It’s a shame you’re allergic to watermelon - not something I was aware that people were allergic to until you mentioned it. :-(

Yesterday was the best day I’ve had since Thanksgiving, thank God .... it appears I’m on the ‘right track’! :-)

It’s a funny allergy, not the typical kind. It’s an allergy to all melons, cantaloupe and honeydew also. What is does is create an itching inside my sinuses, and it used to be only in the summer when grasses were blooming. Now it’s year round. So I don’t break out in hives, but I itch inside my ears, nose, throat, and sinuses. It’s miserable. I have tried having drinks with artificial watermelon flavor, and that messes me up also.

I wish I could have them, but it’s just not worth it anymore. It does make me sad sometimes. I really loved all of the melons. Watermelon rind pickles were a special treat.

I’m glad you’re beginning to have to some better days. :)
