An update- also known as why I haven't been around much

@lordvdr is a saint. He has put up with so much aaarrggghh from me already this year. On the plus side, we now have a place to start.
After weeks of feeling like crap snd exhausted and randomly having my mouth swell up I was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis and am now doing an elimination diet to try and identify which foods are trying to kill me.
An allergist got me in for an emergency appt and so far we've definitely identified eggs and dust mites as true allergies. But EoE allergies are not the same reactions and can only be identified through trial after elimination diets. Probably milk is the food I'm reacting to, hope to figure it out after a few weeks.
And just to add insult to injury, I somehow broke a tooth on the 4th and am getting a crown fit tomorrow afternoon.
I am whining. Yep. But I caught this before it destroyed my ability to eat or drink or breathe. And it can be managed through diet and meds. But I'm tired and grumpy and whiny. :)

The cats have been ultra cuddly and cute and helped us thoroughly clean the bedroom of potential dust mite habitats yesterday. They appreciated the clean sheets and towels as well.
