Urghhhh....

This morning around 2 am, my body decided to remind me of the consequences of not paying attention to the corn allegy de-sensetizing program, with pain the like of which I haven't experienced since the gall bladder operation, which lasted over an hour and a half despite having taken a double dose of antihistimene!!!

Note to self: Restock the medicine cabinets with full allergy capsules, not the halfers (sinus & allergy) I ended up taking this morning because that was all I could find.

2nd note to self: when reaching for a carbonated beverage with which to wash down the capsules and hopefully induce oral gas pressure release, double check the can to be certain it is NOT sweetened with corn syrup!!!!

3rd note: Popcorn is NOT my friend. Neither is 'cheese-in-a-can'.


*sigh*

♥ That sounds awfully painful. I wasn't aware that you were allergic to corn! That must be tough, it seems like everything has corn.

It gets tricky, that's for sure. But I do a lot of my cooking from scratch and stay away as much as possible from processed and pre-packaged foods. Plus my doctor has me on a 'desensitizing' program. Most of the time I do okay, its just somehow I accidently overloaded my 'corn allowance' the past couple days, and WHAMMO!!!!!

I think it was the Halloween candy and the popcorn >:(
