Allergies anyone?
I was just wondering if anyone has serious allergies.. my friends and family all pity me cuz I'm the resident "freak of nature" 
I'm allergic to everything from pertroleum based products, to cats to plants, I even have deadly food allergies (nuts)!
So.. am I alone in this world, or are they other people who carry a box of Benadryl with them at all times?

I'm not quite the 'boy in the bubble' that you are
, but I have pretty severe typical allergies. Grass and tree pollen, leaf molds, cats, dogs, and a whole slew of other things make me swell up and sniffle and sick! Well, they used to - I've been getting allergy shots for the past three years and I am about to the point where I am now unaffected by any of the things I was allergic to! As a result, my asthma is much more manageable now.
I would think an Epi-Pen would be better for you than a box of Benadryl!

Im allergic to about everything that can float through the air in summer spring or fall. In the winter I worry about the cold and my adthma. My doctor doesnt reccomend the shots just cause of cost, and we dont mind that at all. just suffer through it.

I get hay fever real bad in the summer.
If I miss my Claritin for even a day, I'm screwed for a week.
I'm also allergic to cats, but I just put up with it. I kick them outside where they don't bother me.

Bee stings and nuts - both very deadly
Chocolate - haven't tasted it since I was a kid
Oh well, things could be worse

I get stuffy headed and develop feverish symptoms if I'm away from FTE for more than a few hours . . . does that count?
Not allergic to any foods but have horrible problems with pollen and molds. Claritin-D does okay for me. Something else to try for you hayfever people is take a tablespoon of bee pollen (granuals) every morning. It has to be pollen from your local area. Do this every day and your symptoms will be considerably reduced.

I don't have a lot of allergies, however, one I do have is I am allergic to Aleve. Pu me in the hospital overnight last year. Unfortunately I have arthritis and this was supposed to be one of the better anti-inflammatories there is.

I have allergies to dust, but not too bad.
I'm allergic to chocolate...it turns me into a lunatic.
But my skin is allergic to just about everything. I have contact dermatitis. I can't use anything with perfumes in it. And just imagine not being able to use a bandaid for more than a few hours, without breaking out.

Almonds, walnuts, and probably macadamias, but I can eat peanuts, cashews, or pistashios all day if I want. I'm real allergic to dogs and multiple cats (one is ok). Stranglely enough I'm allergic to Cott root beer, it makes my throat swell up.

I am allergic to to just about any food that it grown, meaning fruits, most veggies, all melons and most nuts. It sucks to be me.
I can't eat my favorites like watermelons, bananas, raw patatoes w/a little salt, apples, oranges, and MANY others.
The only veggies I can eat are very well cooked patatoes, corn and green beans <---and I hate those
Basicly, the only things I can eat are grains, beans and meats.
