cue the smartasses with the pollen allergy.

I mean the outofthewayfoods/serious allergy.

Just interested in seeing if others were as dumb as I was as a teen.

When I was real young, my parents say I was pretty much always sick. They tried various things like hay fever and what not but their could never figure out what was wrong. Eventually, the doctor decided to do that test where they poke a bunch of needles in your back to see what I reacted to. It turned up nothing. Zilch. Nada.

As I got older, I stopped being sick all the time. These days I have the immune system of a champion, which is surprising because I'm kind of a drunk. I can honestly say that I have never had an allergic reaction to something.

That sounds like Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

This all happened between the ages of 1 and 4, I don't even remember it. But I highly doubt my near constant bronchitis and cold like symptoms were fake. Plus, neither of my parents are wackadoodles.

Sometimes with Munchausen syndrome by proxy, the symptoms are induced instead of lied about. But with it being a short(ish) period and not having any other abusive signs from your parents, it probably wasn't MSBP. Glad you got better before you could really remember being miserable.
