i cant believe theres a whole section dedicated just to Allergies. What next? colour of socks you wore today?

[frenchconnection]

thats it really

I think she fcuked off

haven't read the thread - have no children (touchwood) with any allergies.........but are you out of your mind??????

Who's been feeding the trolls?

good god, this place has gone nuts ! see what i did there..used the word 'nuts'!!

anyhoo, as the mother of a child with a peanut allergy, who has to have piriton and 2 epipens with him at all times, who stayed with his grandparents last month, had a reaction to something that didn't even have nuts in, and had to have paramedics round...yes, i can see your point, FC, really not worth bothering about, no more important than socks

this may provide some helpful information

Like Misdee's dd, my brother has moderate asthma/hayfever/eczema plus other reactions to certain products.

He's 36 and still suffers, especially in the summer months.

It's great having over 30 years of your life affected this way, it really is.

What an insensitive thread. Sheesh.

lol

You take the piss French...surely?

FC - perhaps you'd like to accompany me to hospital with ds1 when he develops huge blisters over his body through eating egg, as he vomits his insides up and develops a total body rash or maybe come here and help me cope with his allergy to nuts that is totally off the scale.
Try cooking EVERY day for a ds1 with egg and nut allergy and ds2 with milk allergy. Sometimes, just sometimes you need to seek advice from others, support and reassurance that unfortunately isn't readily available in our wonderful NHS.
I really really sincerely hope that none of your children ever develop an allergy and you have to learn how deal with it. I also hope that none of them inherit your ignorant, uncaring and downright hurtful points of view.

enjoy yourself on the "am i being unreasonable thread"
surely that's the extent to your intellect?

Anyone who has to say "i am intelligent, i have 2 degrees" well.. here are 2 words for you, one starting with f, one ending with f.
you work it out. twat.

Is it a full moon?

Do you think it's to do with the position of the moon? (All these bonkers let's-belittle-and-attack-each-other threads???)

Great minds IGW!

But FC isn't a troll. I have seen he/she/it on here a few times.

"Not thick no, have 2 degree but obviously not in the field of allergies. my dd has a boy in her class who brings his own lunch and cake to a party ffs. hes got a peanut allergy that gives him..wait for it....a very slight rash"

Perhaps you would like to have a look around the topic to see that most children who have now anaphylactic allergies started with a reaction as simple as a rash. The more exposed you get to the allergen the more likely you develop a life threatening allergy and belive me, there is no exagereation in saying that you can count youself lucky if you make it alive to the hospital.

But perhaps you can choose one of your colour socks and push it through down your throat or your children's so you can see what a terrible problem is watching your child getting asfixiated in front of your eyes.

Or evern better, let the socks do the thinking, I'm sure they will come up with more inteligent posts.

There is no excuse TBH.

You can be a jerk but you have to choose a less vulnerable target.

I've a degree and I'm thick as pig shit.

Having a degree means fuck all

Chandra if you've witnessed that.

FC..i started with a slight rash and tingly lips as a reaction to peanuts many years ago
I reckon i have about 15 minutes now...15 minutes before i die

Sadly, people with frenchconnection's attitude are fairly common in my experience. The sort of people who will tell you to your face that allergies dont exist, when you have just explained that eating xxx makes you ill. Or have a wonderfully funny story about how they were at a dinner party and someone asked if there was cows milk in a dish and they told her there wasnt, so she ate it, AND SHE DIDNT DROP DEAD.

I dont know what it is about allergies that brings out the home doctor in people. I have been told "You dont have allergies, you are just imagining things."
Really - you know better than my specialist, and your opinion is more correct than test results?

I have also been told that cows milk doesnt cause my nose to run - apparently, I am so stupid that, because mucous looks a bit like milk, I believe that cows milk comes out of my nose when I drink it.
I have an Oxford degree, and people still believe that I am stupid enough to think that milk is coming out of my nose?

Isnt it simpler to accept the truth? I am allergic to milk. Tests have shown it. One symptom is a runny nose.
