Zodi - I am right there with you!
Each year, something new is added to the list of what I am allergic to. I went last week to have allergy testing done, but because my asthma was so bad, they couldn't do the skin test. They are doing blood work and I find out next week what new things I need to avoid. I'm considered high risk for anaphylaxis and asthma attacks when exposed to my allergens. It seems everything I love I become allergic to. I love animals - allergic to them. I refuse to give up my dogs though and take 3 allergy meds since I'm not quite convinced that they are a major allergy for me. I've been allergic to vitamin C from birth - you're the first person I've heard of who has a similar allergy. When I was little, if I had any citrus fruit, I'd be in the hospital. My allergy list now includes penicillin, erythromycin, wool, stinging insects, nylon, vitamin C, pollen, trees, animal dander, dust, mold. I have Celiac's which is an allergy to wheat gluten - although I'm still mild and can eat gluten products - I just get cramps and need to use the bathroom immediately afterwards. What more is there to be allergic to? I am so totally with you on this - my family think I'm crazy and that it must be something unhealthy that I am doing that I keep developing allergies. I think it's an immune disorder - overly active immune system or something.

I kind of know what you mean... I have severe allergies to almost every pollen, moderate allergies to wheat, eggs, severe penuts, and a few other foods, as well as allergies to mold, severe allergies to dust and dust mites, and allergic to cats. My head goes into a fog most of my day, due to my allergies to mold and dust in my classrooms, and I often feel a burning sensation when exposed to molds... I feel fatigued all the time, too... Hang in there :)
