I wish I was boring. My list isn't as bad as Seliah's but it is extensive.
Lorraine, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who has problems with synthetic perfumes. I have to use Tide Free with nothing else but maybe some plain bleach or Woolite for washing clothing clothing. Hand/bath soap is Ivory as it has less perfume in it than anything else I see on the shelf. Dish soap is plain Dawn. I can't even use the Oxy Dawn. That stuff upset my stomach just breathing the fumes.
As far as food goes the big things are most preserved meats (especially poultry based ones), corn, soy and palm kernel. Different list than Seliah but just as hard to avoid with factory made food.
Drugs are Sulfa, Ranitidine (it's not just for gastric problems it's also an anti histamine), high dose ibuprofen (I was put on that as an anti inflammatory for a rotator cuff injury) and the kind of streoids they use for allery drugs (Flo Nase and another brand of the same sort both made me sick for two hours after each dose).
As far as pollen....... Well.... I have mild to moderate allergies spring, summer, and fall. Then there's dust etc.
Worst allergy according to the testing I had done over 10 years ago was to Russian Thistle. It rated a 5 on the Rast blood antigen test that tops out at 7. You might not think that would be a problem since I'm in the SW USA but the common name around here is Tumble Weed!

Yay!! A fermenting buddy. 
I do all organic, non-GMO or grow my own pretty much. I use to have bad asthma until I change my diet completely. I read labels and got rid most process foods, except the organic non-gmo labeled kind. I have my own beef and chickens. We got pork from a local farmer who does not do the nitrate/nitrate preservative and no gmo feed.

I panicked last night the forums went poofy on me. I couldn't find a log-in for the forms only the shop. I worked on putting my desktop together this am, not sure if I could read what my new buddies were writing about.. Oh, that was a nightmare. I never had such bad instructions before.
I got it all together and win10 in a new hard drive. I had to get Norton on that was a bit frustrating. The nice customer service guy fixed it up for me and even worked on firefox. I only had it download, because Norton and edge don't like each other. LOL Several hours later...I got Win10, norton, and firefox on my system. I am taking a break. lol

Believe me, I check labels too. But, it's much easier to read product information on product pages than it is to try to get out the magnifying glass to read the tiny print on the package! My eyes just aren't all that happy with tiny print anymore. I could read highway signs miles before anyone else in the car could, but the downside to that is being far-sighted, my aren't long enough anymore to be able to read things up close
You know... I might actually look into that, Satira. We already get most of our meats shipped to us from the Midwest (ElkUSA) because all the food issues in this house basically means we have to stick to game meats as much as is possible. So I do have those shipped to us.
I hate shopping with a passion... but I will admit that I'm one of the folks who has always been hesitant to trust someone else to make food picks of good quality. Especially with things like produce.
Geeze, I wish diuretics were ineffective on me. Unfortunately, I have to take them every other day, and usually take it at night so I don't get caught when I'm out of the house. Of course, that usually means I don't sleep as well on those nights.
I can honestly say that at least with diuretics, they work just fine on me. LOL. I take an OTC one on a daily basis out of necessity due to circulation issues that resulted from vericose veins (like most healthcare workers; 16-18 hour days 5 days a week for years... we all have them!).
Wow, Seliah, remind me NOT to shoot you with a tranquilliser gun
I would give anything to be "boring", Lorraine. I hate the laundry list of cannot-haves or will-kill-me-if-exposed. Most of the allergies thankfully are not life threatening; but the bees/wasps and the Amoxacillin very much are. Amoxacillin allergy also ends up ruling out Penicillin, and Augmentin as well. Penicillin is obvious, but Augmentin is ruled out because it contains Amoxacillin. LOL
I'd love to be "boring."
It's just not my luck, though. Luckily for me, I can pretty much make a meal out of what can be found outdoors. And we often do just that, I have to admit. We eat some really strange things in this house (at least by comparison to other "normal" American diets), but it works for us!An elder I once knew, and was very fond of, used to have a saying. "Eat only your own cooking. You'll be healthier for it." When I was a kid, I didn't understand what she meant... by the time I was in my mid teenage years, it was just starting to click... and at this point, boy do I understand what she meant! She was absolutely right!
Terre, I totally feel for you with the list!
Laundry soap - my pup and my Bear are both sensitive to perfumes and dyes. I actually have not bought a commercial laundry soap in about five years.
1 Cup Borax
1 Cup Washing Soda (NOT baking soda!)
1 Bar of Fels Naptha
Mix the Borax and the Washing Soda together in a bowl. Either grind down the Fels Naptha with a grater, or if you have one, you can put it in like a food processor or such and let it grind it down that way. Either way, you want the Fels Naptha ground or at least shaven. Then mix the Fels Naptha into the bowl with the Borax and the Washing Soda.
I use about 1 tablespoon of the stuff on regular soil loads, and for heavy soil loads, I use about 2 tablespoons. It is a low-sud soap, so don't be alarmed if you don't see suds, that's normal.
It works for our stuff. Everything gets clean, no perfumes, no dyes, no extra chemicals. One batch of this stuff will last us (family of three, with a carpenter in the mix) just about a month.
As far as hand soap goes, I usually just get goat milk soap or else oatmeal soap for the house, and that, too, seems to do a pretty good job for us.
@jan19 @Miss B - Morning/Afternoon ladies.
Hope all is going well for you so far....whew. I think that's everyone? LOL!!
My Nephrologist wanted me to take them every day, but even though it's a low doseage, it used to make me light headed and dizzy, and since I'm already on a daily low dose aspirin regime because of that, I thought it would defeat the purpose, so I take them every other day.
I mostly take it to flush the kidneys so I never develop another kidney stone. Once in a lifetime is definitely one too many times.
I take the low dose aspirin because my circulation was never great, and the blood wasn't going up to my head easily/fast enough, and in the years since I've been taking the aspirin, I don't get light headed any more.
I had a mildew allergy which caused earache after earache when I was younger. They finally did an allergy test when I was in high school which is when we learned mildew and I aren't bosum buddies.
Benedryl gives me a rash after the second day on it. Fabulous. Claritin/Claritin D does nothing for itching.
I also get a rash from one of the antibiotic families. That's when I had my first encounter with Hives.
I'm hypersensitive to a lot of the annoying side effects with medications. Fortunately, nothing life threatening or major. Just ... irritating ... so to speak. But, it's no fun when a medication you're on makes you feel worse.
After we were rear ended, my doctor put me on muscle relaxants and anxiety meds. Seriously?!? Turns out I don't tolerate muscle relaxants or anxiety meds very well. The last one had me feeling like I was bouncing off the walls. When I called to complain, the nurse essentially told me to grow up. We found a new doctor.
Later I was referred to a neurologist when I still had neck problems a year after that accident. He tried antidepressant after antidepressant in an attempt to improve my sleep. But I couldn't tolerate the side effects as he increased the dosages. Never could get to a dosage strong enough to be effective. Didn't matter which antibiotic, I couldn't tolerate the fatigue and drowsiness and dry mouth. Top if off, every single trigger point screamed when he "flicked" them. The first time he did that, I just about went through the roof.
It wasn't until I started taking L-Tryptophan that I was able to get the deep sleep I needed to be able to heal.
And then ... the contaminated batches hit the market.

Hey, Seliah.
Thanks!Just wondering...has anyone heard from Dylan lately? I wonder how he's doing.
I discovered a fantastic Irish singer a few days ago, and his accent made me think of Dill.

Amazing how true a statement that is. I am even fussy about the ingredients I use. Of course, most of my family thinks I a little overboard. I even say to them I know you think I am crazy. They don't get why they have so many health problems compared to me. LOL My chickens (meat and egg layers)are free range and only eat organic feeds. My beef is also mostly grass-fed only with the exception of oats I feed my weaned calves in the winter to help them out. It gets to dang cold in Minnesota to let them just eat hay. This year will be a big year since I will be working on improving soil and forage with compost tea and bio-dynamics tea sprayed on my hay fields and some pasture. If I come up missing for days everyone will know what I am doing. lol
That is not right. I give the nurses and doctors a hard time or I use to. LOL I had a bad reaction between my asthma meds and birth control pills. The nurse said you can't go off them (birth control pills). I said," watch me". Dang things messed me up big time. It does not help them I have a biology degree with a minor in genetics and have taken most every class they have and then some. In my later years I went back for training as a nurse, so I probably irritate a few. I don't need a doctor, never really have. I just put up with them for my partner, he has a few issues we need to keep an eye on. I do mostly herbs and the above mentioned eating habits too.
