i'm always flirting with problems with this allergy i have

mostly i get away with it but then on occasions i get the rash and on rarer occasions i get this many-days-long bronchoconstriction

salbutamol and salmeterol both open up the tubes but the first remedy i found when it hit me hard in prison in 2014 was caffeine

that's all i have around me right now

i think cannabis can help, at least some varieties, but others not so much

the escalation of this issue was part of the reason why i stopped smoking a little over a year ago finally permanently

my hostility towards the medical/food industrial complex is rooted in this allergy, and it predates this severe problem i have now, as i on and off had mild issues for a long time

note that i spent a couple of years homeless, and during the sometimes several month long periods that i was completely without support and scraping for food and eventually started begging, my health was better... even though a lot of the time i was eating bread, the most common thing for me to find left out to feed people like me

the thing was i didn't eat very much, i was some days starving most of the day but for a few bites

anyway, writing this because i'm drinking an espresso to calm this down and standing up is less suffocating feeling than laying down trying to sleep
