50 mg dose

Tomorrow, it is time to head back to the allergist to up my dose. Actually, I was supposed to go last Friday but it decided to snow 30+ inches of snow and trap me in my house. At least I got a week off of school, ugh school, not ready to go back on Monday.

 Anyway, Here is a picture of the 50 mg...

This time, I did get a little more adventurous and mixed my dose with other apple products...apple crisp. I am getting really tired off applesauce and I may not be able to eat it after I finish the flour stage. I can't wait til I am "forced" to eat candy everyday. Not many people can say that in their life.

Day 5 (January 8, 2016)

Another early morning... missing school isn't that fun when you have to wake up earlier than usual. Anyway, my dad and I got on the road to get my new dose.

I am up to 50 mg. Knock on wood, I have not had any reactions at an up dose. Very uneventful.

After eating my apple sauce, I attempted to teach myself the chemistry lesson I was missing. Yay, chemical reactions! Then, I flipped through a magazine and played a game with my dad. 

Want to play? Okay, here you go. You are given $10 million dollars, you can buy anything you want but it has to start with the same letter as your name. As you can tell, my life would be great. I could have a mansion, a Maserati, manicures, macaroni, and much more. My dad's things were not so good. What would you get? 

I decided to spin around in my chair while my dad was in the restroom.

Then, we scheduled my next appointments and headed home. After picking up McDonald's for lunch, so much for the whole healthy New Years resolution thing, we got on the road and then realized we didn't get my peanut flour. Whoops! We turned around and quickly got it. 

On the ride home, I spent my time singing and sleeping. My two favorite "s" words.

THE BIGGEST NEWS...I have officially gotten over the trace amount and can eat anything that says may contain a trace amount.

25 mg dose

This is going to be a very short post due to winter break.

Here is the dosing size in picture form.

Okay, so I basically ate the flour in apple sauce this whole period of time for a couple of reasons. 

1. If I mix it really well in apple sauce, I can pretty much mask the taste
2. I went on vacation with a friend and it was easier to just pack some apple sauce (especially since I had to take it in the car a few times)

I did have a few symptoms this step. A few days, I got a stomach ache (which is common in OIT patients) On the first day of my trip, I got a hive on my jawline that I'm still not certain was from the peanut (I slept on the pillows at the condo and some laundry detergents cause a reaction on my sensitive skin).

The time blew by really quick and I can't believe how quickly the amount is growing. Before I know it, I will be free to eat whatever I want.

Day 4 (December 21, 2015)

We're back for the next appointment and once again I left early in the morning to make it in time. I'm up to 25mg...one step closer to the ultimate goal.

This wasn't a very exciting appointment, I went back to the room and ate my peanut flour in some applesauce. I still can't figure out how they get it completely mixed in so I can't taste it. This was an important dose increase because it is when many kids have their first reaction. Thus, I was trying hard to control my nerves. 

Since I'm on winter break, I was able to relax and just watch some YouTube videos (I wanted to watch Netflix but I couldn't get it to work). 

After it was done, they sent us home with my capsules and we were back in the car on the way to lunch and then home.
