Baffled isn’t even the best word to describe my thoughts on my ever growing list of allergies.

I feel slighted. It’s been perilous navigating what I can and cannot consume. On one end, I hardly have lupus flares. On the other hand, I’m always battling some type of allergic reaction now.

This time, it’s liquid coffee creamer. I think I’ll stick with almond milk or coconut milk creamer from now on. Or just plain old milk. Whatever the constitution is in coffee creamers makes me sick. It also includes a rash at the site of entry, and if use prolongs, a rash around my neck, stomach issues, and dizziness/faintness.

Oddly enough, I drink milk everyday. But creamer doesn’t agree with me.

So what the hell is in it?

A friend suggested simply because I have lupus, my body doesn’t agree with most of the crap out there. I’m diligent about what I consume because of this, and have managed to stay out of the hospital – period.

But after hearing how the FDA is under fire (given that this was months ago) and there still is no change to the food, I’m asking if someone is trying to kill me.

I’m positive that is the case, but I’d prefer a confession, of sorts.

Now that I’ve unlocked a new allergy, I should begin to feel better, soon,

Until next time…😒
