Here we go! I’m hopefully going to get some answers to why my eyes (and face) have been red, dry, and puffy.
I confirmed that environmental intradermal testing is first. Then a patch test (for chemicals, etc., at another date), and then it’s a discussion with the doctor of we want/need to try foods.
The first tests were just a simple pinprick. The follow up are actual under the skin shots. I need 19 of the 21 available.
By the time she was done with all 19 individual shots, this is what it looked like…and then 30 minutes later.
The shots are going to be freaking annoying since I have to do them there. Either once a week for 9 months or once a week for 9 weeks (sped up process in which I get two shots pet visit with a wait in-between). I have to call insurance to see what’s covered.

12 Alternaria mold worst
13 Aspergillus mold
14 Helminthosporium mold
16 DP Mite worst
18 Feather
19 Cockroach
20 UF dog
21 AP cat
So, I wasn’t super allergic to anything…which is technically good, but rather disappointing because that means it wasn’t an easy answer to what’s been going on.
