Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
The past few days my eyes have been itchy! Waking up today that is the first thing that came to my mind. It is raining outside and hopefully my allergies will come down a bit.
I have suffered from allergies all through my life! Ask my parents they atill have PTSD when I cough even on phone.
Dr. Chandran an ENT specialist worked with my issues. We didn’t have immunologists. I remember him telling me to avoid so many different kinds of citrus fruits to help me. There was a big gooseberry tree in the neighborhood. I was specifically asked not to eat that fruit. Unlike today, kids spent their time playing outside and part of the fun was eating. I had conditions like I shouldn’t sweat (I may start coughing) and so my mom watched me not play harsh. After the play kids spent eating the fruits from the tree. The owner of that particular house was not a fan yet kids loved eating without permission. I never touched that fruit for the fear of my cough coming back🤔!
Yes, from yogurt to ice cream I was on so many not to eat diets. I think Dr. Chandran and my dad tried their best to solve my problem!
After coming to the US, I still get my cough but not to the extent when I was a little kid. Maybe I just passed those on to my kids and both in one way or another suffer during allergy season and the torch has been passed from my dad to me!
The immune system is still not a subject that has been researched much. My husband says unlike parts of the body it is the software part of our body and each individual suffers in a different way!
The prompt did bring today’ issues and made me go on a memory lane!
