I'm 18 and have a lot of allergies.
Pollen, Food (eggs, tree nuts and a lot of fruits), some soaps/shampoos.
I have a pollen allergy since I was a toddler, but it was never anything that ruined my life.Â
I have symptoms between March and June and that was it. It is annoying but not something that would ruin my life.Â
Since 2017 my hands were dry, itchy and red for a long time. I didn't think that it was an allergy but realized that it probably is an allergy because it only happens when I use some soaps.Â
In 2016 I developed a tree nut allergy. I quickly realized that it was probably an allergy because I felt sick every time I ate walnuts. I was lucky enough to have mild symptoms that went away in 20 - 30 Minutes.
After getting tested, the doctor prescribed me an epipen that I carry with me all the time.Â
I was fine with that but in 2018 later i suddenly developed an egg allergy. This time I knew that I was allergic way faster than the last time. But I could eat/tolerate baked eggs in pizza, biscuits or cake. When I ate an omelette or scrambled eggs I reacted.
Since last year I can't eat baked eggs anymore.
I'm also allergic to many raw fruits.Â
All of this, food allergy anxiety, fear of anaphylaxis (didn't happen yet) and the constant fear of developing new allergies ruined my life.Â
I was a foodie. I loved eating out in restaurants/cafes but now I don't do that anymore. Only when I'm on a vacation and I thought about what i could eat for hours everyday. It was 99% anxiety/stress and 1% amazing food. Then I ordered cake as a dessert and the waiter said that there was no eggs/tree nuts in the cake but I (like always) knew that I reacted once I ate my first bite.
I'm very desperate and would try anything.
