I ♥ Amaebi

I have some really exciting news to share. I'm not allergic to shrimp! For years, I've been convinced that I'm developing a shrimp allergy. Each time I'm at the sushi bar, it's been this huge debate for me... how many amaebi should I eat? After my visit with the Allergist & about 30-40 pricks on my back, today it has been uncovered that I'm allergic to EVERYTHING but crustaceans. I'm allergic to my down bedding, my dog, and all grasses & trees out there. Another positive reaped from today: I can finally kick the corticosteroids to the curb... though with some slightly adverse/ temporary effects on my adrenal glands... I should lose the 7% weight I've gained over the past 2 months and probably sleep better at night.

Alas, this does kill all the excitement at the sushi bar. I guess you can't win them all.
