts too!

Thanks for commenting! I also admire you for your dedication. Neat to hear from someone who has similar allergies. Hope all is well with you! Look forward to hearing more from you!
I know very little about anaphylaxis, but I do know how to stop respiratory allergies. I was always allergic to pollens, smoke, dust, perfume, musty paper–you name it. I was constantly clearing my throat and had congestion, frequent colds, respiratory infections, and horrible headaches. In 2004 I learned how to stop all my reactions to those irritants, which are not actually harmful. I don’t take medications any more. My blog is http://howtostopcolds.wordpress.com and my website is http://www.howtostopcolds.com
Nice to find a kindred spirit! I’m anaphylactic to peanuts and mushrooms. Both are airborne reactions but the peanuts i t much more severe; I can walk by a mushroom growing on the ground and not have a problem but being near someone eating a peanut-y candy had sent me to the ER in an ambulance. Epinephrine has saved my life too!

Yes! I completely agree. 🙂

I’ve been enjoying getting the notifications that you’ve “liked” things on my blog. 🙂
The comments sections are all down for the moment due to problems with trolls. I was on the news a couple of days ago due to some allergy-related issues with peanuts (see the newest blog post if you’re interested) and I’ve been getting a lot of not-so-friendly comments. Waiting for it to blow over.

Yeah I was searching for the comment section! LOL! Sorry to hear about the nasty comments! Hope it all blows over! Will definitely go check out your latest post.
P.S So glad to see that someone else is allergic to strawberries!
I wondered if you were! 🙂
I felt the same way when I saw you had a strawberry allergy! It doesn’t seem to be a super common one.

Thank you for finding my page… most of all because it led me to yours! It’s so challenging to walk through life when things others take for granted (or let’s face it, just simply ignore!) can be deadly triggers to others, like you. I don’t have anaphylactic reactions (but do have severe asthma) and my body can be triggered by any number of things. It’s always changing so it’s like constantly walking through landmine fields.
As you well know!! I applaud your strength and courage. And I am glad you are reaching out to connect with the blogging community. It can be so comforting to know we are not alone, especially when you are so young.
Keep up the hope!
Thanks for your kind words! You are very strong and courageous as well! I look forward to reading more posts and following your story! The blogging community is so great, love hearing others stories and knowing your not alone!
I don’t have any food allergies but my young children have multiple. Your post about your mom has touched me tremendously. Though we haven’t used that epi-pen yet (Thank God!), I know how it feels to be called by the school nurse frequently, cracking the nebulizer until the breaking point and having sets of epi-pen on hand all the time.
Hugs to you and your mom who’ve faced this journey in such a positive way.
I am glad you found that post so touching. I believe that by facing these obstacles with positivity it makes the journey so much smoother. I look forward to hearing more from you!
Hidi ho! Not sure if you do the award thing but if so, I’ve given you one linked above. Thanks for writing!
Thank you so much that is so kind of you! I will definitely be getting a chance to pass this on, when I get a chance!
