I'm allergic to exercise. My life just became a joke.

Unfortunately, you weren't deceived by the title of this post. Remember that allergic reaction I had last week? We decided it would probably be wise to go to an allergy specialist and find out what exactly I'm allergic to before I go on my mission. 
Yesterday we did just that and although my medications from the hospital interfered with the testing and I have no idea what food I'm allergic to (60 shots in my arm for absolutely nothing, sweet) we did leave with a diagnosis: Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis. Yep, I'm the lucky 2% of the population who is actually allergic to exercising. My life just became one big huge joke.
Basically, I have food allergies that don't effect me unless I exercise right after I eat and the food gets pumped through my blood. Yikes. 
Don't worry, there is a simple solution. I never have to exercise again!!! Just kidding. Now, I only exercise in the morning before I eat and I steer clear of the food I'm allergic. I'm going back to find that out on Thursday--bring on 60 more shots.

Seriously people, what is my life??
