Again, this is really a job for an allergist! Have you ever had your tryptase tested?

Just take the Pred and see what happens! Stay in contact with BOTH your neuro and an allergist (do you have one?!). There are both good and bad things to having specialists. Again, just don't expect your neuro to be an allergist. It's way over his head because he didn't study it in depth.

When you have a disease like MG plus things like allergies, you need to rely on all members of your "team" on not on just one particular doctor. I know it sucks to have a lot of doctors. But if everything they do gets sent to an internist, then you have actual "coordinated care," which could save your butt.

You're not making everyone crazy. This is brand new to you. You need to ask lots of questions. And you want to do what's best for you. Maybe writing down how the Pred makes you feel, if it's improving things, etc. every day would help. I always keep a log of a new drug like that. And it helps to "journal" about what you're going through in general.

Okay, I'm repeating myself here . . . GO SEE AN ALLERGIST SOON.

Trust your instincts, Nancy, and you'll be just fine.
