Hi all sorry took me so long to get back here. I was sick this weekend so I was a good girl and tried to rest.

Well she did fabulous!:D The tech couldn't believe she was only 6.

She had 12 allergy reactions :eek:. Most were mild thankfully but the tech said she thinks the reason she is always so congested is becaus there are so many.

Her worst is to burning wood, I guess the decaying in it spreads through the smoke. She is alergic to Pine, Oak , and Birch trees.

Mold 2 different kinds, dust mites, penicilin ( we knew this one already), hay, mugwort, cat , and egg whites.

She cried when the tech said cats because we have one, but it was a mild reaction. The tech told her that she wouldn't recommend getting rid of the cat at this point just minimizing her contact. Keeping the cat out of her room and not letting them sit together and such.

She wasn't happy about the eggs either, she likes omelettes, it was also mild so the tech recommended trying to cut back on them to try to give her a chance to grow out of it. She recommended duck eggs for omlettes and baking or she gave me some info on how to substitute eggs in baking.

I was lucky a girl at work has ducks and she said she'd bring me eggs, I thought it would take me awhile to find them :D.

They want her to stay on the loratideen, Claritin, year round because her allergies are seasonal and year round ones. Plus she has had temporary hearing blockage do to fluid so they want to try to minimize what they can.

They also recommended not having carpeting in her room which we were going to pull out the old one and put a new one in so instaed we will do pergo.

All in all it went well. Thanks for your thoughts and concerns. I think I'm gonna check out the allergy forum to get some advice there. I love this place.

thanks for getting back to us Carrie;)

Im glad she did so well. My son was also allergic to alot of those.
Dust mites have been the most difficult but its doable and made
a difference for him.

Good luck,

Thanks for the update Carrie, I'm glad to hear it went well over all. One of my kids test positive for a lot of allergies when they were 3 but she had already out grown some of them (she's almost 8 now). We have found that Zyrtec helps her the most (so happy it's OTC now, RX cost us $45 for 4oz, OTC cost $8.50 for 4oz).
