The alternatives that once seemed too slow or too risky or too weird were looking much more attractive now. At my computer job I was used to solving tough technical problems. This was the toughest problem I ever faced and was trying to find a solution with impaired mobility and diminished mental capacity from the drugs. Luckily, I had lots of help. It seemed to me that ITP was related to allergies.
Allergies are cumulative.
If you are allergic to six things you can be exposed to five of them and have no reaction, however the addition of the sixth one could throw you into a sneezing fit. It made sense to reduce the amount of things in my life that cause an allergic reaction. I went to a naturapath recommended by a friend, to have my food allergies tested. The cats I knew about. Food allergies are much more subtle.
