I am allergic to Eggs, Milk, and Almonds. There are a lot of foods that I can't eat, and some that I eat anyway. Maybe there are more that I eat that I am allergic to and don't know it! I can't eat cake, cookies, muffins, ice cream, bagels, pasta, anything made with eggs or milk, cheese, pizza, lots and lots of things.
Sometimes, I just eat them anyway, and suffer the consequences, which is usually cramping in my stomache and diahhreah (sp?) maybe there are other consequences which I am "now" becoming aware of!

I also have extreme allergies to anything with fur, dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and I grew up in the country on a farm with horses! I was pretty mizerable most of my life thinking I was just the kid who always had a cold.

I have a "turned up nose" from always rubbing it!

Has anyone ever heard of allergies causing PN? Creating neurological issues? I come from a pretty poor family who never had medical insurance, so tests and medicine were never something we had, we just had "mom and Granny" to tell us we were "sickly" and to stay outa the barn when we were sneezin!

I guess I'll have to try a "pure" diet and see if it helps the PN. Any feedback you all have come across would be helpful. I feel so "green" as my Granny would say! Now I'm definitely a city girl, don't have an accent or anything any more, but the country girl still comes out! I don't have the city girl experience as a child, and didn't go to the doctor except for the two concussions and one broken eye socket as a kid until I was 15 years old! Didn't go as an adult until I was ready to start having babies! Even with this PN stuff didn't go until I was about 6 months into the weird pains!
It's a little out of my comfort zone. I was like Izzy on Fried Green Tomatoes, no girls around to make me act like a girl until I went to High school, so I didn't have to until then! Didn't wear shoes unless I went to school, didn't comb my hair unless my mom could catch me and sit on me!

ALWAYS wore shorts under my dress cuz I didn't want the boys to see my girlie panties when I beat them playing tether ball. Only one boy could beat me, and that's cuz he flunked a grade and he was bigger than me! I was the tallest girl in school, and always had to sit in the back.

On Easter, my mom's sister would come with her three pretty little girls to grandma's house and they all had on matching pink coats with bows in their hair and matching dresses. Momma would put those pink curlers in my hair at night, and in the morning put me in a dress and one of those stupid hats with the elastic around your chin to hold it on. She would make me wear white gloves and white socks with black hard shoes. The shoes made a real loud noise when ya swung your feet on the benches in church and banged them on the seat. Momma always put me between the boys to keep them from fighting. When I would bang my feet on the seat, she would reach over and pull that little elastic string on my hat and snap it against my neck. I couldn't squeal though, cuz then I'd get taken outside and get spanked! As soon as we'd get home, I'd run in the bathroom and put water all over my hair and make it flat again because I hated lookin like I had a football helmet on my head. I'd take off that itchy dress and put on my plaid shirt like my brothers and my courderoy pants like them. If those sissy girls could dress alike, then me and my four brothers could dress alike too! I still had to wear my girl shoes though. And momma would get mad when I got em all muddy out in the garage. My brothers found all my Barbie dolls and hung em up in the Garage from Nooses, like they were prisoners, they took the BB guns they got and shot them, like they were bad. At first I was so mad, then they let me shoot too, so I wasn't so mad. It was pretty fun. Then we hung up the GI Joes too! My cousins ran and told on us!

Oh, What were we talking about? The food allergies... Sorry, I got a little Nostalgic there! Did I tell you I grew up with six brothers? No, I'm not Gay, but it's a little hard to be "feminine" when your brothers try so hard to make fun of you when you are a girl. If you can't beat em, join em! When I hit 12 and puberty kicked in, all hell broke loose and those boys never knew what happened! I was a kicking screaming long fingernails fighting hormone raging long haired banshee! They avoided my bedroom like it was Filled with Poisonous Snakes, until I turned 15 and started bringing home my girlfriends, then it was the candy store!


Anyway, any ideas on food allergies, sensitivities and PN would be greatly appreciated. Since it's so closely related to Diabetes, why not?

Thank's y'all,

The Banshee woman !
