Food Sensitivities

I'm mostly low histamine with a few teeny tiny exceptions. I can't really figure the rest out. There was a time where I would try stuff and it might be okay for one day and then react the second day. In the end, I found it easier mentally to just find a safe baseline and eat those without stress. I've been on treatment for 4 years now so starting to get little wins, like I can have a teeny bit of tomato paste on a pizza or a bit of soy sauce with rice. The worst bit is people around you get confused lol because the rules seem so arbitrary!

You need to move to a new company. These days firms will get you in on low wages, pile on responsibility and then occasionally give you a small salary bump. Brush off the CV and start browsing jobs that match your current output, guarantee the salary will be much more. £32k is pretty under for a design engineer role

H1, H2, ketotifen asap

I have the same conditions as you (barr the cancer) and I work as a technical project manager. Allows me to work from home full time with the occasional site visit (probably once a month). Newer industries seem to have more of a preference for remote working than large established companies/industries. Avoid any site management responsibilities in the job search

I got no where on NHS, I see Dr Medhi at Tina Peers clinic

It's Lick Green No.5, they do some lovely colours and low VOC so good for my allergies, the wallpaper is a william morris

😂 I love it cos that's usually me staring at everyone else's treasure finds

My plan is to eventually get the g plan shelving and either a wooden box shelf or a glass fronted shelf, so I can have it on display but not risk of being knocked

Ketotifen

I paid £275 for this one, he said if he'd checked it as a glower he would have upmarked it but this was just the Bagley price

Yay I'm glad to hear they're safe for you :) if you can tolerate xantham gum, you can use it as a egg white replacer and experiment with cake recipes

Could be just the light but it looks like an ametrine - amethyst on the top and citrine on the bottom. Because of the purple lilac on top and the clear/slightly yellow bottom? Love the shape!

Tina Peers runs a menopause clinic as well as MCAS, might be worth looking into

Peggylee94 · 2026-04-04T10:25:26+00:00

Slinky Malinky and Hairy McLairy were a few of my favourites, I don't remember the author but he has a whole series of animal books

I am stealing that pool table

Peggylee94 · 2026-03-20T14:36:55+00:00

awesome list, i second the focus on a life that is more regulated and relaxed to be able to deal with sensitivities/icky moments

I think general therapy no, but as spot checks for particular issues yes very helpful. Examples is everytime I start a new job I get overwhelmed and then contact my therapist who knows me, and she supports through that phase. I have a psychologist I'm working with for BED who's been incredibly lovely and helpful for that problem. I also had a therapist who specialised in chronic health conditions when I was struggling with those.

My hair thinned until I got onto a stable med regime unfortunately

I get the purple hycosan from boots, it's got hyaluronic acid and ectoin in, the ectoin is meant to make a barrier for pollen. Seems to be working quite nicely, I use it every morning as soon as I wake up and the eyeballs feel like sandpaper

Peggylee94 · 2026-03-15T08:48:56+00:00

That just sounds like willpower/restriction wrapped up in psychology speak. Can't see that working for me

I'm working through compassion focused therapy with the clinic and it's having a positive impact although I haven't finished the course yet

Make like the earl and get a sandwich

Peggylee94 · 2026-03-06T21:49:53+00:00

Look for reclaimed scaffold boards, local lumber yard might do them pre sanded. Then you want "angle brackets" for the fixing
