I have had allergies all my life!  And Geezzz they only keep getting worse.  But, I can live with them just takes some adjusting.  I have several medicine allergies, and as my doctor says I am allergic to four seasons.  It doesn't matter whether it is raining or sunshiny outside I am allergic to it all.  I also, have allergies to inside too, such as dust mites, dust, chemicals well I think you get the point.  The worst allergy is to all nuts....In December 2010 I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance to find out now I can't have nuts.  I will have to say this allergy is a hard one.  I love nuts of all kind and eating out has gotten scarey, plus going to parties, well I just stay away from everything.  You just never know what might have nuts, peanut oil or peanut butter in it.  I carry two epi pens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine_autoinjector) but am so glad I have yet to have to use one!  I am going to start sharing some information on allergies here on my blog and hope that it can help others who have allergies too, I know I can't be the only one!

Living With a Nut Allergy

Allergic reaction to nuts can progress rapidly to anaphylaxis. Peanut allergy is responsible for more deaths than any other type of allergy.
If you suffer from a nut allergy, strictly avoiding nuts, including peanuts and tree nuts like cashews and walnuts, and food containing nuts is the only way to prevent a reaction. But, it is not always easy to avoid these foods since many unsuspecting products contain nuts.
Always check the label ingredients before you use a product. In addition, check the label each time you buy the product. Manufacturers occasionally change recipes, and a trigger food may be added to the new recipe. Also, keep in mind that many prepared foods, including baked goods, candy, and ethnic foods, can be contaminated with peanuts if products containing peanuts are prepared in the same place or by the same manufacturer. Always be prepared for this possibility and the risk of a reaction.
Examples of peanut and tree-nut products and foods that may contain them, include:

Peanut Products	Peanut-Containing Ingredients	Tree Nuts	Tree Nut-Containing Ingredients	Nut-Containing Foods
Cold-pressed or expressed peanut oil Peanut butter Peanut flour	Hydrolyzed plant protein Hydrolyzed vegetable protein	Almonds Brazil nuts Cashews Chestnuts Filberts Hazelnuts Hickory nuts Macadamia nuts Pecans Pine nuts Pistachios Walnuts	Marzipan / almond paste Nougat Artificial nuts Nut butters (such as cashew butter and almond butter) Nut oil Nut paste (such as almond paste) Nut extracts (such as almond extract)	Ground nuts Mixed nuts Chex mix Artificial nuts Nougat African, Chinese, Thai, and other ethnic dishes Cookies, candy, pastries, and other baked goods Grain breads Ice cream, frozen desserts High-energy bars Cereals and granola Salad dressing Marzipan

Tree nuts are sometimes used in lotions and shampoos. Be sure to check labels of these products, as well as food labels.
People who have peanut allergies should avoid the use of the inhaler Atrovent.
