I'm in the process of getting allergy testing and hopefully shots. I have spring/fall/dog/cat/mold/grass/ect allergies that I know of from years back and am just starting to find out how severe to each.
They way my dr does it, is he takes blood and sends it off to the lab. Then there will be a list of allergens that come back as high/med/low. Then he does individual skin testing one at a time for each allergen to see how high the level of reaction is. So he'll inject the allergen into my skin then see if I wheeze/cough/sneeze/get itchy...
I hope that helps, I should know more soon when I get my results back!! |
