Allergy

Dear bloggie,

I went to the doctor's earlier today for my routine check up. The doctor told me I am somewhat malnourished. Hello? Me, malnourished? How can it be? I eat almost anything. But off late, I've realized I'm not able to tolerate the foods I previously can. Anything I eat, brings me to the loo. I've mentioned this to him and he said results have confirmed that I am moderately allergic to food. It may be due to the immunosurpressant drugs I've been taking, which alters my body's immune system. Now I have to be careful of what I eat. He said "Everyday will be a challenging day for you from now on. You have to watch what you eat and list down all the foods you can't tolerate. Please come to the ER as soon as you have any allergic reaction, because your life is in danger every single day." I sat there alone, finding it hard to swallow his words let alone digesting them. It is scary, knowing that each day I could die; just because of the food I eat. The food hunt begins today. My only wish is, if only there is someone to share this burden with me, to be there with me, making sure I am safe every single day. I am still considering on whether to tell mom and dad about this.

*To God I pray*
