Yesterday I had my monthly visit with Dr.Heart-Strings. I grumbled about the usual stuff and we tried to come up with a plan. However, some of my food allergies got worse so I thought it was worth mentioning. This is how the conversation went:
Me: 'Yeah, the dairy thing isn't any better. I ended up getting really sick cuz it messed up my immune system. I get scary upper airway issues from it now.'
Dr.Heart-Strings: 'You know they can work on that by continually introducing it.'
Me: 'Yeah, but it's gotten worse since I've tried that. I ate something bad and then decided since I already messed up my diet, I'd have some pizza. That didn't go very well. And, yes I know- I'm an idiot.'
Dr.Heart-Strings: 'It has to be done GRADUALLY!'
Me: 'I know...'
Dr.Heart-Strings: 'I have a patient who was allergic to aspirin and he really needed it. So, he went and did this thing where they slowly introduced him to it over the course of 6 or 7 months. He's ok now, which is good since he's my accountant.'
Me: 'He's your accountant? No wonder he needed the aspirin...'
