Yesterday was the last day of allergy testing and I was informed that they save the worst for last.
I got less injections but they were more painful because with the food testing they have to give you a bigger dose of the allergen.
Just so you know, I was not allergic to any foods but one. Which is a relief since I think I have probably consumed massive quantities of each of these foods over the last 39 years. I have also eaten quite a bit of the food that I am actually allergic to but have never noticed a reaction. I am apparently allergic to RICE. Isn't that a weird one?. I am not a huge fan of rice unless it is crispy and mixed up with melted marshmallows, LOL, so it should not be a problem to reduce my intake of said food.
Today is the hearing test and visit with the doctor. I have already decided that regardless of the shear number of things that I am allergic to, I will NOT be getting allergy shots. My BIL has had them and you go once or twice a week for a couple of years and if you stop, you have to start over from the beginning. The thing is that you have to pay your specialist co pay EACH visit. So I would be looking at $20 or $40 dollars per WEEK for up to five years. NOPE!!! Not going to do it. If I pay $20 to $40 a week its going to be on a pedicure or spa treatment,lol.
