Big hugs to all.
Ditto the lurking. About the only thing I'm dealing with besides allergies is when the fibromyalgia flares up. I'm on Humira for it but I still can trigger an attack when I do too much heavy work. Cleaning the yard two days in a row kept me so crippled that I didn't move at all this last Sunday. Even breathing hurts when it gets that bad. Laying down is agony. Once I stop moving around, the pain will recede a little. I'm much better today.
Losing weight and my change in diet (more water and vegetables) has reduced the pain in my joints, skin etc. I think my diet plays an important part in this as my hand pain and skin sensitivity is almost gone.

What I'm trying to say as you lose the weight and change your eating habits I hope you'll see a decrease in your allergies and fibromyalgia.
