frustration!
We *finally* went to see the allergist yesterday. They ordered a blood test (the POOR thing, I believe they half drained her) and a Rx for zyrtec to help with the itching. He said she'd have to come back for the skin-prick test and I'd probably have to see a dietician once we figure out what I can't eat. I'm losing weight and super tired all the time since I can't eat the things she reacts to.
The frustrating part is that they take forever to get to the next appointment. We started this whole deal on 1 December. Two months later they had us scheduled to see the allergist. And her NEXT appointment is in TWO MORE MONTHS. This is NOT how you deal with allergies, especially when the health of two people need attention. Gary is going to try to talk to the medical command and see if we can't expedite this process or go off post to a civilian doctor. I'm going to weigh freaking 80 lbs by the time we figure this allergy thing out and she'll be wasting away too.
