Allergy

Late last night, my throat became really constricted and my voice was all changed. It was just like the times when I had allergic reactions to Aspirin and Panadol but not as bad as I could still talk. I had dinner like the rest of the family. So it was not the dinner. But I recalled eating a chocolate bar and some veggie crackers. I had the crackers before and had no problem. So it is the chocolate??

In the morning, I went to see the doctor again. He checked my throat and there was no redness or soreness but just swelling. He confirmed that I had an allergic reaction, what they called fixed food allergy. Darn! Now, not only am I allergic to certain medication, I am also allergic to food?! :( :( For the moment, I will have to stay off chocolates and nuts because the chocolate bar I had was a real nutty one until I can test what I am really allergic to via blood testing. SIGH. :(
