Wow look after yourself Edna

I don't think I can handle eating cheese anymore

Intolerant?

Must be

My bowels thanking me for cutting it out anyway

Can you handle some cheeses but not others? A lot of hard cheeses don't have much (if any) lactose because it all gets converted during the process of making the cheese.

Well I only usually have mature cheddar so there's no variation really

I'm already on the lactose free milk, dark chocolate and I have as little sugar in my diet as possible but the cheese problem is the latest thing I'm having to cut out

It's been a process of elimination

I'm pretty stable ATM with it so that's good

I love cheese as well but it obviously doesn't love me back the same

It's probably not lactose causing you problems if mature cheddar is a problem, there's very little lactose left by the time it's aged enough to be mature or sharp or old.

I hope you can figure out what the problem is.

Jarlsberg is lactose free cheese.
Stilton Blue cheese is very low lactose.

Thank you guys

I'll keep working on it

Went to my GP today and complained that my asthma is getting worse. I was told to try taking more Symbicort, not just morning and night but when I go to the gym and work. I hope this makes a difference. She listened to my chest, sounds wheezy. I got sent to have blood tests for a lot of things including anaemia which can cause breathlessness. I hope it's not that. Guess now I have to wait for results. I go back in a month.

Today is almost a week of not being disrupted by a sudden sneeze nor managing nasal slobber.

A LOT of things had changed for me now.
Everyday things that mattered so much.

The things I've been wishing for so, so long...
Like the counter went to 0.

But this time, I do not mind, unlike what happens every other week.

I do not mind rebuilding again.

As long as I never go through another 24 hr long of struggling to breathe through the nose, sneezing for no apparent reason, and all that came with whatever people mislabeled as an allergy, -itis of whatever upper respiratory anatomy, all that fricking disgusting mucus, needing to carry a towel or two anywhere and everywhere...

I'm keeping this medication.
Along with the BCP.

Soon I will get over the stupid self image impose over the stupid chronic symptom of having a disgusting slobbering.

Soon I will get over the uncertainty that I'll get disrupted on a daily basis.

Soon I'll get over the screwed sense of time that made me rush.

Soon the last 25+ years existing that way is history. Finally, finally over.


I don't care if I didn't get diagnosed.
I don't care if the long term effects are risky.

I already got my wish.
My longest wish came true.

And I was right all along; of how it overwhelms me ever more, of how much it is a source of stress for me, no matter how much I did and didn't do.

It might even be the very one that's been forcing me to be hyperaware of my own body.

But I don't care.
It doesn't encumber me anymore.
Because it's gone, just the way I like it.

I've gotten two texts from the doctor saying I have elevated cholesterol and that I may have diabetes. I have to call and make an appointment to get a glucose tolerance test. I'll do that tomorrow.

I'm not surprised, really. I am fat even though I'm pretty active. But my diet isn't great. My housemate and I have been trying to eat less. I've been more successful at that than she has.

It will probably be a week or so until I find out for sure about the diabetes.

Yeah you should get that looked at
