Hoping it Isn't True

I am the lucky one in my family to get to deal with allergies, however, I have always been fortunate that it's environmental stuff. Well, last week, apparently between lunch and dinner, my body decided it might be changing that. I started having a reaction while at work - sorry if I scared anyone there - as we were closing. Near the end of the night, I just shut down. I was ready to cry, which is hard when you are already having issues with breathing, not because I was feeling bad, which I was, but because I had no idea what was going on. I knew it was a reaction because I have had them before but I wasn't around any of my usual triggers, no new lotions, no new soaps/detergents. It was extremely frustrating. Fortunately, I was able to get into the allergist in the morning. Long story short - not really - I may have an allergy to peanuts. I am not allowed to have any nuts for a few weeks. Then, when I feel like I can be off all my drugs for five days, I can go in and be tested for that. I SOOOOO hope this isn't it. I live on peanut butter and can honestly say this is not a new craving for me. However, in the meantime, I have developed a paranoia about what my fries are being cooked in and what the ingredients are in my food. (Okay, so I had a blond moment when I bought my cereal and was smart enough to not buy the banana nut Cheerios, but for some reason that didn't extend to honey nut Cheerios, and I didn't catch on to that until two days later.) Any way, I am hoping to have that answer prior to our cruise and am really, really hoping it's not something I'll have to watch any more after that.
