Asthma Attack
Hi everyone, today I will be writing about a asthma attack that I had, in gym class. I almost had to go to the hospital!!!
When I was in the 5th grade we had gym class. In gym class each year we had a pacer test, were we had to run up and down the court when a buzz went off. Each time you went up or down the court the test wold count your score. Me being the competitive person I am wanted to win. I started running and I was so confident that I was going to win! I got to the score 50 and I started not to be able to breath, but I kept going. Then I got to score 65 and my asthma was even worse, But I kept going. I got to 90 and I could not do it anymore, I felt like I was going to pass out. Right when I stopped I told my gym teacher that I could not breath he sent me straight down to the office. In my elementary school we could not carry any type of medicine so we had to go down to office. I remember being so embarrassed, but looking back on it I don't understand why I was embarrassed because I am a girl with asthma and I came In 2nd place!! I definitely should have stopped but I'm competitive and thats ok!!
Thank you so much for reading my blog!! This is a little short one but I thought it was good real life story to tell!! If you have asthma you may know asthma is not fun but if you need your inhaler you should take it!!! Never let your asthma limit you because you are who you and asthma is just one part of you!!
Peace out,

Increase In Food Allergies!?
Hey everyone have you ever wondered why so many kids have food allergies? Today I will be writing about why so many people may have food allergies.
Why does 5.9 million kids have food allergies? Why did food allergies suddenly increase? The world may never know but there are some theories. In 2007 5% of children had food allergies nationwide. The percentage doubled in 2013, 10% of children had food allergies. Then in 2016 almost 25% of children had food allergies, Why?
Some people may think vaccines? In 1940 the recommend vaccines were smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, and hertussie. Through 1940 to 2010 the vaccines have tripled. In 2010 14 vaccines were recommend. In 2010 children of the age of two received 24 vaccines, 5 vaccines per doctor visit, but why would vaccines cause food allergies? What is in the vaccines that may be causing food allergies?
Another theory is over exposure to food allergies. Back in the olden days people had to make there own bread form scratch, meaning they had to go get all their ingredients themselves and make the bread. Also in the 1900s was the first ever milk industry so many people back then didn't drink milk. Now people can just go and get bread and milk from their local grocery store. Also some people may think not enough exposure, which means when you are a baby your parent should give you peanuts, tree nuts and wheat and other allergens, if you do that you may not develop allergies? If over exposure may cause allergies why would not enough exposure cause allergies too, the world may never know?
I believe that vaccines have caused so many food allergies over the years because, in 1940 there were only 4 vaccines which I believe were necessary. Now there are tons of vaccines for children and who know what's inside those vaccines. There are no true facts that the cause is vaccines or any other theories, but I hope one day someone will figure out why so many people have allergies and let us be free from wondering.
Thank-you so much for reading my blog, there are so many theories about why so many people have food allergies and these are just three. I do believe that vaccines may have caused the increase in food allergies but maybe you don't. You can always have you own opinion, but I hope one day someone figures out why so many children have food allergies and I believe someone will, maybe it will be me or one of you!!
Peace out Izzy✌️
Anxiety
Hey everyone today I will be writing about anxiety. I have anxiety! Having anxiety makes it hard to try new foods because my anxiety always stops me from eating things I want.
Have you ever worried about something? Anxiety can cause you to worry about many things and sometimes you won't even know why you are worrying. Anxiety can also cause you to feel tense or very fearful in situations like trying new foods or eating food with allergies. Some ways you can calm down your anxiety is, you can breath slowly to calm down a anxiety attack or distract yourself.
I have had many anxiety attacks over my 14 years because of my allergies. Whenever I try a new food I always worry. My brain would say to me, "what if you have a reaction", " what if you have to epi-pen", " what if you have to go to the hospital". Then I would say to my brain "What if I eat the new food and I'm perfectly fine". Over my 14 years I have gotten over my anxiety because I have told myself I will be ok and everything happens for a reason. I believe all things happen for a reason, you may have anxiety but there is always a way to fight and overcome anxiety, so fight!!
Thank you so much for reading my blog! Anxiety is a hard thing to overcome because you always have these fears in your head. Having allergies too may make anxiety harder to overcome but you have anxiety and allergies for a reason and you can always overcome anxiety, so overcome it!!
Peace out
