Oh good! I have terrible, terrible allergies. My "allergy season" runs from February through November! I have 2 good months depending on the allergens. When my allergies aren't in control, I am more sensitive to chemicals.
I have only had the skin test and that was enough. Within seconds of the test I was miserable as the welts started forming on my back and arms. Man, those suckers itch! Since I reacted so much to the skin test the allergist didn't need to do the blood tests. I did do the shots (6 shots - 3 days a week) for a while but it was hard as I was working and only had 1/2 hour for lunch and you need to stay there for 1/2 after the shot. So, 3 days a week I had to take a 1 hour lunch and the boss didn't like it much. ![]() It would be interesting to see what your results are and if controlling your allergies helps with the chemical sensitivities. I know it helps me. |

Oh I forgot (memory is still real bad), Dr did put me on Allegra for my allergies and Topamax to make sure I'm not having any real migraines (non MCS related ones) because I have headaches 24/7 right now. I can't wait to see what the allergy test shows.
