I actually very rarely post nowadays about 'my life'. I think I should... but in general most of my posts are about my opinion or things I interact with... Media for example ( Read more... )

allergies, personal, medical

I had allergy testing when I was little (6 years old?), it included the back needle-scratch test and injecting small amounts of allergens SQ on my arms and legs. On the bright side, I also remember getting ice cream, a model air-plane kit, and watching some disney movie or another after it was all over. ^_^

Did they text you for dye-allergies? (Dyes like blue 2 or yellow 5)

I've found a significant decrease in my allergies now that I'm using a daily steroidal nose spray to try and avoid the sinus infections that I seem to always have.

The worst part? I don't spike a fever when I have a sinus infection. My body seems to just be used to having some level of infection in it at all times.

It's amazing when you finally realize that you've not had to take medication for the first time in forever - and you still feel fine. I hope that you get that feeling :-)

The tests were all negative for me too. The steroid has helped a lot tho when it comes to the nasal stuff. They have me on meds for the skin reactions tho, which seem to be just caused by "touch".

One of these days, i really should get an allergy test. As it is, my diagnosis is idiopathic urticaria -- that is, itching for no apparent reason. So long as I take zyrtec or something of the sort daily, it mostly holds off, but I live in fear of the day it won't.

Also, good on you for going to the allergist and getting Nasonex! I love that stuff.
