What should I expect in the first visit? A bit of background info...I've had "hay fever" most of my life, although the last 7 or 8 years it has been much better. A couple of years ago I started breaking out in hives randomly. I never could figure out exactly what set them off--they usually go away within a day but each time they're worse than before and it's getting kind of scarey. Most recently ibuprofen and aceteminophen are sure fire hives for me.

Anyway, now I'm being sent to an allergist. First visit do they usually do any testing or what goes on? Not nervous, just curious on what to expect.
