As far as I know, people with cat allergies aren’t allergic to the fur, they’re allergic to the saliva. The saliva coats the fur when the cat grooms itself and then flakes off into the air or when cat fur coated with saliva gets on you…poof, allergies.

I would do ANYTHING to keep my cats. And as a veggie, I can’t imagine not eating wheat or soy…

I really identify with this, having had (literally) crippling health problems when I was 21 that completely changed my life. Also, allergies completely suck. I once went into shock after an allergy test after being reassured that it was ‘impossible’ I would be allergic to everything being tested. How I love being the impossible one!

I’m glad you’ve redisocovered your mojo though, will be back for more.

I had no idea you were going through so much over the past year. It must have been hell. So glad better days are ahead for you.

This is fantastic to hear. It’s so frustrating when you KNOW something is wrong or you’re misdiagnosed because it acts as a dead end. So unfair.

I’m looking forward to hearing more posts from you and how you’re healing, feeling better, more light and less tired

Holly, this is SUCH amazing news. For everything that you have been through to find out that it was something “so simple” in comparison to what you thought you were fighting.

That being said soy AND wheat?! I have a couple gluten-free/celiac friends and they have a hard enough time with wheat. One once commented that at least she wasn’t allergic to soy.

I’ll be looking forward to you blogging about your upcoming months with a new lifestyle. With much more energy and a new lease and outlook!

I have to give mad props to Sherry – she recommended the internal specialist I went to and he was awesome, awesome, awesome. It amazes me that some doctors can be so dismissive of the way you feel. I’ll be writing a post about that very topic, Sherry, about the whole being your own health care advocate.

Monica- I’ll probably be blogging about my newly revealed allergies. I’m already experiencing frustration at my food allergies. It’s unreal how many things contain soy & wheat…
