We have been abroad many times and have managed pretty well, but find French food trickier than most . We have Epipens etc. but would love a really accurate French translation of: ‘My daughter has a severe, life threatening allergy to all kinds of nuts. Please could you tell me, or check with the chef. if this is safe for her to eat?’

I was rushed to the ER after blowing up a latex balloon (which I have done many times before). I am having a difficult time expressing the severity of this to others. I was told by my allergist this an airborne allergy for me and to remove myself from situations that could possibly trigger a reaction. At work when there is a birthday, which seems like daily, the balloons get blown up and left there for a week in celebration (popping constantly throughout the week). This past week at work, there were balloons around my desk everyday. I can not afford to leave work for five days so others can celebrate their birthdays. Work has told me that they can not ask people to remove the balloons and that I should have enough time to react before it gets too bad. I am afraid to go to work waiting for the day that I will need to use my epi pen. Please help, I’m scared!!!

I’ve gotten so used to having hives daily it’s like if I forget to take my allergy meds then I will break out in the middle of the night. Last summer I would break out in hives everyday around 4pm not matter where I was or what I was doing. If it’s now hives my face, around my eyes, my lips, tongue, or throat will swell or fequent headaches. How do people deal with the same problems daily? HELP ME!! This doesn’t run in my family. I have it and now I’ve past it on to my daughter who hasn’t had them as severe as I yet. Can anyone dealing with the same problem give me any answers. The only stress that I have in my life is these allergies. I eat healthy and I used to exercise on my eliptical daily but now that I’m on allergy meds daily I just don’t have the energy anymore.
