I am back on the cheesewagon! I am whipping the pony with a cheesestring! I can hear the squelching of my tires through the cheese-like mud!<\/p>\n
Yes, one scant year later, (can you believe it?) th’cheeseblog will once again serve to document the absence of cheese in my life. Today I visited with a naturopath and she told me to STOP IT! Stop eating cheese (and garlic, onions and mushrooms…she did have the grace to say “I don’t understand, you’re Italian<\/b>,”) and waltz my way to a much more pleasant, itch-free existence. <\/p>\n
Oh, mostly I itch. It’s what bothers me. I am red-faced and itchy all the time. My doctor said, “huh. I don’t see anything. Try hydrocortisone.” And the hydrocortisone works, a lot like a bottle of calamine lotion or wine. It makes the itching\/pain stop but it doesn’t make the thing that makes the itching\/pain go away and stop itching\/hurting. <\/p>\n
So my second try is the naturopath. Of course she did food sensitivity tests. And of course she pinpointed dairy and (to a lesser degree) wheat, so the woman I work with who predicted that this would happen gets, I dunno, $5? And it is with a degree of skepticism that I embark on this drastic and unconventional path. However, as evidenced by my attendance at a party with a naked dancing man the other night, I do belong to the school of Don’t Knock It Till You’ve Tried It\/Had it Waved In Your Face. If I stop itching, it will be so<\/b> very worth it.<\/p>\n
