The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I think I'm allergic to strawberries. I used to get bad outbreaks as a kid, but since then ive eaten strawberrie yougurt, and other products with small amounts of strawberries and not gotten sick, so I may not be allergic anymore. Im not really a big fan of strawberries, so Im not in a big hurry, but when I get a few days off, ill eat a few and see what happens. Im also allergic to bees.
I'm allergic to milk and wheat! So can't really eat any normal food, lol. I'm allso allergic to some different trees and grass. But the worst thing is I can't eat normal pizza!
-Dogs and cats (Still own my cat - the allergist said it was OK)
-Pollen from May to October
-Dust (any type of dust in the air)
-Cigarette smoke (anything with particles that can be thrown in the air)
-I seem to be allergic to tree leaves, I don't know...
Those allergies are just getting worse.I keep blowing my nose all the time and emptying kleenex boxes. I sneeze, get watery eyes, blow my nose. It's unbearable... Now I'm getting eczema, urticaria... what else...
My immune system is weakening itself... I think I should go completely bio...
No!Hmmmm, if my immune system was too good, I wouldn't suffer from allergies and eczema/urticaria rashes, no?
rainbowpromise said:No!
What you (and I) are suffering is a dysfunctional immune system, but not a weak immune system. In fact our immune system is so strong and zealous that it is attacking the normal tissues of our body and causing hives and/or eczema as a result.
Really? I thought otherwise....Well, I've always heard that allergies are related to a weak immune system ... Didn't study that in depth though, ah well. We learn something every day.
Do you know how we can make our immune system function normally, then?
Do you have any websites with info on that? Now I'm really curious to know... (I know I can search myself but if you have any websites you find truly informative, can you link them here?)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY!
By Love, Faith and His stripes we are healed!
I used to have that problem. As I got older and tougher, they started leaving me alone.I am also allergic to mozzie bites. I have one on my leg now that has swollen to the size of a cricket ball, or slightly bigger. It is itchy and horribile. I have to put numbing and anti-inflammatory cream on it.
