Milk hives? It's official...

Sunday, August 05, 2007 9:13 AM

That's right, I'm now completely allergic to milk and anything with milk (ice cream, cakes, mashed potatoes, pancakes, and my favorite - Krispy Kreme donuts - even Macaroni and Cheese!). I found this all to be true here and here via WebMD. This really sucks because I love a lot of the foods made with milk. It's like, eggs - imagine what's cooked with eggs? Well, I started out as being "lactose intolerant" with stomach pains which has now turned into hives. The funny thing about these annoying things is I only breakout in hives when my body temperature drops a certain degree. Like at night when I try to sleep or wake up early in the morning, the air temp is lower than during the day, so I get small itchy hive bumps on my arms and legs that look like I was attacked by mosquitos all night (which was my very first thought when I first got them, but there are very few in the desert). Sounds funny I know, but have you ever met me without sleep? I'm the epiphany of mean (extremely grouchy). So, if you find me wearing a jacket in the middle of summer in a store - I'm not stealing anything, I just drank some milk.

My condolences fellow Geek. I don't know what I would do if I had to give up cheese or chocolate or Dunkin Donuts....
