aarrrrggggg, now I'm itchy!!! Brings me back to the days when I cared enough to try and get rid of my allergy reactions and got shots twice a week, then once a week, then every 2 weeks until the next time they changed the mix of allergens to shove under my skin. The itchiness of it all! As if walking outside in the spring wasn't bad enough.
I was/am allergic to cats, dogs, feathers, cigarette smoke, dust mites, grasses, tree pollens, moulds, and dairy. They didn't even try to get me desensitized to dairy, just told me to avoid it... now how am I suppose to avoid ice cream?!?! It's just insane to think that this is possible!!! I will just have to live with "hay fever" type reactions to hagen-dazz... I think this is a fair trade.
At least the injections brought my reactions down from "WOW, I've never seen a reaction that bad before" (said by my allergist when I first went in to get tested and all the scratch sites turned red and puffy and tried to meld together) to "I can now tolerate a cat in the house and someone mowing the lawn in the same day as I have a shortbread cookie make with *real* butter." There is hope.
Now Zelda, what is this about putting put ground-up dust mites under your tongue? I've never heard of that treatment before.
