Good evening..and a cold one it is!!!!

Yesterdays trip to St Mary's started badly ...long delays on the trains due to a power failure..and ended with a 'downer' too!

After no reaction to 1/100 of a sting Joe reacted with a 'positive' to 1/10 of a sting.

Joe and I are both disappointed as, with 2 negative skin tests and 2 negative blood tests we were hoping for an ' all-clear'. False optimism!

Still, I guess we are no worse off than before, and at least now we 'know'.

Now we await the letter from the consultant telling us what her thoughts are (Immunotherapy I guess)

Thanks for all your 'Good Wishes' anyway!

That is very disappointing for you and a new burden of responsibility to consider too. I hope the reaction was not too unpleasant - I think the whole sting...	David Glaser unitbusuk	Jan 11, 2009 7:29 pm
