Where is the PA Kid?

That seems to be the question! Thanks to all of you who have emailed me to see if I have fallen off the planet. (I apologize to those of you who haven't received a reply yet. I will!) For the two or three of you who are still reading the blog, I am still alive. I promise!

I apologize for not announcing my unexpected absence. I kept thinking I would be back into the swing of things. Yet, I didn't.

So, where was I? Well, coping with my own health problems that, thankfully, are not food allergy related. Yet, they have been life changing, nonetheless. I have spent the last few weeks desperately trying to get a handle on my own health where there doesn't seem to be a lot of answers. I am doing a tremendous amount of research.

One thing many of my readers may find very interesting is that many of the dietary changes that I have made in the last few months, and particularly the last few weeks, have causes Tyler's eczema to completely disappear! I still can't believe it was as simple as a few simple changes has helped him be rash free for the first time in his life.

I'm sure I will be sharing my journey over the last few weeks. If you are interested in healthier eating and a lifestyle in general, you might like those posts. For me, sharing this journey will be a bit of a catharsis.

Even though my health problems are not food allergy related, FA's are touching me in very real ways. The dietary changes I must make have forced me to contact companies to make sure the new foods I must eat are safe for for other two nut allergy family members. This has been a draining process!

Thank you so much to those of you that are still checking this blog. There were moments when I felt totally overwhelmed with my own problems that I felt like stopping the blog. Sometimes writing about my son's (and now my husband) nut allergy is depressing. Yet, knowing I help others is why I do it. But hearing from some of you (many of you are people I have never met face to face) reminds me that this blog is needed. It is something I can write while I deal with my own health problems. Food allergies are my passion!

I would love to hear in the comments from some of you what you would like me to cover in some upcoming posts. I'm going back to square one to start planning posts. In addition, I may only blog 3 days a week for the next few weeks so I can devote some time to research for my own health issues. By the fall, I hope to be back to my regular schedule.

Thanks again for all the support! I would love to know what and where you would like to see the blog covering.
