I saw this news yesterday - might’ve even already shared it here, too - but I can’t stop thinking about it. My disabling allergies have always been as unchangeable a part of me as my weirdly wired brain or my thick hair. The last three years, secluded away behind a paranoid wall of gloves and masks, have ironically been the healthiest of my life. There’s never been a back to normal for me, because there ain’t shit I can eat at most food places, and one safe choice at most of the rest. If I fuck up with a contact allergy, I break out in heinous hives and or ulcers. If I fuck up with a food allergy, it’s a migraine to start, with up to two weeks of me/cfs type crash afterwards.
But what if, somehow, they actually manage to make a vaccine that would ramp my immune system down and make it forget that it thinks wheat is a mortal threat? What the fuck could my life even be if I could cuddle my rats, or let the cats sleep on the bed again?
I told my husband that it feels like a lottery ticket, too small a chance to get excited about - but it’s a lottery I never thought would exist for the likes of me.
Is this hope?
