If you’ve linked here from the main site, at http://www.allergytimes.com, you may be wondering what this blog is about. With all of the allergy sites out there on the web and in the blogosphere, you may be inundated with information about everything from allergy testing to egg allergies. But this blog is a bit different. It’s about daily life with allergies — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I’ve intended to put up an allergy blog for some time now, mostly because I’m asked — on a regular basis — how I manage to not only live, but thrive with severe multiple food allergies and environmental allergies. I felt it was time to simply record what I do to deal with my allergies in blog form. From preparing allergy-free meals at home to eating in restaurants (which I don’t), and having allergy tests done, I’m going to post all about life with allergies here. I hope it’s useful and interesting to you.

Ah, but what about the product reviews and ads on the site, you may ask? Is this legit? Yes. In fact, I’m a real human being with very real allergies. I carry EpiPens and use a number of different products to help me deal with my symptoms. It was my own online allergy product searches over the years that led me to decide to set up a series of online reviews and recommendation — because when I searched for information on allergy and allergy remedies, I found extremely questionable products. I also wasted a lot of money on really mediocre allergy books and treatments. So, you can rest assured that if I review it and have good things to say, it’s because I trust it. And of course, if something I write about helps your allergic symptoms, I look forward to hearing about it!

In the interest of being really clear, if you’re looking for an allergy cure, you won’t find one here. That’s because there is no cure for allergies. Yet. However, there are many things you can do to help relieve your allergy symptoms. I’ll post about the ones that work for me.

If we’re all very lucky, however, an allergy cure will be found soon, and I will happily post about it.

Have an allergy-free day!
