My testing is next monday. I'm getting nervous about it all. I've nearly been stung twice in the last week because of the stupid wacky weather we're having....
Hi Cate! Have no wise words I'm afraid, but good luck! and I'm sure you'll be fine :-) 80 degrees is quite hot! it's pretty cold here today, but still see...
I think the only advice I can give you is to think positively about what you are doing because you are starting to take control of the situation rather than...
Yup. Same weather here. It was 32 yesterday which is insanely hot for october. I put it into the metric converter and it comes out to 90. Its pouring...
Spooky about the weather isn't it ? I am in north Ohio about an hour south of Cleveland. It's almost always way too hot or way too cold but I keep living...
I got bit by what I thought was mosquitos on saturday night while gabbing with a friend but in hindsight it was a deer fly becuase there was something buzzing...
... skin test is a piece of cake and much more accurate than blood tests it will be interesting to see the outcome your instant reactions to stings seem...
I'm still worried about it ;) but to take my mind off of it, my best friend is taking me shopping in New York this weekend. (its an early birthday pressy...
I have not finished yet - and am in year 5 but most people here in the UK stop after three years. I am not sure what the time is in N America. To be honest...

Well that wasn't part of a relaxing shopping trip now was it ? Maybe being sick will take your mind off of it. Poor baby ! Let us know how things went. We...
Well, I failed but only for yellow jackets. I had a suspected reacton to them on round two and a definate one on round three. I guess this is good and bad....
... anyways getting shots for just yellow jacket shouldnt be bad at least you wouldnt need to get multiple shots like alot of us.yellow jackets are responsible...
Hi Cate, Well at least it is over and you know who the enemy is. I suspect Rich is right - if you are going to have the shots then it would be worth getting...
Cate, I'm going to chime in here too with if you need the shots....... get them started. It takes time to get started and it takes time to get to your...
I have a couple of reservations about it. One is that I'm trying to get pregnant (blush)and he said its not a great idea to start it then. The other is that...

Cate, Those to bits of information certainly explain why you are waiting. I don't know a thing about venom therapy and pregnancy or autoimmune issues. Bet...
Hi Sun, Well typically the doctor will take a detailed case history of your problem which takes up some time usually. Then you will either have a skin prick...
Hi Sun, I haven't been to see an allergist yet. My last anaphalactic shock was 2 years ago - my reaction although scary isn't in the same league as Deb and...
