Accepting That You Have an Incurable Disease: Is It Bad That I’m Giving Up Hope for a Cure? How do you manage the hope that you'll grow out of your allergies as an adult when you're already into adulthood?I'm in my mid-twenties now and am still severely allergic to dairy, nuts, peanuts, and legumes. Do I maintain hope that I'll one day "grow out of it" or do I make peace with reality and clear some mind space?
