drill a hole in my head

food allergies are always an odd thing: different with each person and even within that person, subject to lots of change. when I was younger I just thought that you had an allergy and that was that - fortunately it's not that simple, but it's not an easy one to crack. my allergies pretty much vanished in my teens for some years and then came back with a vengeance. peanuts and fish though, have always been pretty much no-go zones due to the sudden and dramatic result of eating them (anaphylaxis). I try every once in a while, to eat foods my body can't cope with and sometimes I get a pleasant surprise. last week I noticed yuka had bought some peanut butter and I had nothing for my toast........

I had a try and after waiting a little, I knew it was okay. I felt a little odd but it was probably just for being so long since my body had been given this mix. I was dead happy and have been dipping the spoon in regularly over the week.

today though, I had two excruciating headaches after both breakfast and lunch. I don't usually get headaches, but these were nasty. I really felt like drilling a hole in my head to release the feeling of pressure. I later realised that I'd had peanuts in both my meals and although this might not have been the cause I'd put down money that it was. oh well. I enjoyed it while it lasted........
