I hear ya. That sucks mouldy rocks through a straw.

(If I ever find the Complaints Desk, I'll ask if they'd let you trade the fruit allergies for allergies to moldy rocks through a straw or something.)

There's something particularly... disheartening about losing something from an already thinned list, I find. Dunno whether it's that the loss is proportionately bigger, or what. It's like, "hey! I already gave! I gave at the office!"

And the emotional reaction... makes perfect sense to me. I mean, what's your experience with food allergies been? That each loss is followed eventually by more loss. You are a sentient, sensitive, pattern-finding person, and it's no wonder that you're wondering what the hell is next.

I wish it weren't happening to you.

I know that you'll cope with this damned thing. But you know, I wish you didn't have to.

Is there anything a Lioness could do to help? My email ear is open for ya, and it's not like you're gonna shock me or anything. {wry smile of offered cameraderie}
