Unexpected Torture at the Allergist

June 21st, 2002 · No Comments

In my mind, my trip to my new allergist would entail me telling him my symptoms and showing him my records from my old allergist and then him writing me out some new prescriptions and sending me on my merry way. Instead, he decided to torture me for 1 1/2 hours with a scalpley type instrument and a bonanza of my favorite allergens. #1 reaction: cats. No surprise. I have a big red blotch on my back that’s bleeding from that one. Yum. #2: ragweed. And ragweed season isn’t until the end of the summer. I’m looking forward to it. There is no ragweed in CA, so I’m unsure how I’ll react. He’s having me come back in 2 months when my friend ragweed makes his appearance.
