Hi Sarah

Double wow!! My husband has also suggested the paper suits for wearing when
I'm gardening, the ones with elasticated cuffs at the arms and the legs
yes??

about your affliction that prevents you from desentization. You know, my
best friend's mom suggested to me to get one of those suits for when I
garden. Also I am starting to look into how to prevent bee's in my yard. I
have called a few exterminators and found there are chemicals. However, I
need to find out how they will effect my dogs. Thanks again for the welcome.

August 8th 2003 just 3 days after you!

very familiar with the fear you are living with. You are right that most
folks cannot understand what this is all about and how it affects those that
live with it. I know that there are people who are thinking 'what a silly
fuss' when I am talking about my experience and living with anaphylaxis.
There are times when I get so stressed about it all, I feel defeated and so
very sad, I am trying to be positive but the future is such an unknown that
I find it hard.

and is at it's most intense in the summer months when I can be out for 12
hours stretches. After I got stung I gave it up but I have recently
returned to it - I will not be beaten........... well, not until summer
anyway :o)

due to another condition that I have. I have a severe allergy and was
really banking on the treatment. I am still coming to terms with all of
this and frequently 'breakdown' but I know that ultimately I am just going
to have to find a way to live with it, as we all are.
