Life change

I am on my 5th day of being vegan.
I had been thinking about it for a while, had stopped eating meat and eggs and drinking milk/cream for a while but couldn't give up on fish and cheese. Then I came across some information that penicillin is often used with animals. I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but it was huge for me. I have had hives all over my body for about 5 years now, and no doctor was ever able to figure out where they came from. I was just diagnosed with "chronic hives" and told to take Zyrtec every day. Then that stopped working, so they made me take it twice a day (double the recommended amount on the package!) which I wasn't really comfortable with, but would rather do that than have hives. Anyways I realized that the pattern of hives I get without medicine is the same pattern as when I react to penicillin. I wanted to do an experiment to see if it was possibly related to what I was eating.
So far, it has worked. I have gone down to just one pill a day (at night because they make me drowsy - yes, I've been drowsy 24/7 for 5 years!!!) and I haven't had a single hive. Not one. This is so huge!
It looks like I may have found the fix? Don't want to jinx it.
So from here on out I will be posting only vegan recipes, some that I have found and others that I have invented myself. Wish me luck!
