Default Poor Monkey

So as some of you may remember Chewy has been itching like a crazy animal. We saw a dermatologist 3 weeks ago and had an allergy test done. Vet said that food allergy tests were unreliable and therefore only did one for enironmental allergens. She is allergic to maple trees, dust, mold as well as other trees and stuff ive never heard of. I got the relults over the phone but they should be faxed to my vet.
Solution: VACCINES THAT I have to administer every other day!!!!!!!!! Ok so let me tell you a little bit about myself... I FAINTED once when i had to get a shot! and get dizzy and light headed every other time. Just seeing a needle makes me queezy!!

Plus how much is this going to cost me??? The doses become further spread apart every few weeks but they will continue for a year or 2 until the symptoms go away. So here is where I need major advice guys... WHAT DO I DO?//??

I am so confused i dont know what to do with myself. The only other option is oral medication that i will give continuously...

Here are the medications if anyone has used them please let me know..

Temerol P gives immediate relief, Atopica is longer lasting but wont give full relief for 2-4 weeks or something like that.

I also dont know if i should now continue to change her food. What if she isnt allergic to the food even though the doctor says she probably is.

Im sooo confused and skeptical about this whole thing... i clean regularly, i dont think there is mold in my house but honestly i dont know how to tell and she BARELY ever goes outside so i dont know how she can be sooo alergic to trees that she sees once a week.

Pleasse any advice right now is appreciated. Thanks
