Sara Gets Wierder
Still trying to figure out allergies or whatever with Sara. They are getting worse. For anyone who hasn't seen me lately. I am reacting to something in some foods (mostly candy) and some cars. I want to post it here so if anyone else is Googling it, they might hit an answer sooner. I am headed to Duluth this week for an allergy test that will hopefully fill in the blanks.
The reaction I am having is textbook for Central Nervous System Depression. Not really depression, but the kind of drug induce stupor you get from "downers" or some prescriptions. Check out the link on the right to get a quick idea. Everything except coma and death (thank you, God) are what I experience when in the car even for a minute (literally).
What we think it is: Anti-Freeze. We don't know how because Gid doesn't know how it would get into the car and our cars don't have it in now, but the reaction happened again when he was working on a truck in the garage and spilled some. Also ANTI FREEZE IS IN FOOD it's an additive listed under "Artificial Flavorings), propylene glycol, and E1520. I found one pop (A & W float) that had propylene listed on the ingredients. I drank about a shot glass and was nuts (for lack of an easier word) for about an hour.
Hopefully the allergist can test me for forms of antifreeze and clue us into exactly what is happening. Until then, Sara is housebound unless necessary. And driving is out of the question. Check out the link, I was happy to find one that listed my symptoms so on target.

Oh Sara! I had no idea how bad it was! I hope you get better somehow. -Renee
